I'm leading a software development agency focused on fast iterations. Most of our clients are shipping more features, responding faster to support tickets, and have accelerated growth because of us.

Transforming Visions into AI MVPs & Products | Founder @Duty Ventures | Ex {Google, Apple and Amazon}

Hi, I’m Cosmin, the Founder and Lead Engineer of Duty Ventures. 

After some experience as a software developer in companies such as Google, Apple, and Amazon, I decided to launch my project.

With several former colleagues and college friends, we launched our own startup specializing in software development for entrepreneurs and customers needing software development services. 

Duty Ventures is all about developing software products from start to finish, thanks to the experiences we have all acquired in the past years.

One of our most successful services is aimed at entrepreneurs and early-stage founders, for whom we provide an MVP-builder service getting their product from 0 to 1 within weeks!

However, our services are not limited to that. The teams we create do much more than just create MVPs and are able to adapt to the different technologies requested, all of this in an agile way.

Our most recurrent services are the following:
- MVP creation
- Custom Software Development
- Blockchain Development
- Mobile Development
- Checkout pages
- E-Commerce

And our most used technologies are:
- Ruby on Rails
- React
- React Native
- Java
- NodeJS

Perhaps my biggest lesson from working more than 5 years providing Software Development Services is: don’t burn bridges. It’s hard to do it. At some point, you might not deliver as well as you used to. There are peaks, and they are valleys. We need to be able to cross both, since we only have a North Star. What’s important is the process, not the outcome. If you focus on the process, the right outcomes will naturally come.

Now back to my idea: no matter what happens with a relationship, it’s best to end it on good terms. Make sure both sides are happy after moving in completely different directions. Why? Because really, that leaves the door open for future opportunities. This happened to me! Not once, not twice, but many times. Your current project might end, but the founder will have another side project they want to pursue, or they will move to a high-growth startup that could use your expertise.

It’s easier and better to invest in current and previous relationships than to build new ones. But one needs to do both for the best outcomes.

Engineering Teams for Ambitious Founders | Founder @Duty Ventures | Ex {Google, Apple and Amazon}

Remote work sounds simple. Hire from anywhere. Get talent everywhere.

But here’s what nobody tells you - compliance is a minefield.

Every country has its own labor laws, tax codes, regulations. What’s fine in the US might get you flagged in Germany or India.

I’ve worked with startups scaling global teams and seen founders blindsided by fines, audits, or even payroll freezes. Usually because they tried to copy-paste a US process onto the world.

Here’s what I tell anyone building a remote team:
- Never assume the rules are the same. Research each country before you hire.
- Don’t rely on guesswork. Use proper global payroll and compliance platforms.
- If you’re unsure, talk to a local expert. A quick check can save you months of trouble.
- Pay attention to IP and confidentiality laws. These differences can bite you later.

Bottom line: remote work makes geography irrelevant for talent, but not for compliance.

Get this wrong, and small mistakes become big distractions. Get it right, and your team can focus on what matters.

Ran into compliance surprises building your team? I’d love to hear what happened and what you learned.

How to position yourself from the beginning?

I had an interesting dilemma in the past few months. Two years ago, I started working with a client. At that time, my project pipeline was very low, so naturally, I had a pretty good offer to that client. However, as time went on, new, better rates, projects came along, but my engineers were stuck on this client. Obviously, the client wasn’t interested in any major rate increase, even if, in reality, the engineers could do way better.

But I like Amazon’s way of thinking: “Be customer-obsessed”. My customers are my clients. I don’t want to take my engineers away from the client, which would mean a big loss to my client, but I wanted to see how to mitigate that loss. 

What I ended up doing was I simply told the client that I have to give a raise to the engineers since we can lose them if we don’t beat the current market conditions, and they agreed. But I had to wait half a year for that to accommodate their budget. Thankfully, the developers also agreed, so we found a good way out of the situation.
