Challenge
As Gena Health, a London based MedTech startup, set out to build its cutting-edge platform for empowering cancer patients, the company needed to scale its development team strategically—starting with a React frontend developer to build the MVP and later expanding to a full-stack Python & React team to refine and polish the fully functional product.
To ensure smooth product evolution and timely delivery, Gena Health required top-tier engineers who could integrate seamlessly and contribute effectively at each stage.
Outcome
By leveraging Yotewo’s tech recruitment expertise, Gena Health built a high-performing development team that successfully transformed an initial MVP into a production-ready platform.
- Fast MVP Development: A React developer was quickly onboarded to create a functional MVP, allowing Gena Health to validate its product concept and gain early user feedback
- Seamless Transition to Full-Stack Development: As the product matured, a full-stack Python & React developer was integrated to enhance backend functionality and optimise frontend performance
- Efficient Product Iteration: With the right talent in place, Gena Health achieved faster development cycles, ensuring a smooth, scalable, and high-performing final product
- Cost-Effective Scaling: By hiring specialised talent at the right time, Gena Health maintained agility, avoiding premature overstaffing while ensuring steady progress toward launch
Gena Health product was executed in a multi-phase strategy, balancing MVP needs for core functionality and usability of end product in line with design materials.
