[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.

Our tech agency, nestled in the vibrant city of Santa Monica, California, stands at the forefront of innovative software development services. With our fingers on the pulse of the latest technologies and trends, we specialize in crafting bespoke software solutions that cater to the unique needs of businesses both large and small. Our dedication to clear and transparent communication ensures that our clients are not just spectators but active participants in the software development journey.At the core of our service offerings is the strategic value of our fractional product teams. By integrating this model, we blend the prowess of expert designers, developers, and product managers to forge a unit attuned to the evolving priorities of users. These cross-functional teams offer scalability and flexibility, providing the same skill sets and expertise as in-house teams but with the ability to adjust to the varying demands of project cycles swiftly. By choosing our agency, you're opting for a collaborative partner who appreciates the nuances of software development in Santa Monica and who can seamlessly integrate into your business ecosystem to deliver exceptional results.

[What we do] Ship a digital product in 6 weeks, not 6 months..

At our software agency, we specialize in providing top-tier software development services catered to the dynamic needs of businesses in Santa Monica.

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.
