iOS and Android mobile app design and development specializing in platform businesses, including marketplace, sharing economy, and on-demand companies.

To us, it’s a business model. One with two or more groups exchanging value in some way. Uber, Airbnb, Snapchat, Apple’s App Store—all platform businesses.

Platforms are in their infancy.

Modern Monopolies explains the infrastructure and techniques required to build a modern and successful tech platform business like Uber and Airbnb. The book was recently recognized as an Amazon Best-Seller and has been featured on Yahoo and Bloomberg.
