Sloboda Studio Executive Interview
Anna Bovda
CEO
Please introduce your company and give a brief about your role within the organization.
I am the CEO of Sloboda Studio, a leading company designing customized web and mobile applications and scaling software solutions with dedicated teams. Our team is highly skilled in real estate, marketplaces, fintech, and healthcare industries.
As the CEO, I have a wide range of responsibilities that contribute to the company's success. These include setting the vision and strategy, overseeing finances, building and managing the team, and representing the company externally.
What is the story behind starting this company?
Sloboda Studio was born out of a genuine passion for Ruby and Ruby on Rails and the will to solve complex business tasks.
In 2010, our founder, Pavlo Obod, decided it was time to create a company that would assist businesses with technical skillset.
We have grown ten times since then, successfully handling more than 200 projects over these 13 years.
What are your company’s business model–in house team or third party vendors/ outsourcing?
We offer outsourcing services to our clients. Our engineers work on a contractor’s basis receiving our company’s benefits like paid sick leaves, vacations, internal and external learning, etc.
How does your company differentiate itself from the competition?
We are highly focused on the client’s success, providing the project with our support and expertise. We’ve been on the market for more than 13 years and encountered many challenges along the way. This valuable experience we use to solve our clients' challenges, both technical and business.
What industries do you generally cater to? Are your customers repetitive? If yes, what ratio of clients has been repetitive to you?
Our company works with various industries, including Real Estate, E-commerce, FinTech, HealthTech, MarTech, and Hospitality.
Many of our clients come back to work with us, some with new projects, some with previous ones. On average, 1-2 clients return every other month to continue working on the product.
Please share some of the services that you offer for which clients approach you the most for?
Usually, customers approach us with 2 different requests - custom product development and team augmentation. Each request has different people and types of services involved.
For example, product development involves services like UI/UX design, front-end and back-end services, DevOps, and account management.
For team augmentation, depending on the scale, it’s often some narrow technical experts, like in Ruby on Rails, Django, Java, React.js, ChatGPT, and OpenAI, etc.
What is your customer satisfaction rate according to you? What steps do you take to cater to your customer’s needs and requirements?
We have a high customer satisfaction rate, which we evaluate every 6 months. Also, our customers leave their honest reviews on different rating websites like GoodFirms.
As for the steps, each project has a dedicated account manager who oversees projects and finds out customers’ needs.
What kind of support system do you offer to your clients for catering to their queries and issues?
Sloboda Studio pairs each client with expert account managers and offers swift technical support, flexible communication, and an extensive resource center for seamless operations.
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 have a T&M (Times and Materials) engagement model, which means that the client pays for the hours a team spends on a particular set of tasks. The billing happens monthly.
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?
Each project varies, and so is the budget. The minimum budget for product development starts from $50,000 and for staff augmentation - $25,000.
What is the price range (min and max) of the projects that you catered to in 2022?
The minimum budget was $25,000 and the maximum was $100,000.
Where do you see your company in the next 10 years?
We will be a leading global software development and design company in ten years that works with Fortune 500 companies. It participates in volunteering work and sustainability efforts by working with clients who care about our environmental, social and political ecosystem.
Our company goals include the following:
- Expanding our client base
