Founders Approach

We discovered Founders Approach after firing our second off-short dev team. Founders Approach is all that we hoped they would be and more! Here's just some of what we love:

- Communication: Let's be honest. The reason most projects fails is because communication is hard, especially with what we call the three language barriers - actual language, development language, and subject matter/industry jargon. The project managers do an excellent job of actually listening to what you're trying to accomplish, exploring the boundaries of what's possible, and coming back with the best solutions. They take feedback well, and really treat their clients as a part of the team.
- Quality: We're not developers, but we've been exceedingly happy with the quality of the product. The team is quick to mark things off the list, and is willing to iterate when needed.
- Transparency: With shared trello boards and slack channels, we love that we always know what's going on. We never question what work is being done, because we can see it for ourselves.
- Honesty: I love that we can have honest conversations with the team. If something's bothering us, we can share it, and FA receives that feedback and responds from an appropriate place.
- Fun: We just really like the people we're working with. We kicked off our project with in person meetings (before COVID), which set a really nice tone and helped us get to know each other. And as two women founders, it's awesome to have other women on the team! The team at FA feel much more like coworkers than they do contractors.

We've just finished our first phase with FA, and plan to continue on with them until we can bring development in house.

I couldn't be happier! FA was very much on top of everything I needed and, truthfully, they knew things I needed way before I knew I needed it. They hit every milestone on time and communicated with me very well. I will definitely use them again.
