Merixstudio - why is it worth working with us?

00:00 → 00:01

I love the company culture.

00:01 → 00:04

I I love how you treat your developers here.

00:04 → 00:07

And honestly, the talent is brilliant.

00:10 → 00:14

We were looking for a way of getting talent.

00:14 → 00:17

We were struggling to get talent in the UK.

00:18 → 00:21

So we were looking at offshore

00:22 → 00:24

development,

00:25 → 00:27

and we looked at different options,

00:27 → 00:28

we looked at Sri Lanka,

00:28 → 00:33

we looked at hiring freelancers in Europe.

00:33 → 00:36

So we thought about hiring

00:36 → 00:41

our own developers, which as a startup, you know,

00:41 → 00:45

it's a it's a lot of work and a lot of, you know,

00:45 → 00:47

requires a lot of capital to do that.

00:47 → 00:51

We actually didn't look overseas to begin with because

00:51 → 00:54

we were really worried about how the communication would go.

00:54 → 00:58

One of our partners recommended Merixstudio.

00:58 → 01:00

We came to Poznan and we looked at a few different

01:00 → 01:03

development houses.

01:03 → 01:06

Merixstudio was the one that best fit our culture,

01:06 → 01:09

so we chose it.

01:09 → 01:13

We found we were very confident very quickly that it was the right solution.

01:13 → 01:17

And I looked at the approach you're taking.

01:17 → 01:20

I found that you're very, very start up friendly.

01:20 → 01:23

You focus on product design,

01:23 → 01:27

and you focus on understanding the requirement

01:27 → 01:32

better than the other software houses that

01:32 → 01:34

I have dealt with.

01:34 → 01:37

So that intrigued me and it looked like your company

01:37 → 01:41

culture was also better.

01:41 → 01:45

Merixstudio actually approached us as they saw that we were

01:45 → 01:49

looking for help with our design and our development.

01:49 → 01:53

We knew about them because a previous company that I had

01:53 → 01:57

worked with was currently doing work with them.

01:57 → 02:00

And that kind of led to us going and speaking to another

02:00 → 02:03

company and getting a reference of these guys have approached

02:03 → 02:06

us, they seem really good but what's the reality,

02:06 → 02:10

what problems have you ran into and they only had good things

02:10 → 02:13

to say that actually it's not just high quality work,

02:13 → 02:18

you achieve that high quality work by working closely with the partners.

02:18 → 02:21

Obviously, cost is a

02:21 → 02:22

factor.

02:22 → 02:26

Hiring a team in the US comes with a lot of cost

02:26 → 02:30

and resources that as a startup,

02:30 → 02:32

we don't have.

02:32 → 02:36

Every startup is struggling with resources and money,

02:36 → 02:38

so that's no exception.

02:39 → 02:43

The other thing is you cannot find

02:43 → 02:48

the kind of quality engineers that that that you need,

02:49 → 02:50

you know, easily.

02:50 → 02:54

A lot of there's a lot of competition in the US for for for talent.

02:54 → 02:56

So I think, you know,

02:56 → 03:00

Merixstudio allowed us to hire really high quality developers

03:00 → 03:02

at a cost we can afford.

03:02 → 03:05

And it's that not having to worry about the talent

03:06 → 03:09

and being able to rely on it that's the real key.

03:09 → 03:12

And honestly, the talent is brilliant.

03:12 → 03:14

I love the company culture.

03:14 → 03:19

I love how you treat your developers here and I think that

03:21 → 03:26

has a really positive effect on the kind of

03:26 → 03:27

work that they will produce.
