Hire developers for your New York team
New York City is the epicenter of fintech, media tech, and venture-backed SaaS — and the most expensive developer market in North America. With average senior engineer total compensation exceeding $200,000 in Manhattan and Brooklyn, NYC companies burn through funding on engineering payroll faster than anywhere else. Geminate helps New York startups and scale-ups extend runway dramatically: the same three-developer team that costs $600,000/year locally costs $108,000-180,000/year through our model, freeing capital for product, sales, and growth.
6-8 hours daily overlap with EST
From $3,000/month per developer
48-hour matching, 1-week trial

Extend Startup Runway by $300K-420K/Year
A 3-person NYC engineering team costs $450,000-600,000/year in salary alone, before benefits, office, and equipment. The same team through Geminate costs $108,000-180,000/year — that difference can fund 12-18 additional months of runway.

Questions from New York companies
Which NYC industries do you work with most?
Fintech, healthtech, and B2B SaaS are our strongest verticals in New York. We have built payment processing systems, HIPAA-compliant platforms, and multi-tenant SaaS products for NYC-based companies ranging from seed stage to Series B.
How does the cost math work for a seed-stage NYC startup?
A typical seed-funded NYC startup with $2M raised spends 60-70% on engineering salaries hiring locally. Through Geminate, that same engineering budget supports twice the team size or extends runway by 12-18 months — a difference that can determine whether you reach product-market fit.
Can Geminate developers work alongside our NYC-based engineers?
Yes. Most of our NYC clients have a hybrid setup — a local CTO or tech lead plus Geminate developers handling execution. Our engineers integrate into your GitHub, Slack, and Linear workflows and participate in all team ceremonies during EST hours.
How do you handle timezone differences with New York teams?
Your 9am EST standup is 7:30pm IST. Developers cover 8am-4pm EST daily for sprint planning, PR reviews, and architecture discussions. For critical launches, overlap extends up to 10 hours.
What are the cost implications for NYC startups using Geminate?
NYC engineering total compensation exceeds $200,000/year per developer. Through Geminate, a 3-person team costs $108,000-180,000/year instead of $450,000-600,000. That difference can fund 12-18 months of additional runway.
How much can NYC companies save with Geminate?
A 3-person NYC team costs $450,000-600,000/year locally. Through Geminate: $108,000-180,000/year. The 60-70% savings compounds as you scale. Many NYC clients reinvest the difference into product and growth.
Do you have references from other NYC clients?
Yes. We work with NYC companies from seed stage to Series B across fintech, healthtech, and B2B SaaS. Direct references from NYC-based CTOs and founders available during evaluation.
