Consultancy
M14 Industries gives everybody the technology to build their ideas in an effortless way. Over the years we’ve learned a lot, and also been approached by a lot of people looking for help and advice beyond simply tech. Hence, our consultancy.
Building and launching dating and social apps has been our bread and butter for years. Along the way we’ve been through startup accelerators, built previously-impossible technology, hosted international conferences with the industries’ smartest CEOs, raised several rounds of funding, bought companies, launched a lot of apps, and even appeared on Dragon’s Den.
