What Mashup Garage does

Mashup Garage is a Philippines-headquartered software development agency founded in 2015, operating from Quezon City with a regional office in London to serve European clients. The company delivers custom software, web and mobile applications, API development, MVP/prototyping, and dedicated development teams to both startups and enterprises, with a self-described 'AI-first' positioning that encompasses LLM integration (OpenAI GPT-4, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini), RAG systems using vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, Chroma), AI workflow automation (n8n, Zapier, Make), and autonomous AI agents. Its core technology stack spans React/Next.js, React Native, Ruby on Rails, Elixir/Phoenix, Python, and TypeScript, with documented production outcomes including sub-100ms trading latency on a crypto wealth platform and 99.9%+ uptime on enterprise deployments.

The company's revenue model is professional services with quote-based pricing across three engagement structures: Dedicated Teams (2-8+ developers, monthly billing), Sprint Teams (2-4 developers on fixed-scope 2-8 week deliveries, multi-year contracts), and Staff Augmentation (1-3 specialists, pay-as-you-go). Distribution is entirely direct via website portfolio, case studies, and referral network, with no disclosed marketing spend or channel partners. Customer segments are diversified across fintech (Earlypay, Active Capital Management), e-commerce (Comic Odyssey, 20,000+ products), event technology (Ticketbase, $50M+ processed for GitHub/Martha Stewart/Facebook), hospitality (Slerp), travel (eTravel), and AI startups (TrustProfile, Product Magic, AirWriter).

Mashup Garage is a privately held, founder-operated company with 11-50 employees, no disclosed venture or private equity funding, no parent organization, and no completed M&A activity. Operating geographies span Asia-Pacific (Philippines), North America (USA), and Europe (UK), with a globally distributed client base reached through direct engagement rather than channel intermediaries.
