MEV has been a trusted partner with us for almost 10 years.
Andrew

Manufacturing Business Buyer

"MEV and I closed out the engagement today—very successful.
Given their background in custom software development, they are perhaps an unusual partner for IT DD, but I actually believe this was their strength. Their focus on custom means they are used to unstructured problems where they need to come up with the method AND the solution, which is a great fit for evaluating small businesses because SMB rarely have the "standard / industry-best-practice" equipment and tools that you will find in Corporate America. Folks who work on custom also need to be versed in a variety of technologies, not just the latest-and-greatest, which was helpful for my target, which is really old-school and has old tech."

Jason Greene

Head of PubDev & Product at Fastener.io

Like an extension of our team, we booked daily calls throughout the duration of our initial contract to build a B2B Platform facing senior leaders in Media; I say initial as we fully intend to continue our engagement. Thoughtful, experienced, consultative and incredibly efficient, I would not hesitate to recommend MEV (we worked with Olesia, Bogdan and Max with Alex guiding the business side always with professionalism and candor). If you're building something, talk to MEV and then hire them.
