Finding a Ready-Made Dev Team?
marshrew writes "We are a small startup just coming out of a period of R&D with IP and prototype code (containing open source, commercial & freelancer-built custom components) developed/integrated in-house by essentially one guy. We're at the point where we want to build out first commercial implementation which will require a handful of developers for at least six months. We really don't have time or funds to go through a developer recruiting cycle, create a practice, get the team "gelled" etc. What we'd really like to do is find a small pre-existing team which which we could form a relationship to get our product out the door and possibly continue working with. We don't mean a splinter group from a larger dev house, but an agile, self-contained team, who enjoy working together and have an existing practice. Geography is not a problem as we are used to working in a distributed manner." Does such an animal exist? What have other teams done in a situation like this?

If you've got a problem and no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire . . . The Dev Team

Outsource it to India. You will find a lot of Indian companies, ready to help you out.
It is strange that nobody post it before, but there is a website where you can find such a team. Rent a Coder (shameless aff. link). You can post your proyect and then lots of developers bid for it. You could also choose a set of developers first and then submit your proyect to them and start a private bidding.
