That's where Linda Mar Associates comes in. We help founders like you launch successful products and set them up for long-term growth. But what makes us different from all the other agencies out there?

What Makes Us Different?

- We Get Startups: First and foremost, we understand the unique challenges that startups face. Our founder, Doug Reed, has been there himself. He was a US venture-backed founder and now lives full-time in Bogotá with the Linda Mar Associates team. This means he understands the struggles of getting a startup off the ground not just conceptually, but from personal experience.

- We Speak Your Language: Tech and Efficiency: We leverage the latest no-code/low-code tools and AI to streamline development and enhance your product experience. This means we can build you a great product faster and more efficiently, saving you both time and money.

- Proven Success, Proven Partners: Linda Mar Associates has a portfolio that boasts multiple successful product launches, including WageUp, Tomi, Harmonic Financial Technology, and StretchBill. We have a proven track record of helping startups turn their visions into reality.

- Making the Most of Limited Resources: Navigating a tight funding landscape is a major concern for most startups. We understand that. That's why we focus on designing products that grow with your business. This saves you money in the long run by ensuring you don't have to completely rebuild your product down the line as your company scales.

- Our ideal first-year team: this involves a UI/UX designer and 2-3 engineers, we design products that grow with your business, saving you money in the long run.

Building the Right Team: Avoiding Common Pitfalls

Finding the right talent can be daunting. Here's a quick breakdown of two common pitfalls to avoid:

  • Founding Engineer/CTO:  While it might seem appealing to have a technical co-founder, it's important to remember that they may not scale effectively with the company.  Finding the right CTO can also take a long time, delaying your launch.
  • Freelance Engineers: There's a risk of hiring the wrong person and having to manage them, which can derail your project. It's also important to consider the continuity of your project,  as freelance engineers may not always be available.
