Taipei, TaiwanProject Summary
Axelerant was hired by a seed-stage tech startup to deliver a time-sensitive HubSpot integration using Python, AWS, and React. The engagement ran from April to June 2022 and involved frontend and backend work. The vendor missed deadlines and delivered buggy work requiring the client's in-house engineers to finish and rework portions of the project; the backend engineer was singled out as reliable while frontend work and code quality were lacking.
Key Challenges
- Urgent time-sensitive HubSpot integration to be completed by end of April.
- Need to expand development capacity quickly.
Project Deliverables

- Backend development
Project Solution
Axelerant was responsible for completing the HubSpot integration, delivering both frontend and backend development. The engagement included daily PM syncs, weekly demos early on and more frequent demos later. The vendor staffed the project with 1 PM, 1 QA, 1 backend developer, and 3 frontend engineers, and worked with the client from 4/4 to 6/9.
Project Outcome
- Project was not delivered on time and contained bugs.
- Final hand-off occurred 6/9 and the product launched on 6/15, requiring in-house engineers to fix and rewrite code.
