About Build Me App

Founded in Toronto.
Built to Stay Small.

A founder-led product studio, not a 200-person agency. Here's who's actually on the call, how we're structured, and what committing to a build with us really means.

Not an Agency.
A Studio.
Why we built it this way

Build Me App started in 2023 because Imran kept seeing the same pattern: founders hire an agency, get passed to a junior team they've never met, and spend months chasing updates instead of shipping product. We built the studio we wished existed: a dedicated team you meet before we start, limited active projects, and the founder on every strategic call.

We deliberately stay small. Not because we can't grow, but because scale changes how you work. Every client gets a dedicated team, a fixed scope, and direct access to leadership. No account managers buffering the conversation. No surprise hand-offs mid-build.

What that means for you

Imran leads every engagement at Build Me App: scoping, strategy, client communication, and escalation. If something needs a decision, it goes through him.

Before founding Build Me App in 2023, he spent years building products for founders and operators who needed a team they could actually trust to deliver. That experience shaped how the studio runs today: limited active projects, direct access, and personal accountability when things get hard.

How we're built

North American Leadership. Global Delivery.

We're upfront about our model. It's central to how we work and why clients get hands-on leadership without agency-level overhead.

Strategy & Client
Toronto & Frisco

Product strategy, scoping, and client management run out of our Toronto headquarters, with a US office in Frisco, Texas. Imran is available during EST business hours. Your direct line, not a ticket queue.

Engineering
Dedicated Build Team

Your product is built by a dedicated team: lead developer, supporting engineers, and a QA engineer assigned only to your project. Every engineer works exclusively on Build Me App projects and is managed directly by Toronto leadership.

Communication
Async by Design

Structured daily updates, weekly video check-ins, and a shared workspace: Slack, Notion, or your tool of choice. Progress is documented and visible at every stage, not summarised once a month.

The Team

Dedicated Team. Every Engagement.

No hand-offs, no outsourcing. The people you meet on the first call are the ones who build your product.

How we work

Three Things We Never Compromise On.

These aren't aspirational values on a wall. They're the way we actually work, every project, every time.

01
Speed

We move fast without cutting corners. Deadlines are commitments, not targets. If we say 8 weeks, we mean 8 weeks.

"Slow delivery kills momentum. We treat your launch date like it's ours."
02
Craft

Every product we ship is something we're proud to put our name on. Design, code, and copy, all held to the same standard.

"We don't ship things we'd be embarrassed to show our own clients."
03
Ownership

We treat every product like it's ours, until it's yours. No blaming briefs, no hiding behind process. We own the outcome.

"If something goes wrong, we fix it. No invoices for the obvious stuff."
Working together

What an Engagement Actually Looks Like.

No vague process diagrams. This is the path from first conversation to a product in your hands — and what happens after.
