Who we are

At Bold Tech, we are developers at heart - our goal is to build great internal apps for your teams quickly, without compromising on quality or functionality.

We believe that internal tools are the key to scaling a company by increasing employee productivity. We pride ourselves on our rapid work, while still playing close attention to detail, so you can take comfort in the fact that you have a reliable partner to take care of your internal tools.

Bold Tech was founded in 2020 to serve a growing interest in internal tools built faster on developer platforms. Since then, we have built over 250+ apps for all kinds of clients and industries. Our technical team has a background in internal tooling and adjacent services and specializes in building performant internal apps with optimized UX/UI.
