Martin Kanis, founder and CEO of ProRocketeers, appeared on the podcast “Buduj značku” with Petr Schwank. They discussed the company’s approach to software development, its focus on customer partnerships, and the creation of its own products.

In the podcast, Martin shares a glimpse into the company’s philosophy and operations, our approach to software development, and the work of building our own innovative products.

What were Martin’s main topics on the podcast?

Working with customers: We are more than external developers. We bring technical and process innovation to projects and look for ways to move both the customer’s product and business forward.

Our own product: We introduced our startup Proxy QB, a neurorehabilitation tool developed with healthcare professionals and shaped by patients’ real needs.

Team culture and development: We rely on a strong, well-coordinated team. That allows us to deliver quality results quickly without lowering our standards.

Flexibility and agility: We work in an agile way: delivering small, working increments, responding to change, and making sure our clients can see things moving forward.
