Testimonials
Founders on Working With Tequity
Pre-Seed to Series B
“We hired Tequity shortly after closing our pre-seed, and since then they've completely taken over our frontend and DevOps work. Typical turnaround is 1 day for critical bug fixes, 7 days for new features, and 6 weeks for entire MVPs. The software we built together is now used by multiple leading American biopharma companies. I recommend Tequity for any startup from angel round through Series B and beyond.”
Founder & CTO, TerraFlow
“The best outsourced engineering help you can get. Genuinely talented engineers who deliver on time, take full ownership of the product, and push back on your ideas until they understand why you're building each thing.”
Founder, Bantor
4.9/5
Average rating across 100+ customers over 4 years
“They helped us audit our product, identify key UX/UI improvement opportunities, and prioritize quick wins that delivered immediate value. The team has been responsive, collaborative, and consistently delivers high-quality work.”
Founder & CEO, Boxsy

Co-Founder, QuantWheel
“We came in expecting a redesign and got something more useful. Design Labs built us a design system our AI could actually build against, so what we ship stays consistent without us having to think about it. We'd give feedback and see it reflected in the next round, often the same day.”
