Our clients hire us as a long-term partner, assisting them with their mobile strategy, market research, user research, design, mobile development, cloud development, quality assurance and mobile growth hacking.

The mobile technologies we use include Flutter, iOS and Android. For cloud solutions, we tend to use Elixir and Postgres. We also have some solutions in Python, .NET, Rails and Laravel.

We are also a UX research and design studio, helping our clients take a customer-centric approach to modern digital product development. Finally, we encourage joint investment ventures where we share equity and revenue.
