Project Solution

NeuroSYS took the client from idea to production: they provided a project manager, organized the development team, and built the application from scratch. They developed native iOS and Android apps plus the backend systems, and implemented an engine that recognizes mathematical symbols from photos and explains step-by-step solutions, including graphical explanations. They also supported the client with initial cost estimates and staged funding guidance for the startup.

Project Outcome

The project exceeded the client's expectations and was described as absolutely successful.
Rapid user growth within three to four months forced the client to pause Facebook marketing due to content costs.
The client secured a first-round investor after one year on the Google Play Store.
The client projects around 200,000 users within the next year with continued vendor partnership.
