How It Works
From Slack message to shipping in 7 days.
You tell us what's piling up. We match a Pod. They ship from campus while you build product.
01

Send your stack + top tasks

We give you a template. Tech stack, 3–5 tasks from your backlog, timeline. Takes 60 seconds.

02

Pick from ranked profiles

3–5 competition-ranked candidates with portfolios and performance data. You interview. You approve.

03

Pod ships from campus

Kickoff call. Weekly cadence set. Pod Coordinator runs everything. Pod Report every Friday.

For Startups
Your backlog is growing. Your team is maxed. Add a Pod.
You don't need another full-time hire. You need an Intern Pod: 1–3 competition-ranked interns or graduates + a Pod Coordinator, clearing your backlog weekly. From €200/week per person.

😤 Your challenges

  • You're a 5-person startup paying agency rates for a junior dev
  • Upwork freelancers ghost after week 2. No accountability.
  • You don't have 6 weeks for a recruiting funnel. You need output now.
  • Last time you hired an intern, YOU became the manager
  • "Remote interns" means someone in a bedroom with spotty wifi

→ How Blue Ox solves it

  • €200/week per Pod member. Your Berlin contractor charges that for 4 hours. A Pod gives you 40.
  • Competition-ranked every Saturday. You pick from the top 10% or 20%.
  • Campus-based: 100 Mbps fibre, generators, Pod Coordinator on-site.
  • Pod Coordinator handles blockers before they hit your Slack.
  • Every Friday: Pod Report. Tasks shipped. Blockers. Next week.
