Apps we built got funded

The founders were once exactly where you are now

An idea, a budget, and a fear of getting it wrong. See how they launched — and where they are today.

Case study 1 — Raised funding

AI Assistant Dating App

Launched in 8 weeks → raised $100K in funding

The dream — Dmitri wanted to launch an AI-assistant dating app, but another agency had quoted him $60K and 12+ months.

What we did — We built and launched the full MVP in 8 weeks at a fixed price, with verification built in from day one.

Launched on time
1,000 users in first 4 months
Raised $100K in funding

“What sold me was seeing something new every week instead of excuses. By the time we launched I wasn't nervous — I'd already watched it come together.”
— Dmitri Mirakyan, Founder

Case study 2 — Fast traction

Inclusive Dating for People With Disabilities

Idea to live app in 10 weeks → 40% weekly active users

The dream — Despina had an idea for inclusive dating for people with disabilities — but no technical team, and a fear of spending months building something no one would use.

What we did — We took her from idea to a live, tested MVP in 10 weeks, with matchmaking, real-time chat and verification built in — ready for real users from day one.

Launched in 10 weeks
500 downloads in the first 3 months
40% of users active every week

“I'm not technical, so I was terrified I'd spend everything and end up with something nobody used. Then I watched real people sign up and match in the first week. That feeling was everything.”
— Despina Mikhail, Founder

Case study 3 — Rescue / on-time delivery

Rescued & Relaunched Dating App

Rescued a failed build → relaunched in 12 weeks, on budget

The dream — Maryia came to us after a previous agency handed back broken code, leaving her $20K down with nothing to show.

What we did — We rebuilt the app from the ground up on a fixed price locked upfront, with a working demo every week so she always knew exactly where things stood.

Rescued and relaunched in 12 weeks
Delivered on time and on budget
Full source code and IP handed over — zero lock-in

“My first agency left me $20K down with code that didn't even run. I was scared to trust anyone again. This time I could see it working every single week — and now it's actually mine.”
— Maryia, Founder

Built in the open

A working demo in your hands, every single week

You never wonder where your project stands. Every week you test the latest build yourself — your feedback shapes the product, and what launches is the app you imagined, not a guess.

Anyone can build a dating app. Not everyone can build yours.

Building a dating app is nothing like building a website. Here's what you get with a team that does this right.

	Wve Labs	Traditional agency	Product company	Freelancer
Dating-app focus	Dating apps are our specialty — 50+ shipped.	Builds anything. Learns on your budget.	One fixed product. Your idea bends to it.	Rarely built dating before.
Pricing	One fixed price. Locked upfront.	Vague quote. Grows later.	Locked packages, paid add-ons.	Cheap now. Costly surprises later.
Ownership (your IP)	You own 100% of the code and IP.	Often keeps the code.	You rent their platform.	Handover is a gamble.
Visibility	A live demo you test every week.	Silence. You chase updates.	A dashboard, not a partner.	Goes quiet mid-project.
Speed to market	Live in 12 weeks. Guaranteed timeline.	Slow cycles. Long waits.	Fast, but only their way.	Depends on their free time.
Architecture	Built to scale to 100,000+ users.	Built for today. Breaks tomorrow.	Rigid. Hard to customize.	Quick fixes. No real structure.
Team	Same dedicated team, start to finish.	Rotates every few weeks.	Assigned, not invested.	One person. One risk.

How we turn your idea into a live app — without the guesswork

A clear, proven process built to remove every risk that sinks most app projects. Here's exactly what happens, step by step, so you always know what's next.

1Free 29-min call

We understand your vision

Before anything else, we listen. In a free call we dig into your idea, your ideal users, your business goals and the features that matter most. You're not pitched — you're understood. By the end, we both know exactly what you're trying to build and who it's for.

2Plan & design

We plan it all before we build

This is where most agencies cut corners — and where projects quietly fail. Our strategists document everything upfront: user stories, system design, user-flow diagrams and technical architecture. Every feature, screen and decision is agreed before a single line of code is written. No surprises, no expensive mid-build changes.

3Fixed proposal

A clear price, no surprises

Once the features are locked, you get a detailed proposal with one fixed price and a clear timeline. Everything you're getting, when you're getting it and exactly what it costs — in writing. No hidden fees, no surprise invoices halfway through. You approve it before we start.

4Weekly demos

We build in the open

After kickoff you get a full weekly and monthly plan with clear ETAs. We design, develop and test in short cycles, and every week you see a working demo you can test yourself. Your feedback shapes the product at every step. No black box. No ghosting. No surprise at the end.

5Launch & 3-months support

We launch you, then stay

When your app is ready we handle deployment and get you market-ready — and we don't disappear on launch day. You get 3 months of free support and maintenance, plus 100% ownership of your source code and IP. Your app is stable, it's growing, and it's completely yours.

Start with the free 29-minute call. Walk away with a plan — whether you build with us or not.

Talk to a specialist, not a salesperson

Yours, completely

100% source code ownership — zero lock-in

On delivery day everything is handed over: the code, the IP, the accounts. Your app is an asset you own outright, free to grow with us or with anyone you choose.

Real founders. Real dating apps. Real results.

Don't take our word for it — hear from the founders who trusted us to build their app, and launched.

“We were initially nervous, but they delivered every single outcome they committed to in their work.”

Sergie and Sofia

USA

“From the initial consultation right through to deployment, the entire experience was seamless. The team took the time to really understand our goals, kept us informed at every stage, and delivered a solution that created immediate business value. No surprises, no delays — just clear communication and a product that did exactly what we needed.”

Maiken Paaske

Denmark

“Initially hesitant, we were blown away when they fulfilled every single promise without missing a beat.”

Jimmy Wu

USA

“We wanted an AI-powered dating app — smart matching, real-time chat, the works — and we'd been burned by promises before. Wve Labs committed to a fixed price and a clear timeline, showed us a working demo every single week, and hit every deadline. The AI matching works beautifully and our users love it.”

Mr. Abdulla Noor

Saudi Arabia

“They understood our vision and built something that truly helps. They really listened, built an interface that's simple and comfortable to use, and added forums and support groups so people feel they belong before they even start chatting. It's more than a dating app now — it's a space for support and friendship.”

Kemah Travers

USA

“Wve Labs delivered exceptional results right on schedule, with stellar communication and highly skilled, dedicated developers.”

Matthew Humphreys

United Kingdom

When we say yes to you, we mean it

We only take on a handful of builds at a time so no founder ever feels like a ticket number. That focus is why our clients see progress every single week — and why our slots go fast.
