Question 1

OK, what is Gosu?

Accepted Answer

In Korean, the word "Gosu" (고수) means "master" or "expert". It is commonly used to describe someone highly skilled or knowledgeable in a specific field, such as a martial arts master or a gaming expert. Essentially, "Gosu" refers to a person who consistently performs at a high level in their area of expertise.

Question 2

Is this a service company?

Accepted Answer

We partner with companies and individuals to build digital products, services and startups. We operate as a product development studio, providing end-to-end expertise from ideation to launch.

Question 3

Why partner with Gosu Team?

Accepted Answer

Our experts have a 10-year average tenure across companies like Flo, PandaDoc, Apollo, and Miro. We've built and scaled products through every stage — from MVP to IPO — and bring that perspective to every engagement. We guide partners toward decisions that compound revenue instead of churning effort.

Question 4

Who actually does the work?

Accepted Answer

The people on our team page. We don't subcontract or hand off to juniors. When you hire Gosu Team, you're working with named senior operators — and you'll know which ones before the engagement starts.

Question 5

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Engagements start at 80 hours and scale up from there. We quote within two business days of our first call, before any commitment. If your budget and our pricing don't line up, we'll tell you on the first call — not after a discovery process.

Question 6

What if it isn't working out?

Accepted Answer

Every engagement includes a two-week opt-out. No long contracts, no penalties. If the fit isn't there, we'd rather know early and part ways cleanly than push through a bad engagement.

Question 7

How long does it take to ship a product?

Accepted Answer

Durations vary, typically ranging from 80 hours to over 3 months, depending on complexity. Most engagements deliver a working prototype, audit, or roadmap within the first two weeks.

Question 8

Where is the team based?

Accepted Answer

Our team is distributed across Europe, with most of us in the Central and Eastern European time zones. We work asynchronously and have years of experience collaborating with US, UK, and APAC teams.
