Yuliia Koinak
CEO
Visit Profile
Please introduce your company and give a brief about your role within the organization.
LAB325 is a full-service software development company. 
We're a technological partner for startups and big brands in developing and achieving their additional profit with the help of technological solutions. We have offices in Ukraine, Portugal, and Romania.

LAB325 is an ambitious small-size technology company specializing in full-cycle mobile app and web platform development.

With a strong focus on innovation and cutting-edge solutions, we cater to a wide range of industries, including embedded systems, online universities, automotive solutions, and more.

I serve as the CEO and owner of the company, dedicating my efforts predominantly to refining our corporate strategy and expanding our network. My focus lies in identifying fresh avenues for future growth and fostering strategic partnerships.
What is the story behind starting this company?
My journey in the IT industry began with my involvement in the nascent beginnings of the iOS App Store and Google Play.

In 2010, I took the entrepreneurial leap and established ComboApp, a top-rated mobile app marketing agency based in the United States. Alongside ComboApp, I also pioneered Go Wide, a mobile media platform.

Through these ventures, I provided innovative marketing, traffic generation, and public relations solutions to a diverse range of mobile-focused clients.
After making a significant impact in the mobile industry, I shifted my focus to establishing R&D centers and building IT teams.

In 2016, I co-founded DNA325, an IT recruitment agency that connects top-tier talent with leading companies. This experience gave me valuable insights into talent acquisition and building high-performing teams that drive innovation and business growth.
In 2019, I took my passion for technology and product development a step further by co-founding LAB25, a software development company.

LAB25 is dedicated to creating innovative products for our clients, serving as their trusted technology partner.

Beyond the development process, we focus on bringing ideas to life and delivering solutions that align with the latest industry trends.
What are your company’s business model–in house team or third party vendors/ outsourcing?
Our proficient in-house team consists of more than 40 specialists, encompassing mobile and web development developers, project managers, product marketing professionals, and QA. This formidable expertise empowers us to provide unwavering guidance across all development phases – from discovery sessions and idea prototyping to sustained maintenance. Whether it's a straightforward mobile app or a multifaceted, intricate development endeavor, our capabilities extend to delivering solutions of the highest complexity and caliber.
How does your company differentiate itself from the competition?
With our proficiency in product development and marketing, we possess the capability to establish a robust groundwork from the very inception of a product concept. Our understanding of the potential challenges that a client's product might confront during its evolution and marketing positions us strategically. Furthermore, our distinct advantage lies in our in-house recruiting agency, a rarity among competitors, facilitating agile team expansion tailored to the client's exact needs.
What industries do you generally cater to? Are your customers repetitive? If yes, what ratio of clients has been repetitive to you?
Primarily, our emphasis is on meeting market demands and client needs through back-end solutions and mobile app development. Our capabilities are limitless – we've ventured into diverse sectors including Fintech, Health & Fitness, Edtech, Entertainment, and Social platforms. From initial concept sketches, we've transformed ideas into thriving businesses that generate revenue for their owners. Additionally, individuals who have previously engaged with us return with new projects in different capacities, a testament to our track record of success and collaboration.
Please share some of the services that you offer for which clients approach you the most for?
We can offer:
 
  • Versatile Web Solutions: Crafting tailored single and multiplatform web solutions to suit specific needs.
  • Mobile App Development: Delivering iOS and Android apps with advanced features like AI, and ML integration.
  • Payment Integration: Seamlessly integrating secure payment systems for frictionless transactions.
  • API and Cloud Integration: Enhancing functionalities through the integration of third-party APIs, cloud services, and hardware.
  • Backend Excellence: Building reliable complex backend systems for seamless operations.
  • Additionally, we offer UI/UX design, product prototyping, and consultations for comprehensive development and others.
What is your customer satisfaction rate according to you? What steps do you take to cater to your customer’s needs and requirements?
Communication is at the heart of our approach. We maintain consistent interaction with clients through regular team engagement, weekly meetings, and comprehensive progress reports. This ensures a deep understanding of client needs, enabling us to deliver precisely what is envisioned. Our commitment to continuous engagement guarantees that all team members are actively immersed in the development process, fostering a collaborative environment for optimal results.
What kind of support system do you offer to your clients for catering to their queries and issues?
Our team is readily available to provide assistance through various channels, including email, phone, messengers, and dedicated communication platforms. We prioritize prompt responses and aim to resolve any issues promptly. Additionally, we offer regular updates, progress reports, and scheduled meetings to ensure clear communication and transparency throughout the project lifecycle.
What kind of payment structure do you follow to bill your clients? Is it Pay per Feature, Fixed Cost, Pay per Milestone (could be in phases, months, versions etc.)
We adopt a highly flexible approach when it comes to our payment structure, aiming to align with the preferences of both our clients and our company. The payment arrangement varies based on the specific client and project requirements. For some projects, we establish distinct milestones, while others are conducted on an hourly basis. The selection is influenced by factors such as project scope, complexity, and structure. Additionally, we have the capability to provide fixed pricing options based on the project's characteristics. Our priority is to tailor the payment structure to best suit the project's unique demands.
Do you take in projects which meet your basic budget requirement? If yes, what is the minimum requirement? If no, on what minimum budget you have worked for?
Our baseline project budget requirement is $10,000. However, we do encounter scenarios where clients seek to develop product prototypes or MVP versions. In these cases, particularly if we recognize the potential of the product idea, we are open to working with smaller budgets. Additionally, we often receive requests from existing clients for assistance with smaller tasks, such as web page design enhancements, refining app screens, or aiding with payment integrations. To support our clients comprehensively, we offer services at a lower cost, below the $10,000 threshold.
What is the price range (min and max) of the projects that you catered to in 2022?
In 2022, the projects we undertook spanned a diverse price range. For instance, we engaged in UI-UX design for several smaller apps, each project falling within the $3,000-$5,000 range. Simultaneously, we successfully completed comprehensive full-cycle product development projects with costs averaging around $100,000 per project. Additionally, we nurtured ongoing partnerships with clients who commissioned multiple projects, ranging from $15,000 to $80,000 per project. As a result, the total budget allocated by some clients surpassed $300,000, showcasing our adaptability to cater to various project scopes and budget requirements.
Where do you see your company in the next 10 years?
Over the next 10 years, we aim to grow our team size by 3 to 4 times and establish a local presence in key regions, like LATAM with a dedicated developers' team. Moreover, our ambitious roadmap includes a relaunch of our self-product development direction, which is currently on pause.

Furthermore, our commitment to innovation will lead us to introduce several unique AI-based services developed in-house. These services will be poised to enhance the quality and efficiency of our offerings, reflecting our dedication to staying at the forefront of technological advancement.
In sum, our trajectory over the next years positions us as a formidable presence within the industry – an expanded company with a global reach, comprehensive services, and cutting-edge AI-based solutions.
