    Who we are

    We work directly with founders to take their idea to market and iterate to find product/market fit.

    We've worked with startups in a range of industries including Crypto, Fintech, Medtech and Healthtech.

    We take pride in being able to build anything - from a simple marketing website to a complex distributed and fault-tolerant system.

    We take a product lead approach to development and the 'why' is important to us.

    We're a small, relaxed company, working with startups to make a positive change and deliver value to their customers.

    Our Approach

    Product driven - We measure our client’s success by our business outcomes, rather than our ‘shipping outputs’, and we align our client’s product strategy directly to their business goals. In short, we focus on the actual value each product produces, rather than shipping and developing features. We allow metrics and data to guide our decisions, without removing opportunities for inspiration or innovation.

    The latest technologies - Our current go-to tech stack for new projects includes Google Cloud Platform, Terraform, Apollo, Express, TypeGraphQL, TypeORM, Postgres, NextJS, and React Native.

    We use the right tools for the job and developer experience is a top priority.

    Why Us

    Grow, more than just technically - We provide an end-to-end product service, helping non-technical startups deliver their ideas. Working with Thought&Function provides all the benefits and experience of working in a startup, providing a great environment to learn the complexities of delivering a product, beyond just the technical challenges.

    Deliver, with a team you love - Ever work with a team or individual that worked so well together you all did better and had a great time doing it? We aim to build these small, close teams, comprising of highly talented and motivated individuals. These teams are ideal for applying to the novel problems our clients aim to solve, by the environment of innovation and learning it fosters.

    Our Assessment Process

    1. Introductory Meeting - This is a 15 min video call for you to explore if working with us will give you access to the right projects and opportunities for your career goals and happiness.
    2. Technical Assessment - After the video call we want to dive deeper into your technical expertise. This will typically be a 1-2 hour technical challenge followed by a 1-hour deep-dive session with our Tech Lead.
    3. Product & Culture Fit Discussion - Finding someone who has a passion for their craft is really important to us. This session will typically be a 1-hour video call with our Lead Product Manager where we can get to know more about your style of building products and teams.

    That's it. We're focused on building teams that enjoy working with and learning from each other, so we care more about your approach than your expertise.
