[Who we are] We use low-code + AI to help teams of all sizes launch custom, scale-ready digital products.  Ship in days/weeks, not months/years.

[Not a dev shop]

We’re not your grandpop’s dev team.  Standard outsourced agencies will say yes to your every idea, even when they’re not high priority.  This leads to bloated releases that go over time and budget

[Fractional Product Team]

Narrow your focus before building anything. As a fractional product team, we start by defining your vision and sharpening your strategy.  We don’t just say “yes,” but always ask “why?”, helping your dev budget go further and faster.

At our dynamic tech agency nestled in the heart of California's innovation landscape, we are profoundly dedicated to providing unmatched software development services in Berkeley and beyond. Our team of seasoned professionals is deeply rooted in the principles of clear communication and teamwork, ensuring that every project outcome resonates with our high standards of quality and client satisfaction. Recognizing the unique technological demands of the Berkeley area, known for its blend of academic excellence and entrepreneurial spirit, our agency tailors software development solutions to suit the nuanced needs of startups, established businesses, and educational institutions alike.We proudly offer the strategic advantage of a fractional product team to our clients. This interdisciplinary cohort comprises experts in design, development, and product management, all of whom bring a diverse set of skills to the table. Such a team is not merely a group of individuals working in parallel; they are a cohesive unit that operates with a singular focus on staying connected to user priorities. This approach allows us to deliver products that not only feature cutting-edge technology and beautiful design but are also molded around the real-world needs and behaviors of end-users. By integrating a robust product mindset from inception to launch, our software development services in Berkeley position our clients at the forefront of creating truly impactful and user-centered technology solutions.

We decided to go with a no-code MVP after having many conversations with full stack development contractors. Dev agencies were quoting us 6 months and $70,000+ for our mobile app MVP. DreamLabs promised 6 weeks at a fraction of the cost.  They delivered in 4 weeks.

As an early-stage, non-technical founder, DreamLabs broke down every step of the development process into easy, simple terms. They helped with scoping, building, beta testing, and handoff to our team - a thorough process from idea to launch.

I’d highly recommend DreamLabs to any founders wanting to build a market-ready product quickly and affordably.

DreamLabs has been very strategically helpful to the early phases of the Functional Health app. They have given excellent direction and guidance; they have challenged me to think critically in areas where I needed it.

With their services, I have been able to better steer the ship on a good course. I feel grateful to have found them and benefitted from their experience, skills, and services.
