    Yes, I've factored the rest of the company in as a separate cost... how many people to run it once it has been built, gathering users/data, marketing etc.

    But I wanted to get an idea of what outsourcing the creation of it would be. Outsourcing, I think, is the only way forward as I definitely don't have the expertise to manage hiring a tech team. Also, a company that has does apps for a living will have code ready from previous projects that they could piece together. All the functions already exists in so many apps, very little would need to be build from scratch. But a brand new team won't have any assets.

    • No, a company that "does apps for a living" will not have "all the functions" they can "piece together".sublocked
    • I cant think of any successful app-based company that farmed out the creation of their app. You've gotta continue to evolve. You need a teammonNom
    • Hire someone with the expertise to hire a tech team.monNom
    • In fairness a lot of companies start out with an outsource for proof-of-concept. My current company outsourced initial build.orrinward2
    • And now we have a dev team, largely still building from the outsourced initial project.orrinward2
