The brief
A creator-first streaming startup needed a mobile app with low-latency video, live chat, virtual gifting, and creator payouts. The backend had to survive the moment a stream takes off, when thousands of viewers arrive in a minute, and the payment flows had to be trustworthy enough for creators to rely on for income.
What we did
- Product design and UX for viewers and creators
- Flutter apps for iOS and Android
- Low-latency live video and chat
- Virtual gifting, wallet, and creator payouts
- Moderation tooling and admin console
- Cloud infrastructure that scales with concurrency
The result
The platform went from concept to paying users and crossed $50,000 in revenue within its first year.
Streams stayed smooth through peak concurrency, creators were paid on time, and the team kept shipping features weekly after launch.
