to become a unicorn
TheraNest is a comprehensive software platform that helps mental health professionals streamline their daily workflows by automating routine tasks and reducing paperwork—freeing up more time for patient care.

The challenge

On March 5, 2013, Shegun Otulana approached us with a request to rebuild the non-working and buggy MVP created by another development team, from scratch, within one month . The goal was to deliver a clean, functional prototype to regain the client’s trust and keep the vision alive.

Result

One month wasn’t enough to rebuild the entire product, so we officially launched the full MVP in 2.5 months, on May 26th, 2013. From that point, we continued working closely together, improving the product daily. Within just seven months, we hit a major milestone: 100 paying B2B customers. After seven years of dedicated collaboration and steady growth, the product ultimately became a unicorn. TheraNest is now #1 in their niche.

We started our partnership with Paralect when developing a new product for a third party. Due to the team’s efforts and qualitative work, the final product became a success.
