MyTeams

MyTeams is a custom mobile app and software development firm headquartered in Austin, Texas, founded in 2021. The company emerged as the digital development arm of myco.io, a Web3 super app that reached 15+ million downloads and $80 million pre-money valuation. MyTeams has delivered 50+ projects, raised $40+ million in funding for clients, and operates from offices in Austin, Dubai, Egypt, and Pakistan. The team includes founders Umair Masoom, Farhan Ahmed, and Phil McKenzie, with a stated capacity of over 1,000 developers available for engagement.

MyTeams was born from the experience of building and scaling myco.io, which showcases both the company's technical depth and its understanding of growth-stage challenges. The founders leverage that background to serve clients across multiple industries—fintech, media, real estate, wellness, and social platforms. The company emphasizes lean cost structures and agile delivery, positioning itself as an alternative to traditional in-house hiring while maintaining what it describes as "top 1%" talent standards.

Services and capabilities

The core offering splits into four phases: Ideate (PoC development, rapid prototyping, fundraising consultation, thought-leadership branding), Create (mobile app development, web development, digital commerce, software, game development), Innovate (AI/ML, dApp/blockchain, AR/VR/XR, IoT, design), and Elevate (paid and organic marketing, app store optimization, generative engine optimization).

On the mobile side, MyTeams builds iOS and Android apps. They work with blockchain platforms—BNB Smart Chain, Ethereum, Matic, and Solidity—to develop dApps and Web3 applications. Web development includes custom sites and e-commerce platforms. They offer design services spanning wireframing, prototyping, user journey mapping, responsive design, accessibility, high-fidelity mockups, and continuous UI/UX improvement. The company also provides marketing services: paid and organic campaigns, ASO (App Store Optimization), and "generative engine optimization."

On the engagement side, they offer staff augmentation (developers embedded in client teams on hourly rates), dedicated development teams (exclusive squads also hourly), project outsourcing (fixed-price, end-to-end delivery), and selective outsourcing (pick-and-choose services like QA or design at fixed rates). Free 3-month maintenance is included with app development projects.

The company emphasizes agile methodology with "99.99%" success delivery claim and claims to offer 24/7 updates. They work across multiple programming languages and note availability in Austin and Dubai with English-fluent teams aligned to client time zones.

Notable work

Myco is the flagship—a Web3 super app with 12+ million registered users and 2,000+ creators. It streams 1,500+ original and licensed titles across web, Google Play, and Apple App Store, available in 200 countries. The app combines video streaming, content creation, and blockchain-based earn mechanisms.

DraperTV is a Web3 streaming platform led by billionaire investor Tim Draper, focused on venture capital content and entrepreneurship education. It secured $10 million in Series A funding and achieved $80 million post-money valuation—one of the marquee client wins mentioned prominently.

RescueRoute is a mobile tool for emergency response drivers, allowing patient trauma assessment and real-time hospital routing based on facility capabilities—a mission-critical use case showing healthcare domain experience.

Other projects include Daman (a fintech trading platform and website redesign with real-time integrations for daily trade management), Moiseau (e-commerce app for jewelry with custom UX), Teammate (sports fan social platform), Helecare (wellness discovery and membership platform), Maskan (PropTech app built in React Native for real estate across the Arabian Peninsula), and SocialLoop (decentralized social media for Gen Z/Alpha).

One client testimonial (Arno, Daman) praised the team's handling of "real-time integrations" and complex trading workflows with "compelling UX design." Another (Roberta Cassiem, Myco super app) highlighted "unparalleled expertise and professionalism" from concept to launch.

How they work

The engagement process follows a three-step model: (1) Discovery—a conversation exploring business goals, budget, timeline, and optimal engagement model; (2) Goals & Strategy—finalizing backend/frontend approach and assembling a "top 1% specialists" team; (3) Code, Connect, Deliver—iterative development with 24/7 updates and close metric tracking. Clients can choose from four engagement models: staff augmentation, dedicated teams, project outsourcing, or selective outsourcing. Pricing is hourly for augmentation and dedicated teams, fixed for project and selective outsourcing. Costs vary by project complexity, features, platform, and design requirements; the company recommends direct consultation for custom quotes.
