We've built React Native apps since 2015. We know what works and what breaks at scale. Your investors will audit your architecture—we make sure it passes.
You need iOS and Android apps. You have limited budget and tight timelines. React Native lets you ship both platforms from one codebase in half the time.
Most funded startups choose React Native. The ones that don't either have infinite budget or don't understand the tradeoffs.
We'll show you exactly how React Native can accelerate your timeline.
Choose React Native if:
These aren't small apps. These are apps that handle scale better than most native apps.
We turn down clients when React Native isn't the right fit. Here's when you should build native instead.
We've built both. We'll tell you which makes sense for your stage and budget. Most pre-Series A startups pick React Native. Most Series B+ startups still use React Native.
We'll analyze your needs and recommend the right approach.
Most agencies build React Native apps like websites. We build them like production systems that pass technical due diligence.
When VCs audit your code, they check if your business logic lives in React components. If it does, they see a mess that can't be tested or maintained. Our architecture keeps business logic separate—testable, portable, and investor-ready.
We'll show you how clean architecture helps you pass due diligence.
We use Expo for 90% of our projects. It's not a limitation—it's a superpower.
You find a critical bug on Friday night. With native apps, you submit to app stores and wait 24-48 hours. With Expo Updates, you push a fix in 20 minutes. Users get it automatically.
Camera, location, notifications, sensors—all work without writing native code. No Xcode. No Android Studio. Just TypeScript.
Hot reloading that actually works. Instant preview on real devices. Share builds easily. Ship features 2x faster.
New iOS or Android version? Update one package. Done. Native projects break on every OS update.
PicklePlay found a crash affecting 15% of users on Friday night. We pushed a fix via Expo Updates in 20 minutes. By Saturday morning, 98% of users had the update. No app store submission needed.
Ship faster and deploy fixes instantly with our Expo expertise.
We use the same stack for every React Native project. Not because we're lazy—because this stack actually works at scale.
Type safety catches bugs before production. IDE errors as you type. Safe refactors. Faster onboarding.
Redux requires 200 lines of boilerplate for simple features. Zustand does it in 20 lines. Clean, readable state.
Why we don't use Redux:
TypeScript checks types at compile time. Zod validates data at runtime. API returns invalid data? Zod catches it. Type-safe end-to-end.
This isn't theoretical. PicklePlay went from 30% crash rate to 0.8% partly because we validate everything with Zod.
Slow apps kill retention. We've optimized React Native apps from 8-second startup to under 2 seconds. Here's how.
We'll audit and improve your app's performance.
Founders ask us about Flutter. Here's what we tell them.
Flutter is great technology. But React Native wins for most funded startups because of ecosystem, hiring, and Expo's over-the-air updates.
Apps with poor test coverage fail technical due diligence. We implement testing that catches bugs before users do.
VCs review your test coverage during due diligence. Apps with <50% coverage raise red flags. We get you to 80%+ so you pass.
We'll set up comprehensive testing that passes due diligence.
One security vulnerability kills your funding round. We implement security that passes audits.
Your Series A investors will request these documents. We make sure you have them.
PicklePlay had 10K users but their app was broken. Crashes hit 30% of sessions. Reviews averaged 2.8★. Poor architecture made every new feature take weeks.
We rebuilt their React Native app from the ground up. Implemented Zustand for clean state management. Built a new Python backend with proper API design. Added Sentry for error tracking and fixed root causes systematically. Reduced crashes from 30% to under 1%.
Crash rate:
30% → 0.8%
App rating:
2.8★ → 4.5★
Users:
10K → 200K
Exit:
Acquired by UTR
"Vermillion rebuilt our app in 12 weeks. We went from losing users daily to 200K active users. UTR acquired us shortly after."

Discuss Your TimelineWe work with 12 clients per year. Seven spots left for 2025.
Limited availability. Book your strategy session now.
Yes. Instagram, Discord, Shopify, and Microsoft use React Native in production. Billions of users interact with React Native apps daily.
Yes. We've built marketplace, fintech, health, and social apps. React Native scales to millions of users.
React Native performs close to native for most use cases. We've optimized apps to 60fps scrolling and sub-2-second load times.
Expo provides over-the-air updates, easier testing, and faster development. We use bare workflow only when you need custom native code.
Zustand requires far less boilerplate with the same functionality and cleaner code.
MVP: 8-12 weeks. Full product: 16-20 weeks. Faster than native because you ship both platforms from one codebase.
