About Us Hero Image

OUR STORY

Plan A Technologies is an award-winning software engineering company. Both startups and Fortune 500 organizations ask us to build or enhance hundreds of different types of software products -- financial platforms, games, real estate tech, healthcare apps, marketing software, and much more. Our founders are software entrepreneurs who built and sold several multimillion-dollar tech companies prior to starting Plan A. They were repeatedly disappointed when they hired other development shops in the past, so they decided to create the development company that they had always been wishing for...but could never find.

HOW WE GOT STARTED

5 things that make us unique

1. Our people genuinely know what they're doing.

We are far more selective than our competitors (we hire only a fraction of a percent of our applicants), so we get the work done correctly the first time. We also deeply understand the industries where we work. Our team helps with both the tech challenges and the business challenges you need to overcome.

2. We're available 24/7/365.

Across every time zone, we're there when you need us.

3. We actually care.

Our back-end and front-end software engineers, technology researchers, UI/UX experts, business analysts, DevOps engineers, QA engineers, software architects, former CIOs and CTOs, and PMs are selected for their kindness, drive and desire to do the right thing as much as their technical skill.

4. We're flexible.

We can do project-based work, retainer work, hourly rate work, staff augmentation, or tech consulting. We can give you a one-person team, or a 100-person team.

5. our track record.

We prioritize the health and success of our long-term relationships above all else with our clients. This idea of fostering long-term relationships means we do everything possible to make it easy to work with us. We treat you the way we would want to be treated if our roles were reversed.
