MassLight

Founded in 2000 in Washington DC, MassLight has been serving the DMV area for over 18 years. We provide comprehensive full-stack development and long-term project management services for both enterprises and startups. Our enterprise clients choose us for our extensive expertise in designing, developing, and managing complex platforms. We have established long-term partnerships with large clients in both the private and public sectors, focusing on the development and maintenance of intricate web applications. Since the launch of the iOS App Store, we have also been involved in mobile application development. Our team has significant experience in creating native applications for Android (Java/Kotlin) and iOS (Swift/Objective-C), in addition to hybrid apps using frameworks like React Native. Our portfolio features applications developed for various purposes, including in-house projects, startups, commercial enterprises, and non-profits. For server-side infrastructure management, we utilize AWS or Microsoft Azure. We are well-versed in building and maintaining traditional hosted infrastructures to deliver RESTful services and web applications on AWS, utilizing tools like EC2 (Linux, JBoss, Tapestry), RDS (MySQL, PostgreSQL), and S3. Additionally, we offer Build for Equity services, collaborating with early-stage startups to provide software development in exchange for equity. This arrangement has been mutually beneficial for startup founders, allowing them to access expert technical support while conserving their cash for sales, marketing, or key hires. Build for Equity is an effective strategy for bootstrapping tech-focused startups, as demonstrated by our successful partnerships.
