HOW IT WORKS

Launch in three stages

From first booking to a full crew — the model flexes with your roadmap, not the other way around.

STAGE 01

Book the first week

Pick a specialty. We match vetted crew from our vendor network and onboard them for a one-week mission.

STAGE 02

Schedule on demand

After week one, book that crew whenever you need them — sprints, sessions or standing time, in real time.

STAGE 03

Scale the fleet

Add specialties or stand crew down instantly. Your team expands and contracts with the work — no waste.

ROLES AVAILABLE

Every seat on the crew

Mix and match roles. Start with one, build a full cross-functional team over time.

FAQ

Booking a fractional team, explained

How the on-demand, book-by-the-week model works — and how it differs from traditional staffing.

What is a fractional engineering team?

A fractional engineering team is a vetted product team you use part-time and on demand instead of hiring full-time staff. With Lunar Launch Labs you book the crew by the week and scale it up or down as your roadmap changes — paying only for the time you use.

How does booking engineers by the week work?

Pick the specialties you need and we match vetted crew from our network for a one-week mission. After the first week you can book that same crew whenever you need them — sprints, sessions, or standing time — and add or stand down roles instantly. There's a one-week minimum and no long contracts.

Can I scale my engineering team up or down on demand?

Yes. The model is built to flex with your roadmap: add specialties or stand crew down at any time, typically scaling up within 48 hours. Your team expands and contracts with the work, so you keep your burn rate lean.

Which roles can I book?

Front-end, back-end, full-stack, DevOps, mobile, machine learning, data engineering, QA, solutions architecture, UX design, graphic design, and product management — booked individually or combined into a full cross-functional crew.

How is this different from staff augmentation or hiring contractors?

Traditional staff augmentation and contractor hiring lock you into fixed headcount and long engagements. Lunar Launch Labs is on-demand: one clear system handles sourcing, vetting, contracts and ramp-up, you book by the week, and the same crew that starts your mission stays on to finish it while you scale on demand.
