Client Background

Launchr is a Y Combinator-backed startup building a platform for product launch communities and beta testing networks.

The Problem

They had a validated concept but no product. With 6 months of runway and a public launch commitment, they needed a polished, scalable mobile app built fast — without cutting corners on quality.

Our Solution

We built a React Native cross-platform app with real-time community feeds, product launch voting, beta tester matching, and gamified referral mechanics that drove 340% organic growth through word-of-mouth.

Implementation

1

Built real-time community feed with WebSocket connections

2

Implemented product launch submission and voting system

3

Created beta tester matching algorithm based on skills and interests

4

Developed gamified referral system with streak mechanics

5

Integrated deep linking for viral sharing across platforms
