Most SaaS founders I talk to are stuck in one of two traps:

Trap 1: The freelancer lottery. You hire someone on Upwork, they disappear mid-project, and you're left with half-finished code that the next dev refuses to touch.

Trap 2: The agency tax. You pay $15-25k/month for a team that's 80% project managers and 20% actual engineers. Half your budget goes to overhead, not code.

There's a middle ground that most people miss: a dedicated dev retainer with a small, senior team.

Here's why it works:

• No ramp-up time. Your dev already knows your codebase, your stack, your preferences

• Predictable costs. Same price every month, no surprise invoices for "scope changes"

• Accountability. One team, one point of contact, weekly updates. If something breaks, you know exactly who to call

• You own everything. Every line of code, every deployment script, every database schema

We built Munave around this model. React, Next.js, Node.js, React Native — that's our stack. We don't try to do everything. We do full-stack web and mobile, and we do it well.

If you're a SaaS founder tired of the freelancer roulette or agency bloat, this is what we built for you.
