In 2017, a U.S.-based healthtech startup set out to disrupt the way clinics and therapists manage their operations, combining appointment scheduling, secure messaging, telehealth, and billing—all in one HIPAA-compliant platform.
They had validated their MVP, raised their seed round, and were gaining early traction. What they needed next was a high-performing, reliable dev team to take their product from “it works” to “best in class.” That’s where Southteams came in.
We partnered with their CTO to redesign the team structure around scalability and speed. Within a month, Southteams assembled a hybrid team of 8 professionals—frontend and backend developers, QA, and DevOps—specialized in React.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL, and Kubernetes, all deployed on AWS with secure infrastructure built using Terraform and CI/CD pipelines on GitHub Actions. But we didn’t stop at technical fit—we focused on alignment.
These weren’t just contractors; they were extensions of the core team, working with the same rhythm, ownership, and urgency as the internal team.
By mid-2022, the company had doubled its client base. With Southteams’ support, they were able to roll out telehealth features for iOS and Android using React Native, meeting a growing demand for mobile-first access in mental health care. Compliance and security were never compromised thanks to our team’s experience in building healthcare-grade systems.Today, the platform serves thousands of practitioners across the U.S. and is on track for a Series A.
The team we helped build is still going strong—tight-knit, fast-moving, and fully integrated.
