About Cheesecake Labs

Cheesecake Labs was founded in 2013 in Florianopolis, Brazil by a group of professionals with experience at Uber and other global tech companies. Their team of 100+ skilled Brazilian developers and designers has delivered 300+ apps, originally focusing on mobile apps for fast-growing Silicon Valley startups based on their founders' experience. The company name came from early team rituals of relaxing with cheesecake while brainstorming. They specialize in nearshore software development and staff augmentation, combining Brazilian creativity and technical talent with timezone alignment to North American clients. Their emphasis on collaboration, ownership, and problem-solving defines their approach.

Why They Stand Out

Founders' Uber experience brings Silicon Valley product thinking. Nearshore Brazil model provides timezone alignment with US. 300+ delivered apps with focus on startup and growth-stage companies.

Ideal For

US startups seeking nearshore development with timezone compatibility. Companies wanting Latin American talent with Silicon Valley methodology. Organizations needing staff augmentation with cultural alignment.

Potential Drawbacks (Honest Assessment)

Brazil location may have less established reputation than Eastern European or Indian competitors. 100+ team size limits capacity for multiple large engagements. Nearshore rates higher than offshore alternatives.
