Treads

Unknown

Treads (https://www.geekbears.com/case-study-treads) is the first tire subscription service in the United States. They shifted from manually tracking customers to allowing payment collection and service scheduling through their app. Here's how it functions: Users subscribe monthly, and the app automatically monitors their tire mileage, sending alerts for rotation services and replacements as necessary. Additionally, the platform offers other vehicle services and roadside assistance. The Treads experience was crafted with user needs for tire management in mind, and key features were developed in collaboration with stakeholders to launch a minimum viable product (MVP) of the platform. Treads provides a comprehensive range of services, including: • Installation of New Tires (economy, standard, and premium) • New Tires for Life • Tire Rotations • Replacement of Damaged Tires • Flat Tire Repairs • On-Demand Roadside Assistance • 1% of proceeds donated for CO₂ removal from the atmosphere. Results include over $10 million raised, notable achievements such as acceptance into the Mucker Capital Incubator program, an app store rating of 4.6 out of 5, and more than 40,000 active users. Available on the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/treads-app/id1494159985.

Dumpling

We assisted Dumpling (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dumpling-grocery/id1410408871) in creating their MVP from the ground up. Currently, it boasts a 4.9/5 rating with over 8,500 reviews and has secured more than $10 million in funding. Dumpling is a platform that enables users to choose a local personal shopper by browsing their profiles, placing orders, and coordinating deliveries. Personal shoppers have the ability to set their own schedules and provide services to their community, enhancing their autonomy and flexibility in their work. They sought an application that would equip users with the tools needed to manage, promote, and grow their businesses. We initially crafted all the UI/UX designs, followed by developing the front-end for both mobile and desktop platforms. The backend utilized Google and Yelp APIs to gather data for the shoppers. Notable achievements include: - $10 million in funding - Winning the Alchemist Accelerator - Featured in GeekWire - 4.9/5 app store rating - Over 8,500 reviews Testimonial: “Our startup, Dumpling, collaborated with Geekbears to create a mobile-centric web app for our MVP. They partnered with us to shape the product from the initial concept and wireframes to the final launch. Throughout the process, the team took the time to grasp our goals, posed insightful questions, offered valuable suggestions for improvement, and worked diligently to complete the project.” Nate D’Anna, Founder & CEO of Dumpling.

SchooLinks

SchooLinks is an online platform that links international students with numerous school options. It offers a range of browsing capabilities and filters based on preferences, allowing students to discover, communicate with, and easily apply to schools with a simple click. Through extensive research involving schools, students, and educational agents, we pinpointed the essential features for SchooLinks' minimum viable product (MVP). Notable accomplishments include being listed on Inc. 5000 and raising over 10 million USD. More information can be found at https://www.schoolinks.com/.
