The digital world is evolving at record speed. Companies need partners that can adapt quickly, understand their business challenges, and deliver reliable products without heaviness or intermediaries. It is in this spirit that BURST was born, a collective of freelancers that operates like a digital agency, but with more flexibility, transparency, and efficiency.
A hybrid model between agency and independents
For a long time, IT services companies and digital agencies dominated the sector. But needs have changed. Companies today seek more agility, clarity, and responsiveness.
According to Numeum (2024), the French digital market is worth over 70 billion euros, but traditional players are struggling to keep pace with new collaborative models.
At the same time, freelancing is exploding: according to the study Malt x BCG 2024, 42% of digital professionals in France plan to become independent in the next two years.
BURST is part of this transformation. We have designed a hybrid model, bridging the rigor of an agency and the freedom of freelancing, to bring together the best of both worlds.
Our philosophy is our 3 pillars
Support. From strategic framing to post-launch follow-up, we guide you at every step to ensure the longevity of your project.
Expertise. Our teams, composed exclusively of senior freelancers, provide a cross-functional vision and high execution quality. According to GitHub Octoverse (2023), autonomous teams deliver up to 40% faster thanks to direct and smooth communication.
Control. You keep control over the budget, priorities, and technological choices. Our transparent process ensures that every euro invested creates value.
A controlled and sovereign technical ecosystem
We have chosen a 100% French ecosystem, hosted on Scaleway, to ensure the sovereignty and security of your data.
Our stack is based on modern and reliable technologies (React, Node.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL…) that ensure quick, maintainable, and high-performing deliveries. If you want to know more, visit the article that discusses our unified stack in monorepo.
Why this model works
BURST relies on a structure without intermediaries. Clients collaborate directly with experts. Decisions are made faster, communication is clearer, and products are delivered with consistent quality.
This model addresses three current issues in digital:
the volatility of projects, which requires adaptable teams;
the scarcity of talent, attracting independent senior profiles;
and the need for transparency, which has become an essential trust criterion.
The report Malt x BCG 2024 describes collectives of freelancers as “the new form of organization of digital work, combining flexibility and operational excellence”.
Conclusion
At BURST, we believe that successful digital projects are fundamentally based on the control, expertise, and support of our clients. It all starts with them. It is this relationship of trust, founded on listening and clarity, that defines good collaboration and enables the creation of solid, useful, and sustainable tech products.
This desire for simplicity is also reflected in this article, the shortest on the blog. And it is no coincidence. We believe that the best ideas do not need grand speeches, only proper execution. Our model is not a passing alternative. It is the natural evolution of work in tech: more fluid, more human, and more sustainable, thanks to the support of artificial intelligence that frees us from technical constraints to better focus on what matters: creating value and human collaboration.
Whether you are at the idea stage, in the development phase, or optimizing your existing product, BURST supports you at every step, with rigor, transparency, and clarity 🧡.
