Agency Transfer
in Atlanta

Your current dev team stopped shipping. We pick up where they failed and ship in two weeks.

Most weeks we get an email from a founder who is six months into a build that should have shipped in three. The agency promises 'next sprint' every Friday. Standups stopped two months ago. The founder pays a retainer to watch nothing ship. We take these projects. We finish them. Two weeks, $1K–$30K, the work that survived the previous team stays.

The local read

Why agency transfer is hard in Atlanta

Atlanta's fintech and B2B SaaS hiring market is tighter than the headlines suggest. 60+ days average to fill a senior role. $250K all-in for the kind of engineer who can wire Plaid, Stripe, and ACH rails without breaking compliance.

We do that work weekly. One named senior engineer, Eastern Time, overlap with your Atlanta team and your East Coast investors. Java + Spring for fintech. Next.js + Postgres for SaaS. EDI integrations for supply-chain. Flat-price quote in 24 hours. Code in your GitHub from commit one.

Hiring one senior engineer here is a ~$250K year-one outlay and a 60–90 day search. Our agency transfer engagement starts at $1,000 with a first deploy in 14 days.

What you actually get

Concrete deliverables.
Live in 14 days.

No discovery phase that bills for itself. No Figma-only delivery. Every item below is something you can open, click, and ship to a user.

Day 1–2 code and contract audit: what works, what is half-built, where the IP risk is

Day 3 take possession: repo into your GitHub org, infra to your accounts, every secret rotated

Day 4–7 foundation: CI with real tests, RLS lockdown, observability, main-branch protection

Day 8–14 finish + ship: close the gap between 'claimed done' and 'actually working', deploy to production

“Over the past two years, we partnered closely with their team to design, develop, and launch the platform from initial concept through prototype and into a finished production-ready solution. Throughout the engagement, their team consistently demonstrated exceptional technical expertise, strong strategic insight, and a remarkable attention to detail. What stood out most was their ability to guide us through every phase of the process while remaining flexible, collaborative, and highly responsive to evolving business requirements. Their domain expertise was instrumental in helping us shape the product vision and successfully bring the platform to market. In addition, their pricing model was fair and transparent, and the level of partnership they provided made a meaningful difference in our ability to execute efficiently and stay aligned to our launch objectives. Our experience working with Start Matter was outstanding, and I would gladly welcome the opportunity to work with Valery and the team again in the future.”

FAQ

Common questions about agency transfer
in Atlanta

What does the transfer process look like?

Five steps over 14 days: audit + walk-away email script (Day 1–2), take possession (Day 3), foundation (Day 4–7), finish what they started (Day 8–12), ship and document (Day 13–14).

Will my current dev team make this difficult?

Usually no. Most disengage cleanly once the final invoice is paid and the notice period is honored. We give you the script. Contracts we have written for clients survive every transfer we've done.

How do I get the code back if they gatekeep?

Demand the seven-item handover before paying the final invoice: repo ownership, full commit history, every secret in your password manager, cloud accounts transferred, README, runbook, and a scheduled access-revocation date.

Can you finish what they started?

Yes, in most cases. Starting over throws away your investment. We close gaps in existing code. Roughly half the time we keep most of it and ship in week two.

How much does the transfer cost?

$1K–$30K flat-price after the audit. Lower end for projects where the previous team left a clean (if incomplete) codebase. Upper end for full two-week engagements with two engineers.
