Our Team
Beta Acid is a small team of product-focused designers, engineers, and managers who love building cool shit.
We strive to use empathy to understand each project we tackle. Our team works as well collaboratively as we do autonomously. We are adaptive but opinionated. We value communication, transparency, quality, and believe that our work should be as fun as it is serious.
