The mantra we live by is 'simplifying life through innovation', which we manifest in everything we do.
Our mission is to transform authentic ideas into software products that dare to change the way people experience life.
The rapid growth and serial disruptions we witnessed within the last two decades became the new global status-quo. Technology is changing faster than ever and without the right expertise on board, many opportunities and investments can slowly drop or fade away.
Tech and digital versatility are key to any organization today. Startups, medium-size or multinational companies, all need to make progress and step beyond the digital revolution. To accomplish this, we need to collaborate more openly and rely on each other’s expertise.
If you feel like the world could benefit from your idea, no matter how complex, we can make it happen. Our team is qualified in developing full-stack products, rapid prototyping, UX/UI, and digital solutions to enable your go-to-market strategy.
We value authenticity, unity, and vision. Only by being our true authentic selves and working together, we can fulfill dreams and bring a vision to life. At Linnify, great ideas become even greater products. We are up for a tough challenge and delighted to meet more bold innovators. We look forward to seeing your vision becoming reality.

Linnify’s team is a very professional one that goes above and beyond to make sure the end product achieves its full potential. They’re a great partner in this journey. I am ecstatic about the work performed by them.
Catalin Briciu, Linnify’s Co-Founder and Business Manager, went out of his way to understand our business model and the travel industry. He offered us extremely relevant feedback and suggestions after that which was a great help for our product.
They were highly responsive at all times, and they moved fast to get things done. The PM does an excellent job of making both the client and the development team understand each other and their needs. The way they handle their project management is perfect and should be something that each company implements within their projects.
What I appreciate the most is their vision. They have a global vision of what needs to be done. They do not offer just a certain service, but they manage to see the whole picture and incorporate all

We are a small business working with emergency doctors to deliver first aid courses into our community. We needed to educate our clients in order to make them aware of the importance of basic medical knowledge and first aid. So we did, thanks to our professional website and impactful branding. Linnify took care of everything we needed to pass our view through local and national community and deliver our message: logo, style, colours, media, message. Top notch! It really is a pleasure working with these guys. Communication was the key, availability to talk through every issue was delivered, skills to make it happen and there you have it.

Linnify proved themselves to be great experts and professionals right from the beginning. Our collaboration was and still is seamless. I was particularly amazed by their project management team and the way they handled any tasks.
Not only did Linnify help us with the administration and maintenance of our mobile and web application, but they also offered us valuable and honest advice when things should have taken another turn. We now have a successful presentation website that generates an increasing number of users.
Linnify’s people and the way they conduct relationships are absolutely wonderful. It seems that their objective is to please the customer, and problem-solve anything that might come in the way of a product’s success. They got so involved in the project that they seem more like a partner rather than just another service-provider company.
I 100% would recommend Linnify to anyone who has a product and is looking to scale it.

Linnify’s team is a very professional one that goes above and beyond to make sure that everything runs smoothly, and that each project is going to be successful. They were the right choice for us.
The communication went smoothly. One of the things we loved the most was the safety that they offered us. We knew that any issue that might appear will be solved because they have the right expertise to do so. They managed to solve any problem that come up very quickly.
What we appreciated the most was that they came with a fresh perspective, and they were able to see beyond the requirements. They managed to successfully see the scope and the impact that the project will have.
They handled the paperwork in a very efficient way, and any particular new requirements and little bugs were solved immediately. The communication with the PM, Anca Aron, and other team members was a very professional one, while not being rigid at all.
Linnify is definitely the right choice from our perspective.

They’re young and solution-oriented, and that created a good overall experience. I am content with our collaboration. The vibe of the team is very nice. I’m sure that if you stick to not making major errors you will keep yourself on track.

Cons :
- It will be a great addition to refine the follow-up procedure so that there is clarity on both ends and that things are completely taken care of.

Executive Interview
Cătălin Briciu
Co-CEO, Linnify
Please introduce your company and give a brief about your role within the organization.
At Linnify we nurture and grow bold ideas able to shape the future for the better. We believe that technology and innovation can simplify and improve our lives by bridging the gap between science, business, and human lifestyle.
We developed a full suite of services in order to achieve market success for any life-changing idea: an end to end product development and market placement, clean and intuitive design that attracts users and keeps them engaged, software development that combines frontend and backend to make the ‘ends’ meet and targeted marketing mix that correctly positions products in front of the right audience.
As a co-founder and CEO, my main role and focus are to help innovators, entrepreneurs, and business leaders find the most suitable solution for their vision. By working closely with them I learn more about the problem they want to solve and gain a better understanding of their user's needs. Put simply, I am the go-to person at Linnify for everyone who is looking to bring their idea to the market with the help of technology.

Put simply, I am the go-to person at Linnify for everyone who is looking to bring their idea to the market with the help of technology.
What is the story behind starting this company?
I think our story is like a good classic. We were young college friends, full of great dreams who got lucky enough to find the necessary drive and focus to put them into a coherent vision. Initially, it was just the three of us. Our ‘trigger project’ was a delivery app for groceries, which we sold to a bigger developer in the industry who was better positioned on the market. This is how we started Linnify. Shortly, we began to enjoy the process of making things happen and got obsessed with innovative ideas that bring positive change. To be more specific, Linnify started out in 2016 and keeps growing. Today, we are surrounded by brilliant experts in tech, design, and marketing who help us go in the right direction and keep the momentum. Our team is qualified in developing full-stack products, rapid prototyping, UX/UI, and digital solutions to enable a go-to-market strategy. To date, we have launched several startups ourselves and delivered end-to-end outstanding products that really speak our customers’ end user's minds.
What are your company’s business model–in house team or third party vendors/ outsourcing?
We develop end-to-end software products. Authenticity is a key ‘inside-out’ value. For that, our main belief is that we need to build a strong internal team and gather more experts sharing similar values. We really want to see our values reflected on the projects we deploy. We are structured in specific departments. Our approach is Agile friendly and we adapt to each project's needs. Depending on the organizations we work with, we choose one Agile framework or another. We have experience working with the Waterfall model too, even if we strongly recommend Agile. We prefer working in small increments - with multiple iterations and deliverables - as we are focused on high-value delivery management. Developing a trust-based relationship with our clients and constant communication with the Product Owners are essential in increasing the rate of success. Especially when developing complex products.
How does your company differentiate itself from the competition?
Our main offering is end-to-end software products: we pick up ideas and build them from the ground up with a focus on users’ needs and experience. We don't only stay on top of the latest trends in technology and design, but we also build products and prepare them for the go-to-market stage. We go above and beyond from sketching an idea to placement on the right market.
Our main drive is the solutions’ and products’ success and seeing our clients thrive and grow. Even if we position ourselves as a technology development company, we offer a comprehensive business strategy that helps our clients create an impact.
We also actively promote an inclusive and open-minded working style. This specifically speaks to the kind of people we know who align with our core values and it attracts the clientele that shares our vision for innovation. I could probably talk about the outcomes of our projects so far, or the work ethics we manifest in all our collaborations, but I truly believe that the defining characteristic is the authentic atmosphere we create and the feeling that Linnify is really a playground for team play.

What industries do you generally cater to? Are your customers repetitive? If yes, what ratio of clients has been repetitive to you?
Our main focus is to simplify life through innovation. We develop projects which have a meaningful impact in the world, projects that dare to bring change and make life better. We organically move towards Life sciences, Health, well-being, Biotech, and Education. But we also have a strong drive in changing the way we experience life so we look into IT, Telco, IoT, Smart mobility, Security, Travel and experiences and Retail.
Please share some of the services that you offer for which clients approach you the most for?
We offer the full range of services implied by our status as a software company: from concept design, prototyping, project management to software development, product branding, and go-to-market advisory. Our day-to-day clients look for the full package of services.
What is your customer satisfaction rate according to you? What steps do you take to cater to your customer’s needs and requirements?
Until the date we got only positive feedback from the clients we worked with and they rated us with high scores. One of the key steps is setting the scene at the beginning of each project. We establish the main stakeholders of the project and assign a Product Owner on the client’s end to better understand the needs of the product on the market, then we gather the business requirements. The Product Owner is the stakeholder deciding the priorities within each sprint and what needs to be done. On our end, the Project Manager is communicating with our design and development team to ensure the deliverables are set correctly.
What kind of support system do you offer to your clients for catering to their queries and issues?
We like to make the client part of the process. Of course, not in an unnecessary kind of way, but in every stage of the process where their input is key in understanding which way we could go forward. So yes, communication in all its forms we are capable of, is the main support system we offer. We create weekly reports, recurrent demos and collect feedback via meetings and also surveys.
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.)
Fixed Cost, Pay per Milestone, Time & Material, FTE.
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?
The minimum requirement we have worked on was 5.000 USD.
What is the price range (min and max) of the projects that you catered to in 2020?
Between 10.000 USD and 200.000 USD, depending on the industry, technology, the scope of work, and timing.
Where do you see your company in the next 10 years?
One of our 3 core values is vision, so we spend a good amount of our creative energy on constructively speculating the look and feel of the future: the future of the world, where we stand in the progress, what are the things we can anticipate and what is the element of surprise. In 10 years time I wish we could grow into an evolved version of what we are today, but keep the core identity very much alive and most importantly never lose the sense of team unity.
In terms of projects, I would like Linnify to be part of 10 years of innovation: in partnership with clients representing the key industries we have the potential to impact and with at least one in-house project to become a more clear signature of ours.
