From Concept to 700,000+ Users
Qeepsake’s MVP validated their concept but couldn’t scale. With a waitlist of over 100,000 users, they needed a product that could deliver, and quickly. We built their 1.0 app with optimized onboarding, messaging integrations (Twilio, Facebook), and Stripe-powered payments. 700,000+ users later, Qeepsake is growing – and fast.
- 20x Growth: Qeepsake’s user base grew exponentially, turning a concept into a thriving business.
- Scalable Infrastructure: Built on Ruby on Rails with cloud-based AWS support for fast growth.
- Enhanced User Experience: Features like A/B testing, segmented messaging, and tailored pricing tiers drove engagement and revenue.
"After seeing 20x growth in our user base and meaningful revenue, we've seen Qeepsake mature from a product into a thriving business—a huge leap forward."

Frequently Asked Questions
Gnar Ideate is ideal for startups with big ideas, product managers seeking clarity, or enterprises looking to validate new concepts before development. It's particularly valuable if you need to validate concepts with stakeholders or investors.
Our process typically takes 6-8 weeks, giving you a fully developed prototype and actionable plan. While many firms promise faster turnarounds, we've found this timeframe allows for proper discovery, iteration, and refinement – ensuring you get a prototype that truly serves your needs.
Your prototype will include high-fidelity designs, user flows, and interactive elements that simulate the final product. It's not just a static mockup – it's a working demonstration of your product's core functionality that you can use for testing, presentations, and stakeholder reviews.
Absolutely. Your prototype serves as a powerful visual aid for presentations and fundraising efforts. Our clients regularly use their prototypes to secure funding, with the added benefit of having a clear development roadmap to show how they'll use that investment.
Many clients naturally progress to our Gnar Ignite service for full product development, as we'll already understand your vision and requirements in detail. The transition is seamless because we've already mapped out the technical requirements and development approach during Ideate. However, you're also free to take your prototype and roadmap to your internal team or another development partner.
While the focus is on user experience and interface design, we include technical feasibility assessments throughout the process. The development roadmap you receive will include technology recommendations, potential technical challenges, and a realistic timeline for building your product.
Unlike traditional design agencies, we approach prototyping with a product development mindset. Our team includes both designers and engineers, so your prototype will be built with technical feasibility in mind. We're not just creating pretty screens – we're laying the foundation for a successful product launch.
