Development Agency Partnership

We partner with development agencies and staffing firms to exchange bench talent, trade qualified referrals, and collaborate.
Book a partner call

Built for agencies like yours

This isn't a client program. It's a peer network for agencies and staff aug firms with active delivery capacity. You're likely a fit if any of these sound familiar.

You carry skilled developers who sometimes sit between projects — and you'd rather keep them billable than eat that margin

You occasionally turn down work because it falls outside your core stack, team size, or contract scope

You're open to co-bidding on larger contracts — the kind that need more headcount or specialties than either of you carries alone

You welcome referrals

Three ways we can create value for each other

You don't have to use all three. Start with what makes sense right now and expand from there.

Bench Exchange

When your developers are between projects, we place them. When ours are, you do the same. A clean, mutual arrangement — no finder's fees, no awkward negotiations.

Result: your bench stays billable. Nobody sits idle.

Mutual Referrals

When a client need falls outside your wheelhouse — wrong stack, wrong size, wrong vertical — you send it our way. We do the same for you. Both sides win qualified leads they'd have left on the table.

Result: revenue from work you would have walked away from.

Project Teaming

For contracts that need more headcount or specialties than either of us carries alone, we bid and deliver together — with defined roles, shared accountability, and a clean structure from day one.

Result: access to contracts neither of us could staff alone.

From intro call to first win in three steps

No lengthy onboarding. No complex paperwork to get started. Just a conversation that turns into a working relationship.

01

Connect

A 30-minute intro call to understand your bench, your stack, and what you're looking for in a partner.

02

Align

We map the overlap — tech stacks, capacity patterns, referral triggers, and how we want to stay in communication.

03

Collaborate and Iterate

First bench exchange, referral, or teaming opportunity gets identified and executed together.



We keep the relationship warm with a monthly partner email — what we have on bench, what we need, and any active referral opportunities.

NDA - Corporate training and compliance opportunity engine

A fortune 100 company had a legacy software system that they used to identify certification and capabilities gaps in their client company's IT staff that was preventing them from being eligible/compliant for complex projects.  This system was plagued with technical debt causing unacceptable down time and bugs for their users.
Teknika’s team was brought on to overall the maintenance and feature evolution regime for the project by implementing development and quality assurance best practices.  In parallel, we did a complete technical review of their software and identified the highest priority technical debt to refactor to increase stability and maintainability.

Grunt approached us in a crisis, their previous development company had promised the moon yet could only deliver excuses - not a functional application.  
Teknika partnered with Grunt to now only takeover development responsibility, but also serve as technical leadership for their company. We triaged their existing codebase and determined that it had so many fundamental flaws that we could build it faster and better from scratch.  We quickly mocked up the application and determined UX flows that would greatly enhance both the user experience and the backend management of the app.  With full alignment on the mockups, we developed a cross platform mobile application and web admin under tight timeline constrains. We continue to support this application.

Agents Paid AI

The real estate industry is notoriously behind on technology and heavily reliant on repetitive work by real estate agents.  A client with a successful brokerage engaged Teknika to implement their vision for increasing agent efficiency and solving their major pain points.
Teknika architected a solution that utilized several AI tools to gather information in an agent’s workflow and process, behind the scenes, serving as a technological co-pilot for a busy agent.
From the beginning, the project was designed for a longer term AI data play that could use the gathered data on agent activity to train and LLM to provide data and analysis valuable to other parts of the real estate industry.

Teknika did a comprehensive UI/UX analysis of their existing application.  After identifying and noting dated or unintuitive aspects of the design, we generated mockups of an improved application with regard to both user experience (UX) and aesthetics (UI).

GAIN

The vision of Gain was to become the most detailed and intuitive repository of startup data. This highly filterable database would be valuable tool for investors, founders, and developers.
Our implementation of this vision started with an internal design competition between designers in our company in order to offer the client aesthetic concepts to choose from. We then did a competitive analysis and UX study in order to create an interface and functionality that was intuitive and useful to actual users.
This responsive web application was designed from the beginning to be “white-label” ready (easily repurposed to other data types beyond startups) and multi-lingual ready.

Things agency owners usually ask us

Don't see yours? Just ask on the intro call — or email us before you book

What kind of development agency is this a good fit for?

The common thread is agencies that truly care about solving problems for their clients and keeping a healthy bottom line.
We all can't solve every problem autonomously, so higher agency companies use partners to fill gaps and keep solutions rolling!

Do you work with dev agencies of any size?

Yes, we've worked with everything from botique consultancies to shops with hundreds of staff.

What if we already have a software vendor we occasionally refer to or partner with?

That's common. We're not asking for exclusivity. If you have gaps we may be able to complement what you already have rather than replace it.

How formal is this arrangement?

As formal as you want it to be. We start with a conversation to see if there's a natural fit. Some partners prefer a lightweight referral relationship; others want a more structured co-delivery model. We follow your lead.

What does collaboration actually look like on a project?

It depends on the engagement. Sometimes it is simple referral and hand-off, or it could be an exchange of bench tallent to fill gaps, or it could be working together on distinct components of a larger build. It could even be a prime/sub-contractor relationship in certain situations.

Is there a referral fee or revenue share involved?

We're open to discussing what makes sense for your business. Our preference is to build a reciprocal relationship where value flows both ways — referrals, co-marketing, joint proposals — but we can talk through a formal referral structure if that fits better.

Do you ever refer clients back to your partners?

Yes, and this key to why we pursue partnerships. Teknika wants to be know as a solution provider, and we aren't experts in everything. If a project doesn't fit us we still try to put our leads and clients into trusted hands.

Do we need to "white-label" under each other's brands?

The distinction we generally follow is the following. If it is a staff augmentation arrangement, then the augmented staff work under the brand of who they are working for. If either of our companies are managing the work of the project, then we prefer the transparency of that work being under the company managing it.

If you've read this far, you're probably the right fit.

Most of our best partnerships started with a single conversation.
