You know a task your students need software to do. Hiring a developer means commissioning that product and organising the business around it: hosting, maintenance and customer support.
FluentMint partners with course creators, educators, coaches and community owners who already sell to working professionals. We design, build, brand, host, maintain and support the software, sold next to what you already sell.

A developer builds the product you commission
Hiring a developer gives you a direct way to commission your software idea. You decide what to build, agree the scope and pay for the work.
It suits a creator who wants to run a software business and manage its budget. Development is one part of that work; hosting, maintenance and customer support also need someone responsible for them.

With FluentMint, your role starts with the audience and the task they struggle with. If the fit is there, we scope the build at our cost, then design, build and brand the software.
We also host, maintain and support it. You pay €0 to build, run and license, with no upfront cost and no software fees. Ever.
