The development partners only have a background in .NET programming. We're worried about this because we may not still have access to this team after August, and the two members of our founding team with development experience don't know .NET. How common are strong .NET developers who thrive in small startup environments?
That said, there are some benefits: the developers we have access to have a ton of experience, we won't have to spend time sourcing external development, and they're charging us roughly at cost for their hours.
Our timeline is pretty strict: we need to have our product ready by August. But we also don't want to compromise our potential for future growth.
Any advice or experiences you can share would be incredibly helpful, as we need to make our decision in the next week.
