Introduction

POCKLA had the vision. A smart blend of AI and creative strategy to help marketers move at the speed of social. What they didn’t have was a product. Or time to waste. As an early-stage startup, they needed to find product–market fit fast - and that meant getting something real into users’ hands. They weren’t looking for a typical dev shop. They needed a partner who could jump in across design and development, build alongside them, and think like part of the team. Someone to help shape the product, react to feedback, and move fast - without cutting corners.

We joined POCKLA as more than just builders - we became an extension of their team. From day one, we worked closely with co-founders Hugo and Rupert to turn their early-stage vision into a working product. Design in Figma. Build in Bubble. Automations via n8n. Everything stitched together with care, speed, and a shared sense of purpose. The scope was full-spectrum: onboarding and authentication, SlackBot integration, email notifications, dashboards, user profiles, admin tooling - all designed and delivered by a single Goodspeed teammate embedded in the team’s rhythm. Daily Loom updates kept communication tight and momentum high. Feedback came in fast, and we responded even faster. We didn’t just follow the brief - we worked around it. Smoothing user flows, anticipating edge cases, and making sure the product felt as good to use as it looked. When something wasn’t clear, we clarified. When the brief shifted, we flexed. Our goal was always the same: make the MVP feel real, robust, and ready for users. And we got there. Together.

We helped POCKLA launch fast - but more importantly, we helped them learn fast. With a working MVP in users’ hands, they could start gathering real feedback, refining features, and shaping the product in real time. That constant iteration gave them the confidence - and the traction - to raise a £1.6m seed round led by Venrex, with backing from The Sidemen and other top-tier investors. Now, POCKLA isn’t just building - they’re scaling. And they’ve got the product momentum to prove it.
