Our A.Team is not a group of third-party contractors.They are core members of our team and family, adding a level of expertise that can’t be found anywhere else.
A.Team brought in a product leader, Martin Strutz (founder of and.co, later acquired by Fiverr), to craft the product vision for a delivery app that would create a delightful experience for its small format coffee shops. Strutz then built out a full team to bring that vision to life — creating a beloved app that helped Blank Street raise $25M and rapidly expand across the country. Full Case Study.

Led by actor-host Wayne Brady and ex-Second City president Steve Johnston, FLS Plus is a new venture with a vision to build the Masterclass for improv, helping corporate clients shape more creative and empathetic leaders. To create the vision for this platform, A.Team brought in a veteran product leader to help set the vision for the educational platform, and then brought together an A.Team of a software architect, product designer, and UX expert to bring it to life.

Two A.Teams came together to help us fight fraud and spam to keep the platform safe and give users great experiences.
Accrue Savings Founder & CEO Michael Hirschfield had a vision: to launch a product that would serve as an antidote to predatory buy-now-pay-later products, allowing consumers to save up instead. But as a non-technical founder, he needed a product lead and team to bring his vision to life. A.Team brought on veteran CTO Ambrose Krapacs to help shape Hirschfield’s vision and build a world-class team. Within 6 months, Accrue Savings had gone to market with a game-changing product, signed up key retail partners, and raised $25M in funding.
