[Not a dev shop]

We’re not your grandpop’s dev team.  Standard outsourced agencies will say yes to your every idea, even when they’re not high priority.  This leads to bloated releases that go over time and budget

[Fractional Product Team]

Narrow your focus before building anything. As a fractional product team, we start by defining your vision and sharpening your strategy.  We don’t just say “yes,” but always ask “why?”, helping your dev budget go further and faster.

We combine our intimate knowledge of the latest trends and technologies in mobile app development with a deep understanding of our client's vision to create apps that not only function seamlessly but also provide an engaging user experience.Our agency stands out by offering the strategic value of a fractional product team. This innovative approach unites the expertise of designers, developers, and product specialists to form a collaborative and adaptable unit. By deploying a fractional product team, our clients benefit from a flexible, cost-effective structure that ensures their project is always aligned with the top user priorities without the need for a full-time in-house team. This setup allows for continuous feedback integration, ensuring that the design and functionality of the app evolve with the user's needs and preferences. Our fractional product teams are adept at quickly pivoting strategies and techniques to stay ahead of market trends, providing our clients in Richmond with state-of-the-art mobile app development services that deliver real, measurable value to their end-users.

We decided to go with a no-code MVP after having many conversations with full stack development contractors. Dev agencies were quoting us 6 months and $70,000+ for our mobile app MVP. DreamLabs promised 6 weeks at a fraction of the cost.  They delivered in 4 weeks.

As an early-stage, non-technical founder, DreamLabs broke down every step of the development process into easy, simple terms. They helped with scoping, building, beta testing, and handoff to our team - a thorough process from idea to launch.

I’d highly recommend DreamLabs to any founders wanting to build a market-ready product quickly and affordably.

DreamLabs has been very strategically helpful to the early phases of the Functional Health app. They have given excellent direction and guidance; they have challenged me to think critically in areas where I needed it.

With their services, I have been able to better steer the ship on a good course. I feel grateful to have found them and benefitted from their experience, skills, and services.
