Buildfour

Buildfour is a design and development team that turns early-stage product ideas into working software within a set four-week build window. It aims its service at founders who want to launch and test an idea quickly rather than wait months for a release.

What Buildfour does

• Product definition: product managers work with the client to understand the vision and sketch the product.
• Design and prototyping: designers produce a clickable prototype over a few weeks of close collaboration.
• Four-week build: the team develops and ships the application to production, ready for live users.
• Post-launch support: ongoing maintenance, new features and help scaling the product as usage grows.
• Broad platform coverage: iOS and Android apps, web apps, and enterprise and desktop software.
