Highlights from the past quarter
Delivering real value to hyperscalers
One of our biggest achievements this past quarter was delivering meaningful value to growth-stage startups. We supported three companies, each having raised tens of millions or generated hundreds of millions in ARR across fintech, health tech, and cybersecurity. In all cases, we earned the trust to shape product strategy and design, and deployed large teams of 10+ people who owned major portions of the delivery. Post-Series B startups, under pressure to achieve aggressive product growth targets, have become our sweet spot.
Record team satisfaction
We aim to be the #1 choice for clients building software, and that starts with our team. Alongside performance metrics, we track team happiness on a quarterly basis. In Q2, we hit a record-high score of 8.83/10, the highest since we began tracking in 2022.
Growth cycle in H1
We grew by 25% in the first half of the year, while maintaining our high standards for talent. We added senior leaders with proven track records and welcomed bright rising stars with big potential. In H2, we plan to cap growth to ensure we continue delivering top-tier quality.
