Our Verdict

Building an in-house team makes sense once you've validated your product and have consistent development needs. But for your MVP? It's a massive gamble. You'll spend 6+ months hiring and building before you know if your idea works. Use an agency like Webscension for your MVP, validate your market, then hire when you know exactly what you need to build.
