What Netfork does

Netfork is a B2B professional services company that operates as a screened community of 1,500+ software development experts, primarily based in Southeast Europe (Serbia, Slovenia, North Macedonia, Bosnia), with a Delaware-incorporated headquarters in Dover, DE. Founded in 2019, the company positions itself as a lean, founder-led collective that delivers outstaffing, team augmentation, and turnkey digital product development — explicitly rejecting the bureaucracy of large IT services firms. Its core service portfolio spans seven functional lines (AI Native Teams, AI Transformation, Cloud, Cybersecurity, Data and AI, Talent & Staffing, Digital Products, and Strategic Managed Services) and two verticalized offerings (Fintech, Entertainment & Gaming).

The company's underlying technology thesis is an AI-native delivery methodology. All distributed teams are mandated to use AI coding assistants (GitHub Copilot, CodeWhisperer, or Tabnine) daily, with 70% automated QA coverage and prompt engineering training required for all project leads. Beyond enhanced engineering velocity, Netfork offers an AI Transformation service that maps legacy systems to AI-native architectures, prototypes LLM- and agent-based MVPs, and deploys orchestrated workflows using LangChain, AutoGPT, Claude, and Mistral. The company also demonstrates applied AI capability through client work such as Wonder Dynamics (computer vision for automated CG character animation) and Zenegy (Azure-based payroll platform). All activity is delivered through specialized sub-networks (100+ fintech developers, 80+ 3D/gaming experts, 180+ DevOps specialists).

Netfork generates revenue through professional services — primarily hourly outstaffing margins, monthly retainers, Team-as-a-Service and Delivery Unit-as-a-Service engagements, and project-based custom development. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; case study evidence suggests clients save 30%+ on development budgets versus traditional hiring. GTM is sales-led via the website's "Let's Talk" funnel, 15-minute HubSpot-scheduled intro calls, and case-study-driven demand generation. The customer base is enterprise-tilted (Autodesk, Tobii, Conga, Meridianbet, Adacta, Zenegy, Levi9) with mid-market and startup segments (Wonder Dynamics, Zero Waste Packaging, Liveart, Lexplore). The company claims 200 completed projects across 30 countries and a 5/5 Clutch rating. No external funding or parent company is disclosed.
