LAMP Digital is looking to support the local Web startup community and is looking for exciting projects.
Since our inception in 2006, we have worked jointly with a number of very early stage Web startup businesses; to deliver demonstrable proof of concept software which allows the organisation to move to the next stage, often first round investment. We have undertaken these projects on an extremely flexible working basis, from fully joint ventures to equity share and revenue share arrangements. We have now taken one of our clients’ projects fully to market where it is now being implemented with Vodafone and T-Mobile World-wide, proving to be commercially extremely successful. We are proficient in a number of technologies, from PHP/MySQL and Java to MSSQL and .NET. We also have a wide range of skills in development for mobile devices and a thorough understanding of the social media and Web start up community with good contacts into investment and support agencies.
