CapacitorThe challenge
My Startup Story is a business simulator for the phone: you start in a garage, pick an idea, hire and watch the office grow. The genre usually lives on a desktop. Here it had to fit in portrait, read without a manual and show the team actually working. The office could not be a board with icons: it had to be a 3D place worth coming back to, and the same game had to ship on iOS and Android.
The solution
We designed and built the whole product: the game, the 3D world, both native apps and the website. This is what shipped:
iOS and Android app. The native app, end to end, built entirely by us. The same game on both stores, with progress saved on the device.
The game. A portrait simulation. Idea, product, team, cash and investment, and an office that grows from the garage to the building. The player watches the team work and decides with the numbers on screen.
3D in Blender. More than 100 models: furniture, characters and the offices. The look is a soft scale model, from the garage to the building diorama.
The code. More than 250,000 lines. The simulation in TypeScript, the scene in Three.js and React, and the native packaging for both platforms.
The website. startupstory.app, the commercial face of the game, with the 3D office scenes.

Frequently asked questions.
Timelines, deliveries and how we work together.
When can we start?
We start within 48 hours of the first call. We organise the project, give you Slack access and work on the first deliverable that week.
What does the monthly subscription include?
You can request web and app design, design systems, prototypes, presentations, sales materials, ad creatives, emails, consulting, UX and accessibility reviews, and documentation. The AI development plan also includes coding. You set the priorities; Pro covers one active project at a time, while Enterprise supports several in parallel.
Who owns the code and designs?
You own them from day one. The code is in your GitHub repository and the designs are in your Figma account. The intellectual property belongs to you.
When does an external team make sense?
When you need to make progress before you've hired every role, or your team needs help with a specific project. With Productea, design and development work together. You set the priorities and can adjust the plan to your workload.
How long does a delivery take?
Design deliveries usually take a few days. For a first release with development, allow 6-8 weeks. The timeline depends on scope and we agree it with you.
Can I pause or cancel anytime?
Yes. No commitment, no penalties. Pause your plan if you have a quiet month and resume when you need us again. Remaining days carry over.
How do you use AI in development?
We use Claude, Cursor and workflows adapted to the project. AI supports implementation and testing; senior engineers define scope, review the code and approve releases.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes. We sign the NDA your legal team prefers before the project starts.
When do I need Enterprise instead of Pro?
Enterprise fits when you need to work on several projects, brands or products at once, or need more delivery capacity. Pro covers ongoing work on one product.
