Listen to this articleDevTeam.Space is a vetted community of expert developers and dev teams who are supported by an AI-powered agile process. Below is our recent interview with Alexey Semeney, the Founder of DevTeam.Space:
Q: Could you provide our readers with a brief introduction to DevTeam.Space?
A: We help businesses to build great online products by enabling them to hire and effortlessly manage expert developers.
Building modern online apps and software projects requires different experts to work together. It is often extremely difficult to find them in one agency. Trying to onboard and to manage individual freelancers that cover all these skills can be equally difficult.
Our community consists of 62 expert dev teams from Canada, United States, and Europe. Each dev team has expertise in a particular tech stack or is experienced in building a specific type of application (e.g. several of our dev teams build only mobile apps). Our model is designed to allow our clients to effortlessly hire expert-level developers and manage them under one roof.
Over the last 4 years, we’ve completed in excess of 150 projects for businesses like Airbus, NEC, Samsung, as well as startups from all over the world. These companies represent a wide range of verticals including Fintech, cryptocurrency, ERP software, Esports, health care, to name but a few.
To optimize the development process, we have a unique software development process that has been developed from data amassed from our last 100 completed projects. This process incorporates Agile methodology and our proprietary project management tools. These help to ensure far more efficient communication with our developers, better management of tasks and payments, as well as guaranteeing a better chance of project success.

Q: How exactly does your platform work?
A: To get the ball rolling, project owners or managers only need to submit a project specification form on the DevTeam.Space website. A dedicated account manager will then contact you to assess your needs in detail and to answer any questions you might have.
Once the client indicates that they wish to proceed, their account manager will assign developers with the relevant expertise to your project. Once approved, we set up the process and get started.
Our AI-powered agile process helps you track developers’ performance, streamline communication, payments, and receive regular daily updates.
Once you are satisfied with our exceptional quality and dedication, you can easily hire more developers to scale your project.
Q: What are the benefits of choosing DevTeam.Space?
A: Building a great product in today’s world requires expert developers, not freelancers. DevTeam.Space is the only vetted community where you can hire full-time developers from expert development teams. All of our dev teams and develops follow exact same development process. This means out clients can quickly and easily get access to expert level developers from any tech stack whenever they need them. Clients can define the terms of employment so can onboard and offboard developers or dev teams as and when they please.
In comparison, traditional agencies fall short by not offering compressive access to all development tech stacks and by sub-contracting freelancers for other important project parts, thus making their clients’ projects more vulnerable to security risks and quality issues. Ultimately, this can spell disaster and lead to lower quality software applications.
Freelancer platforms have already gained a mixed reputation within the software development industry. While many companies seek out freelancers to scale their teams as cheaply as possible, many end up spending far more over the development period due to poor quality code, broken promises, and missed deadlines.
On the whole, freelancers represent low value for money and come with a whole set of risks that vetted developers who are contracted to a particular contract do not. This is why at DevTeam.Space, we insist that all the developers and dev teams that work for our community enter into long term contracts with the platform so that they can benefit from our training program as well as regular work, which, in turn, ensures that our clients receive only the best quality of service from developers who are fulltime members of our platform.
Q: Who are your clients and what are some of the key challenges you’re helping them solve?
A: Our clients represent all industry segments and business of all sizes. Our business model and development process were specifically designed and refined to allow companies of all sizes to benefit from it.
As such, we have been successful in attracting all kinds of clients to work with us. We have worked with large multinationals like Airbus, Samsung, NEC, Disney, who needed complex application development, all the way down to small startups that are looking to create their very first website.
Aside from these challenges, we are proud of just how many companies we have been able to help turn around their failing software projects, which their existing development partner (usually freelancers or traditional agencies) simply couldn’t get right.
No matter what the challenge we are faced with at DevTeam.Space, we utilize our unique development approach, which emphasizes the need for excellent communication between all team members, experienced account managers who are trained to be forward focused, so as to prevent roadblocks while quickly resolving problems, as well as client empowerment via daily progress reports and developer performance data.

Q: What are the company’s plans and goals for the future?
A: Since 2016, the software development industry has recorded an average growth rate three times that of most other industries. This has placed the industry under enormous stress. A lack of developers with the right skills has become a huge problem, as has the number of poor quality developers who are causing projects to fail, something which is having a negative effect on the industry.
We see this problem only getting worse in the short to medium term. We see the results of this glut in expert developers, which has given rise to trends such as Low-Code No-Code, as only being a short term stop gap. This is why DevTeam.Space is going to continue with its model of maintaining a tight community of expert-level developers who we invest heavily in. As more and more companies gain software development experience, and as applications become increasingly complex, they will start to value the absolute need to hire the best developers and development teams. This is when we expect to see exponential growth in the number of businesses using DevTeam.Space’s services.
In terms of goals, we aim to continue building our reputation for excellence. A number of large software companies have completely changed their business model in an effort to try to follow current development trends. We believe that these companies lack the foresight to see where the development market is going in the medium to long term.
DevTeam.Space will continue to offer expert developers and management services for any company which needs to scale existing software products or build great new ones. We will also continue to offer our complete application development service that allows clients to outsource all the hard work of application development to us, a service which many first time startups and large enterprise companies seem to prefer.
