What we do

Strategic Advisory & Product Definition

Before writing any code, we'll help you shape your app idea into a viable product. We'll work together to define your target audience, core features, and technical requirements. This includes deciding which technology stack makes the most sense for your specific case and planning how to get to market efficiently.

Rapid Prototyping & Validation

This is where your app starts taking real shape. Our Manhattan-based development team handles everything from clean code to compelling UI/UX. We work in small, focused sprints, so you'll see progress every week.

Key elements include:

  • Native and cross-platform app development

  • Intuitive user interface design

  • Backend system development

  • Integration with third-party services

  • Rigorous testing and quality assurance

  • App store optimization and submission

MVP Development & Launch

One of the hardest decisions a founder will make is deciding who to partner with to bring their idea to life. We use a variety of methods to expose the potential of new product directions, market segments, customer behaviors, monetization directions, and a lot more - that's probably why 12 out of 12 of our recent startup clients have closed or are closing their next funding round after working with us.

Our development process

01

Discovery
Phase

Think of this as your app's blueprint phase. We dive deep into understanding not just what you want to build, but why you're building it. We'll define your MVP, map out user journeys, and identify any technical challenges upfront.

This phase typically includes:

  • Product strategy workshops
  • Technical architecture planning
  • Feature prioritisation
  • Development roadmap creation
  • Resource and timeline planning

02

Proof of
Concept

For innovative or technically challenging features, we build focused prototypes to test feasibility. This might mean testing a new API integration, validating a complex algorithm, or ensuring smooth AR functionality. It's about tackling the riskiest assumptions first, so there are no surprises later.

03

MVP
Development

This is where your app truly comes to life. Working in two-week sprints, you'll see regular progress as we:

  • Build and refine your app's UI/UX

  • Develop core functionality

  • Conduct regular testing

  • Gather feedback and make adjustments

  • Prepare for app store submission 

Each sprint ends with a demo, so you're always clear on progress and can provide input early.

04

Launch
& Scale

The excitement of launch day is just the beginning. We stick around for those crucial first weeks to:

  • Monitor performance metrics

  • Gather and analyse user feedback

  • Make quick optimizations

  • Scale infrastructure as needed

  • Plan future feature development

Technology Stack

Mobile development

  • Flutter for cross-platform efficiency

Our values
in app development

RADICAL HONESTY IN EVERY SPRINT

If a feature won't serve your users or might blow your budget, we'll tell you straight up. We'd rather have a tough conversation early than watch you waste resources on the wrong approach.

COMPLETE TRANSPARENCY IN DEVELOPMENT

Access to all repositories, daily updates, and weekly demos - you'll see exactly how your app is taking shape. No development black boxes here.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT'S AT STAKE

Your app isn't just a project - it's your business, your future, maybe your life savings. That's why we're there when you need that urgent update for Monday's investor pitch or that critical fix during your launch weekend.

SMART, SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

We don't just build apps; we create sustainable digital products. Every line of code is written with scalability in mind, ensuring your app can grow with your success.

TECHNICAL EXCELLENCE WITH A SMILE

Building an app is intense enough - we believe in making the journey enjoyable. Whether we're celebrating a successful test flight or solving a complex challenge, we keep the energy positive and the communication flowing.

Frequently
Asked
Questions

How long does it take to build an app?
It really depends on what we're building. If we're doing something simple like a proof of concept, we can get something out within a month. For MVPs, we usually look at two to four months. But every project is different, and we'll give you honest timelines based on your specific needs during our initial consultation.
How much does it cost to build an app?
For a proof of concept, we're usually looking at around $5,000 to $10,000. When it comes to MVPs, they typically fall in the $25,000 to $50,000 bracket. Once the product starts scaling, the investment will grow based on your needs. It's also important to keep in mind that marketing is a crucial part of any app launch, so you'll want to budget for that as well.
What are the running costs of having an app?
When running an app, you need to consider several aspects. You'll have infrastructure costs throughout the year, potential maintenance costs, and if you're using any third-party APIs or data processing, you'll need to budget for those too. We sort all of this out during the discovery phase, so you'll have a clear picture of the running costs before we start development.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes, absolutely. Once we've gone through the discovery phase and have a clear project plan, we'll set up a payment schedule that works for both sides. You'll pay in fractions throughout the development process as we hit key milestones.
Which operating systems do you support?
We support both Android and iOS, and we can help with desktop apps as well. If you're looking to build a mobile game, we can handle that too.
Where are you based?
We have offices in Manhattan, London, and Prague, with our team spread across these locations. We're always happy to meet in person at our New York office to discuss your project.
Do you outsource development?
Never. Everything we build stays within our offices. Sometimes we mix teams across our locations, but we never outsource to third parties.
Is the initial consultation paid?
Not at all. We're happy to chat, understand your needs, and point you in the right direction - even if we're not the best fit for your project. We can provide resources and advice without any charge.

Nice to meet you
Let's build better digital products and services faster together.
