SaaS Development Services
MetaProject provides SaaS development services for B2B and product companies at the inflection point between $5M and $50M ARR. Revenue grows 30–50% a year and headcount grows too, but feature delivery doesn't keep up.
The honest answer is rarely "more engineers." It's a different operating model: clearer service boundaries, a proper internal platform, a Centre of Excellence that owns architectural decisions, and an engineering practice that scales with the business instead of being rebuilt every time a senior leader changes. That's the engagement we run, embedded alongside your team, with knowledge transfer as a deliverable.
Who we work with
What makes engineering here different
What we build
How we work
Co-execution
We take the critical scope and build it in your repos, alongside your team.
Transition
Your team leads the work. We mentor and codify what works.
Self-sufficiency
Your team owns the practice. We step back to strategic counsel.
A typical engagement runs 9–14 months. For org design plus platform plus initial CoE work, the longer end is normal. More: Delivery as Training.

SaaS development FAQ
A SaaS MVP with multi-tenancy, auth and billing typically costs $80k–$200k over 4–6 months. A v1 ready for enterprise buyers, with SSO, audit logs and SOC 2 readiness, costs $200k–$500k over 6–12 months.
Most engagements land in the 30–150 engineer range, at $5M–$50M ARR. Earlier, the constraint is usually product-market fit; later, large enterprises need governance and consolidation. The real signal is the feeling that the structures that got you here won't scale further.
Not instead. Alongside. A strong VP is necessary and we're not a replacement. We add a senior team doing architectural and platform work in parallel with the VP's org and people work, and we transfer that capability to internal owners. Several engagements start right after a VP hire, to give them a foundation.
No. Staff augmentation drops engineers in to do work you direct. It's a legitimate model, just not ours. We lead architectural and operating-model work and end with your team owning the practice. Poor fit if you want hands without judgement; good fit if you want architects whose job is to make themselves unnecessary.
No, by design. The transition timeline is set at kickoff, documentation lives in your repos from day one, the CoE is built from your engineers, and the skills matrix is verified before we step back. See Exit by Design.
Yes. Teams preparing for one (usually SOC 2) benefit from architecting for several at once, since controls overlap across SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, and PCI-DSS. See DevSecOps Consulting.
