Software development partner in Orange County
Based in Tustin, Uptech Studio helps Orange County companies design and build software with product strategy, UX, and engineering on one senior team. Local when you want face time. Experienced enough to work with teams anywhere.
The challenge
Plenty of developers. Fewer real partners.
Orange County has no shortage of dev shops, offshore teams, and freelancers. What is harder to find is a partner who helps you decide what to build, designs software people actually use, and has shipped products at startups and bigger companies. You do not need more tickets closed. You need better product decisions and a team that pushes back when the spec is wrong.

We work with Orange County startups, growth-stage companies, and product teams inside larger organizations across Southern California and beyond.
UX & Design

Featured work
SoCal roots, national experience
Float
Fintech product, SoCal Startup Day 2020 winner
We led strategy, design, and mobile development for Float, a fintech product for couples building credit together. The company won SoCal Startup Day 2020. We know the Orange County and Southern California startup ecosystem and what it takes to go from idea to product investors and users take seriously.
Across industries
Fintech, health, hardware, media, and more
Our partners have worked on products for companies like Trovata, Invoy, KQED, Prism Labs, and Verizon Connect. Orange County clients get a local team with experience well beyond the OC market: regulated fintech, connected hardware, public media apps, and enterprise UX.
Why Orange County companies work with Uptech Studio
Based in Tustin
Our Orange County office is in Tustin. We are part of the local tech community and available for in-person working sessions when that makes the project better.
Senior integrated team
Product managers, designers, and engineers who have shipped at startups and bigger companies. You talk to the people doing the work, not a sales team handing off to juniors.
Investor perspective
Our partners are LPs in Southern California angel and seed funds. We understand what early-stage companies in OC need to show investors and how to prioritize product work accordingly.
Remote-friendly, local when it helps
Most of our work blends remote collaboration with on-site sessions when useful. You get flexibility without giving up access to a team that knows the SoCal market.
