# Yalla DevRel

> Yalla DevRel (legal name: Yalla, DevRel LLC) is a Developer Relations consulting firm led by Ben Greenberg, offering strategic DevRel services to technology companies worldwide. With over a decade of experience at organizations including Vonage, New Relic, Orbit, and Arbitrum, the firm specializes in developer outreach, DX audits, team mentorship, developer champion programs, strategic planning, and technical documentation. Based between Tel Aviv and Miami, the firm works remotely with clients across the US, Israel, and Europe.

Yalla DevRel provides end-to-end Developer Relations services designed to drive measurable impact: adoption, engagement, and developer retention. The firm offers ongoing retainer engagements (Advisory at $4,000/month, Growth at $8,000/month, and an application-based Embedded fractional-Head-of-DevRel engagement from $15,000/month) and one-time assessment packages ($5,000 each for Developer Experience, Developer Marketing, or Developer Community assessments). Retainers are month-to-month with no long-term contracts, and assessment fees are credited in full toward the first retainer month if the client continues, making the assessments a risk-free starting point. Checkout is handled securely through Stripe, and clients book their kickoff call immediately after payment.

## FAQ

- What happens after checkout? You are redirected to book your kickoff call immediately. Retainers start with a strategy session in the first week; assessments begin with a scoping call.
- Who is it for? Companies whose customers are developers (devtools, APIs, infrastructure, and web3 platforms) that need senior DevRel leadership without the cost and lead time of a full-time hire.
- Advisory vs Growth? Advisory is strategic guidance (calls, reviews, async access); Growth adds hands-on execution alongside your team.
- Contracts? No long-term contracts. Retainers are month-to-month Stripe subscriptions, cancel anytime. Assessments are one-time, fixed scope.
- Risk reversal: Assessment fees ($5,000) are credited in full toward the first retainer month if you continue into Advisory or Growth.
