Meet DevBrews

We develop fully-featured marketplaces for startups and businesses to empower their growth.

We provide highly customizable, modular, and scalable two-sided marketplace development for any use case and industry. You have identified a niche with high demand for the exchange of products, services, or information. We’ll help you with the marketplace software to make the exchange happen.

My Role

My passion for communities and network effects combined with my product understanding and experience with building software platforms helped me to specialize and concentrate our efforts on building online marketplace platforms for any type of business. This is how Devbrews was born!

At our company, we have extensive experience in custom software development for online marketplace platforms.

We understand that every business is unique, and that's why we offer highly customizable, modular, and scalable solutions that are tailored to meet your specific needs.

How We're Disrupting/Improving the Marketplace Development Industry

We believe custom marketplace development should be simple, cost-effective, and fast.

Marketplace creators struggle with the infinite trade-offs between price, performance, personalization, and time to market. This is why we created a solution to help marketplace creators and owners effectively create platforms that meet all their needs together.

Standing Out from The Crowd

Unlike the no-code solutions, we will customize your platform to cover specific business requirements or add flavor that will make it stand out of the crowd.

We have developed a bullet-proof UX approach and 99,99% uptime guarantee through a verified cloud provider, fully automated deployment, and DR strategies out of the box. The marketplace is fast, scalable with excellent user experience.

Our Predictions/Thoughts on the Marketplace Development Industry in 2023

The marketplace industry is not new. It’s a growing industry that will even grow more in 2023 and the next 5-10 years. We all have seen great success stories like Airbnb, Uber, or Upwork which have inspired numerous marketplace creators in a variety of business niches.

No-code and one-size fit all solutions like Sharetribe and Bubble helped to democratize this industry helping small companies and entrepreneurs quickly build their marketplaces and test their ideas.

However, those technologies have their limitations and prevent marketplaces to stand out from the crowd.

Within the growing industry companies will need more and more custom solutions to make products that users love and empower the network effects which are crucial to the success of every marketplace.

What word defines the state of marketplace development industry in 2023?

The online marketplace industry is in fast growth.

Having more and more marketplace platforms urges the need for differentiation and scalability.

Why we decided to participate in HackerNoon's Startup of the Year awards

We are a small startup providing boutique products and solutions.

We are constantly looking for ways to make sustainable products and happy customers.

We strongly believe in the network effects and the Hackernoon community is a brilliant way to see the power of this.

Final Thoughts

We are driven by an obsession to make marketplace development easy and affordable.

Moreover, DevBrews is a philosophy and passion, it’s a lean approach to building online marketplaces the right way.
