Zusammenfassung: Der Mythos, dass YC-Startups immer intern entwickeln, ist genau das - ein Mythos.

Yes, many do. According to our research, 40-60% of YC startups use external development help at some point, especially for MVPs, specialized features, or during hypergrowth periods.
Speed (agencies start in days, hiring takes months), expertise (access to specialists without full-time commitment), flexibility (scale up/down as needed), and focus (founders can focus on business while experts build).
Don't outsource when: 1) Technology is your core differentiator, 2) You've found PMF and need continuous iteration, 3) You have strong technical leadership to manage in-house, 4) You're building highly proprietary algorithms.
Common sources: YC founder network referrals, partner recommendations, agencies specializing in startup work, and curated marketplaces. Personal referrals from other founders are most trusted.
Most start with a fixed-scope MVP project (2-4 months), then transition to ongoing staff augmentation or hybrid arrangements once they find product-market fit and start building in-house.
