Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about the product and billing.
- We're a team, not a directory. We manage the engineering, the process, and the accountability, you don't manage individuals. And when we believe in what you're building, we take equity in it. No freelance platform does that.
- The Unicorn Program is our equity-for-service model, reserved for founders building the next category-defining company. If we believe in your vision, market size, and founding team, we'll partner with you at a reduced rate in exchange for a small equity stake. Qualification is assessed through a discovery call and a short diligence process, there are no rigid criteria, only conviction.
- Yes, and we prefer it. Non-technical founders benefit most from having a partner who can translate vision into technical decisions. We act as your technical co-founder throughout the engagement.
- No. Our Analysis service is available standalone. Many clients start with analysis and return for development once their thesis is validated. We don't lock you into packages you don't need.
- After a discovery call and scoping session, most engagements begin within two weeks. For time-sensitive situations, we've onboarded teams in under a week.
- We embed pre-vetted engineers directly into your sprint cycle. They operate within your tools, attend your standups, and report to your technical lead, with full accountability back to us.
- A fractional CTO from Sparkling brings senior technical leadership, architecture decisions, team hiring, vendor selection, at a fraction of the cost of a full-time exec. Typically 2–3 days per week, scoped to your needs.
- Our headquarters are in London, with teams in Lugano (Switzerland) and Tunis (Tunisia). We work with clients globally, but all client relationships are managed from our London office.
- AI is embedded across our workflow, from market research and technical documentation to code review and QA. We use it to move faster without sacrificing quality, and we help clients build AI-integrated products as part of our development service.
