GitStart

GitStart offers elastic engineering capacity to companies that want to get their software development moving faster. The service uses AI agents and a global developer pool to assign and fulfill tickets, producing pull requests ready for production.

With AI agents and a distributed developer pool, GitStart can handle a range of work, including bug fixes, tech debt removal, frontend and backend development. It's geared for teams that have more work than they can ship.

Some of the main features of GitStart include:

• Pull Requests Shipped: Assign tickets and get pull requests ready for review and merge.
• Assign and Scope Tickets: Assign sprint-sized tickets, with AI help translating requirements into full tickets.
• Merge PRs: Review and merge pull requests that have been reviewed and tested internally.

GitStart charges based on results, not the time spent on work. You only pay for pull requests that are merged, which means you have more control over your budget. Pull requests are priced based on complexity and scope, including factors like codebase complexity and the size of the final PR.

The service is available in two main tiers:

• Team: Starting at $11 per credit, for teams that want to ship more of their backlog. Supports multiple instances, spans multiple repositories and comes with a dedicated shared Slack support channel.
• Enterprise: Custom pricing for teams with large projects and complex security requirements, with annual and pre-paid pricing options, deeper integrations with other tools and a dedicated Technical Project Manager.

GitStart is designed to foster a community of aspiring developers who can learn and improve as they work on real-world projects. The mission-driven approach makes software development more accessible and opens new economic possibilities.

The best candidates for GitStart are teams that want to expand their engineering capacity without having to hire full-time engineers. It's particularly well-suited for businesses with backlogs of technical work that need to be tackled efficiently.
