Tango Agency

What Tango Agency does

Tango Agency is a Kraków-based boutique software development agency founded in 2011 by Wojtek Szkutnik (CEO) and Michał Ochman, with Krzysztof Kulig serving as CTO. The firm designs, builds, and scales web and mobile applications for two primary customer segments: scaling startups seeking to accelerate product development and established enterprise corporations pursuing digital transformation with startup-style agility. Client work spans insurance (Aviva), healthcare and medical technology (Philips, Roam Robotics), transportation (Talixo, Europcar, Deutsche Bahn), telecommunications (Qall), banking (Equity in Kenya), cryptocurrency (BitBay), user research (dscout), and beauty (dashl). Engagement takes two forms: full-cycle product development from ideation to launch, and team extension where senior developers integrate into client engineering teams.

Tango's technology stack covers full-stack software development across web (React, JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js, Python, Golang), mobile (Kotlin, Swift, React Native, Flutter), AI/ML (machine learning, predictive intelligence, conversational AI, edge intelligence), IoT and embedded systems, DevOps and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Google Cloud, Kubernetes, Docker), and blockchain (Ethereum, Solidity). The agency operates an internal ecosystem of 250+ people across co-founded or incubated ventures — Talixo (ground transportation marketplace active in 100+ countries with 1M+ customers and 20,000+ drivers), Kalamba Games (online slot gaming studio with 30 titles since 2017), Kawa.pl (Central Europe's largest coffee platform with 4M monthly visitors), FoodHeroes (B2C food marketplace), and Beans (global B2B coffee marketplace) — which doubles as a micro-fund/incubator supporting partner startups.

Tango's revenue model is professional services, billed through project-based engagements and retainer contracts for team augmentation; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led and consultative, anchored on a standardized process: quote in 24 hours, prototype in two weeks, MVP in two months. The company also generates revenue indirectly through equity stakes in incubated ventures. Tango serves clients globally from two Kraków offices (Przemysłowa 12 headquarters and Krakusa 11), with an active project footprint across the US, Germany, Sweden, Kenya, and the UK, alongside corporate social responsibility positioning anchored by its 2023 selection for the NESsT-led Refugee Employment Initiative with IKEA Social Entrepreneurship and Cisco Foundation.
