Questions

What is a takeover job?

A software project that has already started — an AI-built app, a stalled SaaS, a no-code app, a WordPress or Shopify site, or a mobile app — that needs someone to finish or rescue it. Requests to build something from scratch are not accepted.

How much does it cost to post?

Posting a takeover is free. Developers can browse, search and send interest free during the launch period.

Does TakeoverWork handle payments or check developers?

No. TakeoverWork connects people. It does not vet, employ, supervise or guarantee anyone, and you agree scope and payment directly with the developer you choose.

When do developers see my contact details?

Only when you approve a contact request inside a conversation. Phone numbers and emails typed into messages are hidden until then.

Can I post if I can't share the code yet?

Yes. Say where the code is and what you can hand over. Many developers will first ask for a small paid code review.
