ABOUT US

Meet the team

At Opptify, we spend an unhealthy amount of time figuring out how to make our app better. That's because we've lived through the pain of pulling bids together ourselves. Our team combines decades of experience in international development, software, business management, IT and design, and we're building the tool we wish we'd had.

We also like to think we're pretty fun to work with!
