Testimonials

Vipin Motwani

CEO & Founder of IronGate

My experience with Rapid Innovation has been fantastic. I had interviewed a few Blockchain development companies prior to signing on with Rapid Innovation. They really took the effort upfront to understand my vision of the project. Often their CEO, Jessie, would join the initial conversations. Then as the project progressed they continued to give me weekly meetings with updates from the dev team. On those meeting the CTO, Prasanjit, also added his insight. Ultimately they finished the project on time and it was exactly what I was envisioning.

Scott Brown

CEO & Founder of Vrynt

Rapid Innovation is a team of professional blockchain experts  to work with. Their team is transparent, flexible, with a clear understanding of what it takes to get a project off the ground in the crypto space. You will also find yourself dealing with an OG crypto soul, who has seen all there is to see as the blockchain and cryptocurrency space has evolved. It is very important to call out, working with Jesse does not come with the standard transiency and unreliability normally found inside crypto dev shops. If you need a solid team, organization, and professionalism.. you are in good hands.
