[ 03 ]In their words

Founders onthe crew.

King Tide built BuzzStar from the ground up alongside us. They designed the product, wrote the code, and were in the trenches with us through fundraising. It felt less like hiring a studio and more like gaining a founding team.

Andrew BachmanCEO, BuzzStar

From concept to launch, King Tide handled everything: product design, engineering, even helping us prep for our raise. They embedded with our team and brought the kind of ownership you rarely see from an outside partner. KIIWI wouldn’t exist without them.

Dave GardenCEO, KIIWI

King Tide gave us access to senior engineering talent exactly when we needed it. Their team ramped up fast, shipped quality work, and felt like a natural extension of our own crew. They made scaling our product way less painful.

Sebastian ElghanianCEO, JOON
