About Us

Innovation is fuelled by the power of possibilities. A few years ago, it was virtually impossible to innovate because building software needed a degree. It was simply too expensive, too complex, too risky, and ultimately, too inefficient. That\'s why only 16% of projects were ever completed on budget and worse yet, 78% failed.

We\'re changing that. We\'re flipping software development on its head and kicking out the notion that you need to be an expert or participate in boot camps to learn how to make an app. \'s platform lets you order the perfect software app for whatever problem you\'re trying to solve. Our AI-powered assembly line brings together Lego-like reusable features and experts from around the world to bring world-class ideas to life - ANYONE\'s world-class ideas. Building software needs to be like ordering pizza - pick what you want, get recommendations for the features you need and all you have to do is wait until it\'s cooked and ready for you.
