Question
I'm transitioning from working as an independent UX/UI designer to partnering with a developer to design and launch MVP products, I'm curious how attractive of a model this is to those who've launched early stage startups, and if there is a desire or need to work with such firms.
Answer
This entirely depends on the size and funding level of the startup. I find that many don't have the capital to pay for an outside firm to develop their MVP and instead would be looking for an in-house technical cofounder who would work for equity.
Ones that can afford this model are very happy indeed to have an outsourced team to handle everything for them.
