_> About Us
Built for Enterprise Agility_
>> The reliability of a mature software house. The speed of a startup. Senior engineers only.
>>From Hackfest to enterprise delivery_
_> Three founders. One bias: ship.
>> Three engineers met at Poznań University of Technology in 2009. They shared a simple bias: ship something real, then make it better. In 2012 they won Poznań Hackfest, earned a coworking desk as the prize, and founded Apptension on August 21.
The name was the brief. App for what we build. Tension for the creative friction that turns ideas into production software. Along the way we founded Teamdeck, a resource management product born from running our own multi-project teams. That product DNA still shapes how we ship for clients.
13 years later, that same instinct runs the company. Senior engineers only. 360+ projects shipped. We still move like a hackathon team, with the discipline enterprises need for regulated, high-stakes products.
