About WillowTree

Founded in 2008 in Charlottesville, Virginia by Michael Prichard and Tobias Dengel, WillowTree grew from a 3-person mobile shop into a 500+ employee powerhouse before being acquired by TELUS International for $1.22 billion in 2022. They've built enterprise-grade mobile experiences for T-Mobile, Marriott, PepsiCo, Dexcom, and FOX Sports. Their approach combines deep technical expertise in native iOS and Android development with sophisticated data analytics and accessibility standards. Known for rigorous quality assurance and ability to handle complex integrations with legacy enterprise systems.

Why They Stand Out

Enterprise-grade security and compliance expertise. Experience with regulated industries including healthcare (Dexcom) and financial services. Backed by TELUS International resources for global scalability.

Ideal For

Fortune 500 companies and large enterprises requiring complex, highly-scalable mobile applications with stringent security, accessibility, and compliance requirements.

Potential Drawbacks (Honest Assessment)

Corporate acquisition may affect startup-culture appeal. Enterprise focus means less suitable for early-stage startups. Premium pricing and longer sales cycles typical of large agencies.
