Get answers to common questions about DevRel Bridge engagements, pricing, and approach.
Services & Approach
What exactly does DevRel Bridge do?
DevRel Bridge gives developer-led companies senior DevRel strategy plus hands-on execution. That can include positioning, content, community, developer experience, sales enablement, and measurement. Learn more about DevRel fundamentals in our guide: What is DevRel.
How is this different from hiring a DevRel consultant?
Unlike traditional consulting that stops at strategy documents, we execute alongside you. The work usually combines diagnosis, positioning, content, community, developer advocacy, and measurement. Discover proven strategies in our guide to building successful developer programs.
What size companies do you work with?
We work with companies ranging from early-stage startups to established enterprises. Our sweet spot is B2D (business-to-developer) companies with APIs, developer tools, or platforms that need to build and engage developer communities. For startups specifically, read our insights on why effective DevRel is crucial for startup success and our DevRel lessons for startups.
Do you work with companies outside of tech?
While our expertise is in developer relations, we occasionally work with companies in adjacent spaces like fintech, healthcare tech, or any industry that has a developer-facing product or API.
Pricing & Packages
How does your pricing work?
There are three core engagement options: a Developer Adoption Audit ($10K, usually 1-2 weeks), a DevRel Launch Sprint (from $22K for 4-6 weeks), and a 90-Day Growth Partnership ($30K-$45K per quarter). Light advisory is available to existing clients when the scope is genuinely contained.
Where does light advisory fit?
Light advisory is for existing clients with a genuinely contained need: reviewing strategy, joining a monthly leadership call, or advising a team that already has operators in place. If the work needs diagnosis, assets, DX changes, content, and measurement, it belongs in an audit, launch sprint, or 90-day partnership. For insights on creating effective developer content, check out our guide on developer-friendly blog post structure.
Can I scale up or down my engagement?
Yes. You can start with an audit, move into a focused launch sprint, or scope a 90-day growth partnership. The important thing is matching the engagement to the real problem rather than squeezing serious work into a light advisory arrangement.
Do you offer any guarantees?
While we can't guarantee specific metrics (as DevRel success depends on many factors), we do guarantee our commitment to your success. If you're not satisfied with our work in the first month, we'll work with you to make it right.
Working Together
How quickly can we get started?
We can typically start within a week of our initial conversation. An audit usually takes 1-2 weeks; launch sprints and 90-day partnerships are scheduled around the team, scope, and launch timeline.
What information do you need to get started?
We'll need to understand your product, target developers, current DevRel efforts (if any), business goals, and key challenges. We'll gather this information during our initial consultation call.
How do you measure success?
We work with you to define success metrics that align with your business goals. This might include developer adoption rates, community engagement, content performance, API usage growth, or developer satisfaction scores. We provide monthly reports tracking these metrics. Learn more about building and scaling programs in our step-by-step developer program guide.
Do you work with our existing team?
Yes! We're designed to complement and enhance your existing team. Whether you have marketing, product, or engineering teams, we'll work collaboratively to ensure DevRel efforts are aligned with your overall business strategy.
Expertise & Background
What's Marcos's background in DevRel?
Marcos has over 10 years of DevRel experience, including roles as Head of Developer Relations for EMEA, APAC & LATAM at Twilio and Global Director of Developer Relations at Circle. He's spoken at 50+ conferences worldwide and has built programs that reached hundreds of thousands of developers.
What industries have you worked in?

Do you have experience with our tech stack?
While we're technology-agnostic in our approach, we have deep experience with REST APIs, GraphQL, SDKs, developer tools, cloud platforms, and modern development workflows. We focus on the developer experience rather than specific technologies.
Getting Started
Should I start with an audit or a launch sprint?
Start with an audit when you know developer adoption is leaking but need evidence on where to intervene. Choose a launch sprint when you have a defined developer-facing launch and need the narrative, assets, and distribution system to make it land.
What if I'm not sure what I need?
That’s exactly what the consultation is for. We’ll discuss your product, goals, and constraints, then recommend the right starting point.
Can you help us hire an in-house DevRel team later?
Absolutely! Many of our clients eventually hire in-house teams, and we're happy to help with job descriptions, interview processes, and knowledge transfer. We see this as a success story - you've grown to the point where you need dedicated resources. If you're considering a DevRel career yourself, check out our ultimate guide to landing a DevRel job.
