A reliable long-term partner for our tech needs

Oliver Harding / CEO | Sep 09, 2026

Our experience with Larven Syndicate was really positive from start to finish. When we changed our minds on a couple of features halfway through, they handled it without fuss and were clear about the impact on cost and timeline. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time.

It has made a real difference to how our team works day to day.

We would definitely work with them again.

Project summary

Larven Syndicate was brought in to build firmware and a companion app for a smart device we were launching. They worked alongside our in-house team, which mostly handled business requirements and testing. Overall it was a 2-month engagement.

Capable AI & Machine Learning team — happy with the end result

Niamh Walsh / Founder & CEO | Aug 30, 2026

Overall the project was a success, though it was not without some challenges. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline.

We launched on schedule and have not had any major issues since. Estimates on a few features were optimistic and those took longer than planned.

Overall, a team we trust and plan to keep working with.

Project summary

Our company worked with Larven Syndicate to automate document data extraction that our team was doing by hand. They also took care of integrations with a couple of third-party tools we already used. We worked together for around 8 months.

Feedback from our customers has been very positive so far. We would definitely work with them again.

Larven Syndicate Delivered a Quality UI/UX Design Solution on Time

Julia Richter / Head of Engineering | Jul 10, 2026

Overall we had a good experience working with Larven Syndicate. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline.

Since launch, everything has been stable and our team has adapted to it quickly. Documentation at handover was a bit thin and we had to ask for more detail. If you need a team that communicates well and delivers, they are a good choice.
