Event Sphere Solutions × BLCKHAT

Dedicated design and full-stack development capacity across the full V1 → V3 roadmap: mobile optimization, debugging, new roles and reporting for V1, the subscription model and feature expansion for V2, and the AI-powered sales process for V3. Also included: Agile sprint delivery, UX/CRO optimization, direct founder access, and ongoing maintenance. One number, one scope, no à la carte add-ons.

Ongoing. We're not quoting a fixed-price V1 build and walking away, this is a monthly partnership that carries Sphere through V1, into V2, and on to V3 as the roadmap evolves. The agreement defines the scope and rate, not a hard end date.

Working in what's already there. We reviewed your stack front to back, Next.js, MongoDB, the full architecture, and the verdict was modern, well-architected, and fully within our expertise. We step in to finish V1, not start over.

Part of the engagement. Moving generation of proposals and BEOs off Puppeteer onto @react-pdf/renderer, cutting roughly 360–678 MB per document down to 10–20 MB, is scoped as part of the V1 performance pass, not billed separately.

First month is due at kickoff, then billed monthly on the first of every month. We'll send the agreement to sign, send the invoice once it's signed, and create your Slack channel and begin once payment is confirmed.

Yes, a written agreement that locks the scope and deliverables so both sides know exactly what's included. It's billed monthly with no long-term lock-in: the contract defines the work, not a fixed term. We execute, you renew.

Nick and Andrew are your main contacts, available at all hours, weekdays, weekends, and holidays, typically responding within 10 minutes. Day to day runs through Slack, with direct access to our emails and cells, plus a standing weekly Zoom for alignment and accountability. All live progress is tracked in a shared file, no chasing status updates.

You do. The codebase, the database, the infrastructure, and every account we touch stay in Sphere's name. We work inside your environment, so if the partnership ever ends, you keep the platform, the data, and everything we've built. Nothing is held hostage.

Access to your repo, infrastructure (MongoDB, Vercel, third-party services), and product documentation, plus a signed agreement and the first invoice settled. Once that's confirmed, we create a Slack channel (or join yours), send onboarding items, and begin.

Yes. We operate as an extension of your team, not an outside vendor. Where you have internal capacity, we divide the work clearly so there's no overlap and no gaps. Where you don't, we own design and development end to end.

We scale with you. Our design and development team is fully in-house, not subcontracted, and we add dedicated talent on demand as the roadmap demands more, V2's subscription model, V3's AI-powered sales process, without compromising quality or continuity, and without rescoping the engagement.

No, this is our team end to end. We're a full-stack, experienced dev team that's worked together for 8+ years, with specialists across the stack, including AI, so V1 through V3 is built and owned by us. The one exception we flagged on our call: if V3's AI-powered sales process ever needed a level of specialized depth beyond what's already in-house, we'd bring in a single outside AI specialist to work under our direction, not hand the work to another team. Even that's an unlikely worst-case fallback, not the plan, and even then you'd still be working with us, accountable to us, and nothing would be subcontracted out from under the engagement.

Talk to us first. Being in-house doesn't put a ceiling on capacity, most growth in scope gets absorbed within the existing partnership as we add talent behind it. If something genuinely changes the shape of the engagement, we'll scope that conversation directly with you rather than surprise you with it.
