FAQ
Everything you need to know about working with Roadshow Creative. Can't find what you're looking for? Let's talk.
What is embedded technical leadership?
Embedded technical leadership means we work as an extension of your team—not as an outside vendor. We provide strategic technical guidance, architecture decisions, code standards, and hands-on development alongside your team. Ideal for agencies building AI products or founders moving fast without a full-time CTO.
How is Roadshow Creative different from hiring a full-time engineer?
We combine the strategic focus of a CTO with hands-on agentic engineering. Unlike a full-time hire, you get immediate expertise, flexibility in engagement, and no overhead costs. We're aligned with your timeline and can scale up or down as needed.
What's included in the technical leadership service?
Technical leadership includes architecture design, code review, mentoring your team, setting up development processes, technology stack recommendations, and hands-on development. We ensure your product is built to scale from day one.
How long does SaaS MVP development typically take?
In the past, developing MVPs could take 6–12 weeks, depending on complexity. Today, with agentic engineering, we can deliver them significantly faster—usually in half the time or less. Our focus is on swiftly shipping the core value proposition, validating with users, and iterating based on feedback. This speed is intentional: move fast, learn from users, and refine the product.
Do you work with non-technical founders?
Yes. We translate technical concepts into business outcomes. We'll explain architecture, costs, timelines, and trade-offs in terms that make sense for your business, not just technical jargon.
What tech stack do you recommend?
Our stack — Next.js, TypeScript, React, and PostgreSQL — has been refined over 15 years so your project starts on solid ground and scales effectively. We layer in Agentic Engineering from day one, using AI-driven automation to move faster and adapt as your needs evolve. Battle-tested tools, thriving communities behind them, and always scoped to what actually fits your project — no bloat, no dogma.
How do you handle AI agent integration?
Agentic engineering is our specialty. We design AI workflows that think, plan, and execute autonomously. From LLM integration to multi-step reasoning, we build systems that handle complex tasks reliably.
Can you scale with our team as we grow?
Absolutely. We start embedded with your core product decisions and scale to cover more surface area as you grow—frontend, backend, infrastructure, DevOps. We set up processes so your team can build independently.
What's your typical engagement model?
We work month-to-month or project-based. Most engagements start at 20-40 hours/week and adjust based on needs. We're flexible—whether you need full-time focus or strategic input a few hours a week.
How do you approach design and engineering collaboration?
Design and engineering aren't separate—they're one process. We work directly with your design team to understand the vision, then build interfaces that are both beautiful and performant. Pixel-precise, scalable, accessible.
Do you take equity or revenue share?
We work on time-based engagement. Some early-stage founders propose equity conversations separately—that's something we discuss individually. Primary model is straightforward hourly/project rates.
How do you stay current with AI and new technologies?
Continuous learning is built in. We experiment, ship side projects, and integrate what works into client projects. 15+ years means we've seen trends come and go—we focus on fundamentals + pragmatic innovation.
