@marvin_maendle always in-house too

Pierre-Yves Dubreucq · Answer

For Sweego (launched today) we did it in-house

Marvin Mändle · Answer

Always in-house and don't have any experiences with outsource projects. But I think we are pretty lucky with our CTO. I'm stunning week for week what he is developing, because I'm not that much in development.

If you can in-house then do it. The most limiting factor at the beginning is money. Once you have money you can start outsourcing some tasks and scale

Martha Schwarz · Answer

Always in-house, if you are making a product you need to develop, design and build, otherwise you cant control it
