Our story
Back to 2016, GROW Labs founders aimed to build a platform that would help startups accelerate.
Looking for IT solutions to create this platform exposed to them the gaping holes of the IT outsourcing market.
Inspired by their difficulties to find a reliable IT partner to help them build their platform,
they started envisioning a platform that would ease the interactions between demand and supply and help both parties to reach their business goals.
Why we do this
Innovative clients, the best software agencies in the world,
collaborating in the ultimate software development tool,
building the coolest products for the world.
That’s what we want to achieve.
When do I need to fund my project?
Before any work begins on any part of a project, you’ll need to fund your project. The amount of the payment will depend on the payment milestones outlined in the agreement with your hired Development Agency. But don’t worry, your funds aren’t released to your development agency until you mark their work as complete. You can fund your project by credit card or bank transfer.
After selecting my development partner, what's next?
Once a GROW Labs Development Agency is selected,
it is up to you both to create the agreement for the project.
The work can’t start until both parties approve the agreement,
and the Client funds the first project milestone.
We cannot guarantee any payments to our Development Agencys
should they decide to start working before the agreement
is approved and the first milestone is funded.
The client is responsible to pay for work in the agreement,
to review the work on time, and development agencys are responsible
to deliver the work in the agreement and to deliver the work on time.
How can I evaluate a development agency?
Developer Agency profiles include detailed information such as work experience, portfolios and skills tests taken so you know who you’re hiring. We calculate Client Review scores and display confirmed feedback from past clients to give an overview of Development Agency client satisfaction score.
How does the vetting process for agencies work?
We have several measures in place to ensure GROW Labs is a fair and reliable marketplace.
We use our due dillegence process to verify the quality of Development Agencies.
This information is available in their public profiles, this includes:
▪ Company Description
▪ Contact Details
▪ Developer Test Results
▪ Portfolio Items
▪ Client Testimonials
What are the costs for posting a project?
It’s free to submit a project to GROW Labs.
Our platform automatically will provide you with a budget estimation.
Once your project is published, matched and a deal is created,
there will be payment milestones defined. After each succesfull delivery of a milestone,
the agreed amount will be paid to the development agency.
GROW Labs will charge a standard commission,
which is already included in the price agreed with the agency.
As client you will not recieve addiotional charges.
The agreed amount per milestone will be the final amount to be paid by you as client.
What information do I need to supply for the matching?
When submitting a project on GROW Labs,
you’ll be guided through the process of putting together a basic project description,
budget, and scope. This submission process should not take more than a few minutes.
After you have filled the intake form, you can choose to save or publish your project.
After it's published, the system matches the five best Development Agencies to your project.
You can communicate with them or invite others to give you quotes as well.
Can I have any kind of project done the platform?
Anyone can submit a software project on GROW Labs!
We can help with all types of digital products,
like mobile apps, design and development, web apps, and all types of websites.
Looking for a single developer, a team or maybe a designer? We got your back!
Will I receive an invoice from you?
Yes, you will get a confirmation of payment (funding of milestones) from us, and an invoice from your selected partner.
What types of Escrow are available?
There are 2 types of Escrow, a finance Escrow and a software Escrow.
How do NDA's work?
Every project that you see on GROW Labs is under NDA, which means that GROW Labs Development Agencys cannot share details about any received project (unless Clients approve). We’re here to respect the confidentiality of our Clients.
What currency does GROW Labs operate in?
GROW Labs’s project budgets and payouts are posted in EUR.
How do agencies on the platform get paid?
Clients are required to fund either the first part of a project or the complete project budget before work begins. That money sits securely with the GROW Labs Escrow provider Ingenico while work is being completed. That way, our Development Agencys know that they don’t have to worry about waiting around for money after they’ve finished their work, and Clients know their money is safe while work is being completed.
What is a Finance Escrow?
With a finance escrow, clients pre-fund work and release funds to the Development Agencies as projects are completed or milestones are met – knowing that they’ll be able to review and approve delivered work before releasing payment. Escrow also gives freelancers the comfort of knowing that a project is funded before they begin working.
What is a Software Escrow?
A software Escrow is used to ensure that the software that is developed is stored on a safe place during the project period. This way you will always have the last version of your product secure.
Do you share my information with third parties?
GROW Labs is highly protective of your privacy, only disclosing information permitted by our Privacy Policy.
I have a partnership idea – who can I contact?
That’s awesome! We love hearing new ideas on how we can partner and collaborate. Shoot a message over to our mailbox info@growlabs.tech.
Can I become one of the selected partners?
If you are a Development Agency specializing in software development,
web and mobile you can apply to work on projects in GROW Labs.
The criteria to become a Development Agency on GROW Labs is different for each skill:
- you must speak English fluently
- you must share 3 references from past clients you’ve worked with
- you must submit links to at least 3 portfolio items or use cases that you’ve created
- you must have a registered company
- you must have a company website
- you must have a bank account for the named company
Who will be able see my profile and information?
Your company profile and information is partly public. We don’t want anyone to hassle you or fill your inbox with unnecessary emails, which is why only after a person is logged in to our platform they can see the full profile details.
Are there any tips to help me win more projects?
Here are a few tips to help you:
1. Have an updated portfolio showing your best work
2. Adding a personalized intro message referencing a similar project you did in the past when applying to work on a project
3. Applying to projects within hours (sonner the better) of their posting
4. Ensure that you have sufficient test results with a good score added to your profile
5. Ensure that your profile is complete and that you select all the right features and skills.
Once you start delivering your first couple of projects on GROW Labs,
the number of projects you book will tend to increase because projects
you work on might get featured to our community and the addition of good reviews will boost your profile.
How do I get proposal requests?
New published projects will be matched by the platform to the best matching Development Agency. Therefore we use all the information stored in your profile, including the test results, testimonial scores and client ratings. Please ensure that your profile is complete and up-to-date at any time.
How will I get notified for new projects?
As soon as you are matched to a project you’ll receive an email with a summary of the project. If you’re interested, you’ll have the option to apply to the project with a draft quote. There's an advantage to having an introduction within the first day a project is posted.
Does a project need to stay within the platform?
Yes! Apart from helping us keep the lights on and achieving our vision alive
of helping Development Agencys and Clients produce awesome work,
the GROW Labs platform enables our ability to cover you if anything happens with your payment or any issue comes up during the project.
Also, one more thing – if we find that a project is taken off GROW Labs,
we’ll close your account and your Client’s account,
and you won’t have access to our awesome and ongoing stream
of vetted projects on GROW Labs (which we offer to you without charge).
Can I see all the projects that are available?
No, you will only be able to see projects that are matched to your company.
Will a paid subscription help me get more projects?
Our algorithm is designed to make the best match, regardless of subscription type. However a paid subscription will help you be more visible for browsing clients and for agencies who want to have an increased service level or direct introductions to our offline clients.

GROW Labs’ business model is a sliding fee based on the project value. The percentage of the transaction cost is calculated on the total price for each project. This way the agency pays a lower average fee over larger project, increasing their overall revenue.
