All IT companies started as small and wanted to become big. But founder usually struggles to get *Right Business monthly (The work they love, The price they want to charge). We are building a solution to solve the following problems

This is how it looked when we released it first.

1. Barber can’t do carpenter work :

Most of the companies are domain expert, but no one says No to any new business, the result is they fuck-up in delivery. What If IT companies will get enough business of similar experience?

eg: Vinfotech has built Lenskart (5 MN+ Users), Snapdeal (Acquired by e-Commerce Giant Flipkart), they are more qualified compare to any other company for building an e-commerce website.

What if they get all e-Commerce project. If they can build two successful e-commerce products they can build 100 more, They can suggest what else a customer can add in their idea to make it more worthy.

Most of the companies are specialized in the domain (chatting app or dating app or CRM or WordPress) If they get similar nature of work, they can deliver fast because their developer understands term and business, they have solved many business logic problems. They have enough portfolio to prove their credibility.

Similar kind of projects are usually profitable and leave the customer satisfied.

This platform will help you to get a similar kind of business, also will help customers to choose the right partner for their business.
eg:
Trustable Chatting App development companies
Verified E-commerce App development companies.

2. Tell the world you are trustable

90% satisfied customers don’t leave a review.
8/10 unsatisfied customers leave the bad review.
99% of online customer buys after reading reviews.

What if you have no reviews, What if your negative reviews are coming on top than your positive reviews.

Small IT agencies are usually started by the developer, Even though they want but they don’t know how to get reviews with satisfied customers.

Companies like Clutch, GoodFirm asks 15–20 questions to submit reviews. Most of the big customers are busy customers, they don’t have enough time to leave reviews.

The result is; Even though you got some reviews with new entrepreneur but no one knows him. You kept your Upwork or Freelancer profile hidden because you don’t want to show your prices to the new customers but there is no way to get your good reviews out.

We are curating all your reviews from a different platform (GoodFirm, Clutch, Facebook, Google Business, Upwork, Freelancer), suggest more.

All your reviews will be displayed in a single window, with Zero effort. You can also embed same reviews on your website pages and tell the world, You are trustable.
