Background

Introducing FIVE, a vibrant social network and media startup based in the US, driven by the mission to connect true experts across diverse fields with individuals seeking insightful advice and consultation.

Challenge

FIVE embarked on their project development journey with a clear need for a comprehensive turn-key solution, spanning every aspect of their endeavor. From the initial stages of design conceptualization to detailed business analysis, including specification preparation and client interviews to ensure alignment with project objectives, every step was crucial.

The project encompassed web and iOS app development, coupled with rigorous QA and project management, all under demanding deadlines. Introducing third-party chat APIs added an extra layer of complexity, while navigating pivots during development presented additional challenges, necessitating adaptability to keep the project within budget and schedule constraints.

Solution

Wild.Codes Lab’s solution empowered experts to seamlessly connect with clients through both the web and iOS apps, boasting swift performance and an intuitive UI/UX design.

The streamlined payment process, powered by Stripe, ensured transparency and efficiency at every step.

Drawing upon our team's expertise, we adeptly navigated tight deadlines and evolving requirements, delivering a solution tailored precisely to FIVE's needs. Thanks to our thorough and meticulous approach, the MVP proved to be a resounding success, aiding our client in securing over $3M in seed investments.

Such was the caliber of our developers that FIVE, impressed by their prowess, opted to hire one of them for a full-time position on an outstaffing basis.
