The Upstarters

Did not complete the work as requested. Asked for additional funding. Still didn't finish and ghosted me for months.

Whatever you need, this is the team. My cofounder and I came to the Upstarters with a design prototype for our product, but we needed the technical expertise to be able to bring it to life. I spoke with 15 low-code firms, but in the first ten minutes with the Upstarters, I knew this was our team. Nathaniel, Ali, and Sam are phenomenal. Their enthusiasm for each project they take on is real; they invest time, energy, and passion into working through the complex product problems that can arise when you're seeking to make a dream into a reality. From architecting ingenious solutions to talking through simple app integrations, I was beyond impressed with every interaction. The entire team is timely, thorough, communicative, and incredibly pleasant to work with. We would never hesitate to work with them in the future.

We were building a relatively complex app that we knew would require product-oriented thinking in addition to technical know-how. From the first phone call with the Upstarters team, we knew that not only were they knowledgeable about all aspects of how to build our product in a no-code environment, they also proactively considered its usability. We have benefitted from a structured scoping process, linear milestone delivery timetable and every single team member has been very pleasant to work with. We wanted a robust, on-budget development process for a challenging app, went through a thorough process of comparing a dozen of agencies, and are very happy with the results

After things didn't work out with my co-founder, I was looking everywhere to find a way to develop a first version of Garmie. I had explored a number of different avenues - none of which I could afford. I was almost losing hope when I came across The Upstarters and was really pleasantly surprised with the affordable price and quick time-frame. Throughout the whole process, their communication has been amazing (which is super important!) and their support has been invaluable. As a first time solo founder, they didn't just do whatever I asked, but they would push back and advise where their expertise could offer a better solution. I found this to be a really helpful and valuable part of the process especially for an early-stage start up. Most importantly, the app they produced is perfect and I'm so excited to launch, test and build more with The Upstarters!

I can't say enough good things about The Upstarters. My organization (in Canada) was looking to create an app for our month-long celebration of our profession, and we met (virtually) with a few different companies. We decided to go with The Upstarters because they were most thorough during the initial quoting process. We worked with Sam, and he asked all of the right questions - so I knew they would be diligent during the development phase. During the development phase, we worked closest with Nathaniel. He was really good about doing some development, then showing us so that we could approve or make changes before going on to the next area. And even once we launched our app in September 2020, if I had questions I would just shoot Nat a quick Skype message and he would help us out. Our app was clean, very easy to use as both a user and admin, and it was all within our budget. Plus, Sam and Nat were truly nice guys and it was fun to work with them. Oh, I should also add our app was a Bubble app!
