Deadi

Deadi is a weekly contest site, offering up prizes through a simple game of skill. The job it does: building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

It makes the most sense for companies with a specific process to automate. They are a very small team, 1 to 10 people, which usually shapes who they work with. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

Deadi is based in Boston, Massachusetts. Their site is deadi.com.
