Frequently asked questions
How long does a typical upgrade take?
+Most complete upgrades take 4-8 weeks, depending on your current codebase size and complexity. We work in weekly sprints so you see progress continuously. The free assessment gives you an exact timeline for your specific project.
Will my current users experience any downtime?
+No. We use blue-green deployment strategies and incremental migrations to ensure zero downtime. Your users continue using the platform normally while we upgrade systems behind the scenes.
What if my prototype is built with an unusual tech stack?
+We've worked with everything from legacy PHP to cutting-edge React, Python, Node.js, and more. Our team adapts to your existing technology choices rather than forcing you to rebuild on our preferred stack.
Do you provide ongoing maintenance after the upgrade?
+Yes. All packages include months of support, and we offer ongoing maintenance contracts. We also provide complete documentation and team training so your developers can maintain the system independently.
How do you handle sensitive business data during upgrades?
+Security is our top priority. We sign comprehensive NDAs, use encrypted connections, implement data backup strategies, and follow enterprise security protocols. Many of our clients are in regulated industries with strict data requirements.
Why choose founderscout?
We specialize in the tricky middle ground - that crucial phase where your prototype works but isn't ready for serious business. Other agencies want to rebuild everything. We make what you have better.
Technical depth meets business understanding. We've built our own startups, raised funding, and know what investors look for in technical due diligence. We speak both developer and founder language.
Proven process, predictable results. Every upgrade follows our battle-tested methodology. You get fixed timelines, clear milestones, and guaranteed outcomes - not endless hourly billing.
Your success is our reputation. We're building our track record one successful upgrade at a time. That means we're invested in making your platform not just work, but thrive.
