You’re losing developers before they hit your funnel

We show you what pushed them away

Most developers who drop off never give you a second chance or even a real email. Built for Devs shows you exactly where they hesitate, quit, or get confused so you can remove friction and turn drop-offs into adoption.

Guesswork is costing you adoption

 

You lined up live demos with developers in your network. You did cold developer outreach. You even offered gift cards. But coordinating all of that was a lift, and when they did respond, the feedback fell flat. Even when you asked for honesty, the responses were polite and vague.

Built for Devs gives you something different. We connect you with developers who match the customers you're trying to win. You get clear, unfiltered insights that show you exactly what's working, what's not, and what to fix next.

"The ROI was HUGE. What we got from Built for Devs was completely different—actionable, clear insights that gave us a real sense of where to go next. Honestly, this was critical to our process. We wouldn’t have been able to get these results on our own."
- Founder and CEO, Deplyr

How we're different

 

Fiona, GTM & Product, AgentQL

"Tessa's passion for the DevRel work was very much a differentiating factor. In our conversations, her enthusiasm for a good Dev Experience and DevRel function stood out. It gave us confidence that she's not only skilled at her craft but also cares deeply about the quality of her work."

Stephen Goldberg, CEO, HarperDB

"Tessa's difference factor is that she shows up with empathy and understanding while knowing her shit really really well."

John Vajda, DX, Deepgram

"Tessa’s coaching has turbocharged my growth in DevRel leadership, leveling up my skills 10x. Her insights have been a game-changer, sharpening my strategic thinking, communication style, and my ability to build solid stakeholder relationships—boosting the value and impact of my DevRel team."

Matt Cano, Developer Partnerships at Snapchat

"..the first thing that comes to mind is that Tessa inspires better than pretty much anyone I know. A combination of her energy, her optimistic outlook and technical depth make her really effective at inspiring people to see what is possible or what could be accomplished by working together with her.”

Alston Cheek, Director of Partnerships, Snapchat

"The first thing that comes to mind about Tessa is that she deeply understands the wants and needs of the developer audience and is able to empathize with them and advocate for them with internal teams. To say another way, she's great at ensuring the teams that build products for developers do so in a way that is developer-friendly and gets at the core of the problem they’re trying to solve. As a bonus, I think she's great at putting all of this into detailed strategy, documents, and plans that are easy to follow and help rally a team behind her to solve."

Chris Lema, CEO, Motivations.AI

"Dogged persistence is what I think separates Tessa from everybody else. The difference is, when she's on the trail for her client, she's going to run as hard as she can. She'll break every barrier and push through every issue to deliver for them. This level of partnership is unlike anything they've ever experienced. If I were talking to them, I'd say, "Listen, there will be many people who can do this. here's the difference you're going to see from Tessa: dogged pursuit."

Our Mission

 

Built for Devs connects companies with their developer audience. We've seen firsthand how companies struggle to understand what developers truly want, wasting resources on features and marketing that miss the mark.

Our mission is simple: connect you with relevant developers who provide candid feedback, so you can build products that developers actually love to use.

Tessa Kriesel, Founder & CEO
