Growth SaaS Squad¶
This page defines the Growth SaaS Squad offering — an AI-powered virtual team for scaling SaaS products. It is written for product managers, sales, and potential customers evaluating ConnectSoft's squad services.
For teams that already have something running and need to ship more, faster. Scale your SaaS roadmap with a virtual team that ships new services and features every month.
Note
This squad is ideal for SaaS companies post-MVP, adding new modules and integrations. It delivers up to 2 new microservices, 4 feature epics, and 1 major integration per month with a 6-month minimum commitment.
Who It's For¶
- SaaS companies post-MVP, adding new modules and integrations
- Teams that want to standardize on ConnectSoft templates and the AI Factory while continuing to move fast
Squad Composition¶
- 1 Architect Agent
- 3 Developer Agents
- 1 QA Agent
- 1 DevOps Agent
- 1 Product/PM Agent
What We Deliver Each Month¶
Scope (Example)¶
- Up to 2 new microservices built from ConnectSoft templates (multi-tenant ready, event-driven, observability-first)
- Up to 4 feature epics across existing services (new flows, refactors, performance improvements)
- 1 major integration with a 3rd-party API or internal system (e.g., payment provider, CRM, ATS)
- Upgrades to CI/CD, monitoring, and resilience for the services under this squad
- Updated documentation and ADRs for all significant decisions
Ideal Outcomes¶
- Expand your platform with new capabilities (e.g., Audit Trail service, External Config, Notification module) without spinning up a new in-house team
- Keep architecture consistent across all new services
