Problem-Focused Design

We help align your vision with the problem that currently exists in the market. A critical mistake many founders make is falling in love with their products instead of the problem. We are here to ensure that doesn’t happen. Whether you have a simple idea or an extremely complex one, our team at FA can handle it.

User-Driven Development

The design may sound simple, but we live in a world where consumers make decisions in microseconds. You need a partner who understands the psychology behind why people use products. Our team at FA focuses early on to ensure we keep the user as the focal point for the project.

In my mind, they’re very authentic people who are open and honest and direct. The project managers do an excellent job of actually listening to what you’re trying to accomplish, exploring the boundaries of what’s possible, and coming back with the best solutions. They take feedback well, and really treat their clients as a part of the team.

Our Story

Dave & Phil started FA in the Fall of 2016 after receiving questions about how to build mobile apps from individuals in their network.

FAPhoto

As startup founders themselves, they had learned about the struggles of finding a dev team and building a product. When it came to launching their first mobile app, they quickly realized there was a huge disparity in the development world. US developers are insanely skilled but typically way out of reach for most small businesses like themselves. When it comes to outsourcing though, there’s a lot of fear, stress, and anxiety when it comes to finding the right team abroad. Because of their past experience interviewing international development teams, they realized a huge missing piece was adequate communication. By resolving some of those issues, they were able to identify very talented individuals abroad who had the same passion for learning and skill development as Dave and Phil. To this day our Hybrid team of US-based project managers coupled with global developer talent helps ensure Founders Approach can bring your idea to life without compromising on quality or value.

Our Thoughts

We are always about sharing knowledge at FA. We believe this world is a lot more exciting when great ideas are shared and we have the opportunity to learn from each other.
