What Purrweb does

Purrweb is a private, bootstrapped software development studio specializing in UI/UX design, mobile, web, desktop, and cross-platform application development for startups and established businesses. Registered as an Individual Entrepreneur in Omsk, Russia (Shulgin Alexander Viktorovich), the company was founded around 2014 and operates from offices in Walnut, California; Ras Al Khaimah, UAE; and Omsk and Moscow, Russia, with a stated team of 200+ professionals and 550+ projects delivered since inception. The client base spans fintech (KEM, Broex, Kaiju), healthcare (My Therapy Assistant, Health Ledger), IoT (EnerGO, Vendify), retail and e-commerce (WAW, Buzz), real estate, education, and media/entertainment, with case studies showing deployed applications reaching 1M+ users (EnerGO powerbank rental across 4,000+ stations) and 130K+ users (WAW discount coupons).

The firm executes an end-to-end product methodology: product discovery (user interviews, surveys, BPMN diagrams), 2-week agile sprints with working demos, cross-platform mobile development in React Native and Flutter, and back-end stacks in Node.js and NestJS. Differentiated technical capabilities include reverse-engineering proprietary IoT protocols without manufacturer documentation (EnerGO), constructing banking-grade mock back-ends that simulate full functionality despite API restrictions (KEM), and integrations across AWS, GCP, Apache Kafka, AWS Kinesis, Shopify, RETS/RESO, WebRTC, Mapbox, and Google Maps Platform. Service pricing ranges from approximately $35,000 for entry-level MVPs to $500,000+ for full-scale IoT production systems.

Revenue is generated exclusively through project-based professional services contracts bundled with design, QA, and consulting. Sales are direct and originate from a website quote request form, with estimates returned within 24-48 hours and a documented kick-off call, business analysis, and contract-signing workflow. Purrweb maintains no marketplace or channel-partner distribution. Marketing relies on an SEO-driven blog with industry-specific guides (fintech, neobank, IPTV, IoT development), a Telegram community channel with monthly expert webinars, video client testimonials, and industry recognition including Runeta top-10 rankings (2025), Workspace Digital Awards (4 wins), TAGLINE (2 wins), Golden App (2 wins), and a 4.9 average across 224 reviews on Clutch, GoodFirms, and Upwork.
