What AgileFreaks does

AgileFreaks is a privately held, employee-owned software development studio headquartered in Sibiu, Romania, founded in 2014 by developers Calin and Adi. The firm delivers end-to-end software development services across the full SDLC, with disclosed headcount of 40-50+ engineers and specialisations spanning native mobile (Swift, Kotlin), frontend (React, Vue, Ember, Elm), backend (Ruby on Rails, Elixir), DevOps, quality assurance, design, product management, and data science. Notable technical capabilities include CQRS and Event Sourcing architectures, GraphQL API design, GDPR-compliant mobile platforms, and multi-platform TV/streaming builds with DRM (FairPlay, Widevine, PlayReady) across Android TV, FireTV, Apple TV, Roku and Samsung.

The company's revenue model is professional services-led, executed through direct enterprise engagement and a Calendly/contact-form sales channel, supplemented by a Founders Program that provides up to USD 5,000 in validation funding with no equity taken and up to USD 50,000 of development plus a full technical co-founder team post-validation. Customer concentration sits with multi-year anchor clients including MGM+ / EPIX (an Amazon company, partner since 2015 on core streaming backend, mobile and TV apps) and the United Nations Global Compact (partner since 2019 on digital transformation, infrastructure, data engineering and dashboards, supported by BCG), with additional mid-market clients in insurance (Reasig), consulting and events. The firm also operates two owned consumer products - the Reasig insurance app (400,000-700,000+ users across sources) and BlitzDraft fantasy sports - alongside a free customisable Roku streaming app template used for lead generation.

AgileFreaks is structured as a flat organisation with internal financial transparency and profit-sharing among employees, and is registered as AgileFreaks SRL under Romanian corporate law. There are no disclosed funding rounds, external investors, or M&A activity; the firm is privately funded and founder-controlled, with geographic delivery spanning EMEA, North America and global clients while operating from a single Romanian hub.
