Savvy Apps was founded in Washington, DC in 2009 by Ken Yarmosh, a former Booz Allen Hamilton consultant who saw an opportunity in the nascent mobile app market. The agency has since built a steady reputation for smart, strategy-first mobile development.
Unlike agencies that take any project that walks through the door, Savvy Apps is selective about their clients. They work with both funded startups and enterprise organizations, but every engagement starts with a strategic assessment to determine whether an app is the right solution in the first place.
The team is intentionally small — around 30 people — which means clients get senior-level attention throughout the project. There’s no bait-and-switch where a partner sells the deal and then hands it off to junior staff.
Savvy Apps has built products across healthcare, education, fitness, and enterprise productivity. Their work on the Spotio field sales platform and various health-tech applications demonstrates their ability to handle complex business logic and regulatory requirements.
Yarmosh’s book “App Savvy” became an O’Reilly bestseller and helped establish the agency’s thought leadership in mobile strategy. The team regularly publishes detailed case studies and development guides that have become go-to resources for product managers considering mobile investments.
