ScaleupAlly

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

Financial Cybernetics & Research. I am the President of the company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire ScaleupAlly, and what were your goals?

We partnered with ScaleupAlly to help develop a Machine Learning system that analyzes U.S. Futures markets. Our main goal was to develop a system that could analyze financial securities, and predict future market trends.

SOLUTION

How did you select ScaleupAlly and what were the deciding factors?

We found them through a referral, and considered them along with 15 other companies. This was a tough project.. we needed a group that was experienced and willing to work around the clock to complete it. Also- Good communication was necessary and everyone at ScaleupAlly continues to exceed our expectations.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

They developed a Machine Learning algorithm that can analyze US Futures markets, and predict upcoming market trends. The goal was to create a system that will monitor stock charts using a popular charting application (Ninjatrader 8), Study current & past market conditions, and learn and adapt without following explicit instructions. Once the system has complied this data, it would predict upcoming market trends so that the user can trade contracts on various US Futures markets based on the predictions displayed by the system.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

I've worked directly with 5 key people from ScaleupAlly including the CEO(s) & software developers.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

The results are astonishing.. I can't speak highly enough of the quality of work that ScaleupAlly provided to our company. When we set out to create this system, our target accuracy was around 65%-75%. Over the last few months, are prediction accuracy has steadily been 80%-90%.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timelines.

We've worked with many developers in the past, and ScaleupAlly is by far the most professional, and well-organized company we have ever worked with. Communication: Their communication is fantastic (Especially since we are in different time zones).. I have direct contact with the CEO's, and the developers working on my project. Never had any issues. TImeline: They always complete our projects on time. For every project, they lay out the scope in great detail, and they are always willing to adapt to our schedule.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Quality of work & attention to detail is definitely the most impressive aspect of this company. After completing our first project with Scaleup... we quickly realized that they are true professionals.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

There is always room for improvement in a company.. but I don't have a negative thing to say about ScaleupAlly at this time. They are amazing at what they do.. And I couldn't be happier with the results.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of a new shopping app.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with ScaleupAlly?

Because I only have basic coding skills, I needed an outsourced team to build my app.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

I’ve given them a basic idea and explained how it should translate into an application. They’re doing all of the work for me.

What is the team composition?

We work with four people from their team, including a designer and a developer.

How did you come to work with ScaleupAlly?

I’ve found them on a freelancer site. We worked together on a smaller project, where they helped me put together a few pages on my previous app. I decided to work with them again after experiencing their professionalism. They’re my go-to vendor.

How much have you invested with them?

I intend to spend $5,000–$6,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started this project in April 2020, and our work is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

Working with ScaleupAlley has completely restored my faith in the freelance market. Once the app goes to market, I’m sure it’ll take off.

How did ScaleupAlly perform from a project management standpoint?

They’re very hands-on, and give me their feedback right away. If anything, I’ve been slowing them down.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their professionalism really stands out. It feels like they’re in my head, sometimes. I’ve been misled and misunderstood by freelancers in the past, but there’s none of that with ScaleupAlly.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I’ve never had a moment of doubt with them. There’s nothing I can fault them on.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

My advice is to communicate. As long as you’re communicating your request to them, you can’t go wrong with them.
