Long story short

Our cooperation with Perkmylife began in 2011, when we created the very first version of their online platform, for an ambitious start-up. Since then, we have been continuously working to improve their product, so they can provide better solutions and expand their reach.

The new version of Perkmylife helped them to step out of Polish universities, and into Stanford.
