Project Summary

The vendor provided web and mobile engineering support (Rails, JavaScript, React Native) for a creator-economy app, helping build and improve an MVP. They completed an MVP rapidly (around three weeks) and continued iterating on the product. As of the third month after launch the MVP reached about $50,000+/month in GMV. The client had pivoted from a healthcare social network to a creator-economy product during COVID.

Key Challenges

  • Needed web and mobile (React Native) engineers
  • Improve and ship features for an MVP
  • Lacked in-house team capacity
  • Needed engineers who could execute without perfect PRDs or fully detailed specs

Project Deliverables

  • MVP
  • Mobile app
  • Two redesigns

Project Solution

The vendor supplied Rails, JavaScript, and React Native engineers via staff augmentation. The engagement began with one web (Rails & JS) engineer and one React Native engineer; when the client pivoted they added additional Rails engineers. The web engineer led implementation work against rough scopes while the React Native developer built the mobile app from a clearly specified design. The team built an MVP in roughly three weeks and continued iterative improvements; the client used GitHub for project management. The vendor was selected via founder referral and candidate references.

Project Outcome

  • Built and launched an MVP in three weeks
  • MVP achieved $50,000+/mo in GMV by the third month
  • Finished a mobile app (not launched due to COVID)
  • Launched two redesigns
