How we got here

We are engineering, product, project management and workforce operations experts (and geeks).

We started UpTeam® as a technical consultancy, following years of hands-on experience at leading US and international companies, shipping globally acclaimed products.

Since then, we’ve led and served on lots of teams. We’ve built and shipped a lot of production code for successful (and unsuccessful) technology startups. We’ve seen some company executives and their global development teams thrive, while others failed. Some businesses took off, some sank. We saw that none of them succeeded without a dedicated focus on teamwork.

That was our ‘Aha!’ moment

For distributed software teams and the engineers who join them, real acceleration takes more than urgency and enthusiasm.

At UpTeam®, we offer a different kind of accelerator. Our focus is in combining hands-on software expertise, smart engineers passionate about making cool stuff work better, and well-organized technical leadership.

We give startups of all sizes the freedom to pursue the product vision that delights their customers and rewards their investors.
