Mobile App Development

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 product instead of the problem. We are here to ensure that does not happen.

Whether you have a simple idea or an extremely complex one, our team at FA can handle it — guiding you from concept to launch on both iOS and Android.

Web Development & Design

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 — delivering fast, responsive sites that convert.

About Us

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.

Dave and Phil, founders of Founders Approach

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 out of reach for most small businesses. Outsourcing abroad, on the other hand, comes with fear, stress, and anxiety around finding the right team. Because of their past experience interviewing international development teams, they realized a huge missing piece was adequate communication. By resolving those issues, they were able to identify very talented individuals abroad who shared the same passion for learning and skill development. 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.
