Devstars
Most growing businesses face the same frustrating choice: enterprise agencies that charge a fortune and move at a crawl, or freelancers who are cheap but can’t scale with you.
You need senior-level strategy and bespoke development capability, without the overhead of a big agency retainer.
That’s exactly what we built Devstars to deliver. Thirty years of experience across brands like Heathrow, Monzo, and the Ministry of Defence, now combined with AI-powered delivery to give ambitious businesses enterprise-grade results at a fraction of the cost.
MVP to multi-year projects
Transform your operations with custom systems that typically cost enterprises £500K+
Custom web applications, platforms and enterprise software built to scale. From MVP validation to growth-stage technical infrastructure that supports rapid expansion and funding rounds.
Harness the same data strategies we used for the MoD and G4S, scaled for your business:
Senior marketing direction at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire. Stuart Watkins works as embedded fractional CMO for a select group of clients, providing strategic leadership covering digital marketing, conversion optimisation, and multi-platform growth.
Ideal for businesses turning over £2M–£20M that need a marketing director’s experience without the £120k+ salary.
Deploy enterprise AI workflows that eliminate 40+ hours of weekly tasks:
Tell me what you’re trying to fix. Half an hour, no pitch, no slide deck.
If we’re the right fit we’ll talk about what’s next. If we’re not, I’ll point you to someone who is.
Long-term partner → 300% revenue growth achieved
5-year technical partnership building a scalable video content management system. Enabled international expansion and enterprise client acquisition for this fast-growing media start-up.
We had been told for a while that what we needed to achieve was not possible, too complex and too expensive. Devstars proved that wrong!
Ongoing partnership → Growth-stage ready platform
5-year development partnership creating a comprehensive ride-sharing platform with real-time tracking, payment processing, and advanced driver management systems.
Fantastic experience working with the team. Took a concept to delivery in less than a month. Brought a real enthusiasm and wealth of ideas to the project. A pleasure working with them! Highly recommend.
Inception to acquisition → Award winner bought by learning enterprise
Complete development journey from initial concept to acquisition. Built complex skills-matching algorithms and large-scale data processing systems that helped young people navigate career choices.
I’ve worked with DevStars on multiple web projects including two-sided platforms with complex back end systems, and I can’t recommend them highly enough.
They have a can-do attitude to any brief, a truly flexible client-centred approach, and their expert knowledge has really helped us create sites that work for our customers.
