Nice website, a bit too MVP though: you might want to remove the lorem ipsums from the "how it works" page (https://mvpboost.com/how-it-works/) :D

On the idea, I don't really see what differentiates you from the other million digital agencies and dev shops around the world. I like the tagline "rent a tech co-founder" but it doesn't really appear in your value offering.

And a "meta" question to finish: did you dogfood it? I.e. did you apply the methodology you sell and look for customers and talk to them? Did you build a MVP? (is this the MVP of mvpboost?)

Isn't this what they call a "tech consulting firm"?

And an unexperienced one at that. Average 8.5 years of experience. Wow dude, slow down, that's amazing! You're basically on a level of a mid-level engineer.

At my firm, we start talks of upgrading a regular to a senior developer at 7 years, usually it takes them to the 8th year to get a Senior role. So these guys, in my eyes, just reached a senior position and claim to be top of the line already? Yeah, not really.

Edit: Also the website seems to be an MVP as well. No information found whatsoever about who these guys are, what exactly it is they are doing, what it will cost me etc. etc.

This isn't something to be proud of. Time-based advancement is a lazy, outdated system. Folks have wildly different levels of talent coming in, and develop at different paces throughout their careers. There are much more important factors that "time served."

I like the idea, I think it's much needed. Would maybe position this as a productized service, to further differentiate from other agencies.

I'm flagging this due to the obvious low quality of the submission. There's nothing new here; this is a WordPress template probably thrown together in a day with no real consistent message, information about the founders, etc. In short, it's spam.

Yet another outsourcing company tries to be creative, boring

Your "how it works" page has Latin boilerplate on it.
