Frequently Asked Questions

General Inquiries

What is Taotter, and who is it for?

Building a startup is challenging. Most founders have a wide-range of things to do (MVPs, testing, advertising, etc) before going live.
‍
In short, Taotter helps startup founders take their ideas from paper to production.

We provide early-stage startups with common services such as website/app development, graphic design, incorporation, accounting, advertising and more.

Once you're ready to grow, we can provide you with advisement and even access to funding & investors.

Unlike agencies and freelancing platforms (like Upwork, Fiverr, etc) our talent is trained specifically for working in startup environments and understanding the specific needs and strategies of each business.

Think of Taotter as a launchpad and support team to rocket your big idea into outer space. 🚀✨🌙

What is a "TAOTTER"?

A "TAOTTER" is your dedicated startup specialist and private project manager.

With a TAOTTER, there's no need for hiring individual talent, task delegation, and management.

Your TAOTTER will do it all for you.

They will also provide you with updates to make sure your project is on-track and on-budget.

In short, they are your main point of contact and your partner in helping you launch your projects.

How do I submit a request to get started?

It's easy!

Sign up with your email here:

https://www.taotter.com/concierge#section_contact

Or, book a call with us here:

https://calendly.com/d/cp25-j6m-m6k/taotter-discovery-call

Once we have your details, a startup specialist will reach out to clarify your needs, estimate your offer and match you with a qualified TAOTTER.

Am I required to have a TAOTTER with me on all projects or requests?

Yes!

A TAOTTER is like a trusted extension of yourself, someone who understands and cares for your business inside and out, and takes care of the tasks that would otherwise give you a headache.

They’re here to handle the details so you can focus on what matters most to you.

What types of services can I request through Taotter?

We offer a wide range of services- anything your startup needs to get started!

We can help you build an MVP (website development), run customer sprints (marketing, design, content) and even help you raise funds (pitch deck, deal memos) and put you in touch with the right investors.

If you have a specific request, reach out, and we’ll match the right team for the job.

Can I choose my TAOTTER and the team working on my project?

Our team handpicks the best TAOTTER for your specific request based on their skills and expertise.

From there, your TAOTTER will take care of staffing and managing a team based on your requirements.

If you have specific preferences, please let your startup specialist know.

How much does it cost?

Pricing will depend on the complexity of your project/request.

Use our Startup Calculator to get an idea of cost here:

https://www.taotter.com/startup-calculator

However, we have found that in order for founders to get maximum value, we recommend starting with a project size that will last at least 2-4 weeks.

This should allow enough time for your TAOTTER to complete most smaller-sized projects (eg, building a starter website, store, and advertising).

In order to keep things as flexible as possible for you, we also offer working with your TAOTTER (and remote team) on an ongoing, as-needed basis.

What is the process for starting a project with Taotter?

The easiest way to get started is to book a call with us via the link here:

https://calendly.com/d/cp25-j6m-m6k/taotter-discovery-call

Once you submit your request, we’ll set up a quick consultation call and guide you through the entire process.

During the call, we'll gather some information about your project, goals, and timeline.

From there, we'll match you with a project specialist (a TAOTTER), provide a proposal, and once agreed upon, the project can begin!

What if I'm not satisfied with TAOTTER?

Customer satisfaction is our top priority!

If you’re not happy with the work, please let us know, and we’ll work to resolve the issue—whether it’s revising the work or finding a new TAOTTER or remote team to take over.

How do I track the progress of my project?

You'll have direct communication with your dedicated TAOTTER through your preferred channel (WhatsApp, phone, Zoom, etc).

We'll confirm your communication preferences with you before you start a project.

Once you start a project, your TAOTTER will keep you in the loop with regular updates and milestones so you’re always informed every step of the way.

Is there a minimum project size to get started?

No project is too big or too small.

Whether it’s a one-time task or ongoing support, we exist because we want to help you succeed.

However, for most first-time startups we recommend a minimum of 2-4 weeks timeline in order to complete the smaller-sized projects.

How do I pay for services?

All payments are processed securely over encrypted communication via Stripe.

We do not collect, store, or have access to, your payment information.
