OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire Upsster Labs to accomplish?

• We hired Upsster Labs to design and build a social media mobile app called Spine. The goal was to create a platform where users could connect easy and fast with practitioners, teachers, attend events, educate their consciousness and form meaningful connections through a clean, intuitive experience, much like a social network built specifically for the holistic community.
• Before working with them, we had many disappointing experience with indian teams that couldn’t deliver a working product. Upsster Labs stepped in, helped us rethink the structure, and completely rebuilt the app from scratch, transforming the concept into a fully functional holistic social media platform.
