About Bixie

Empowering Women's Financial Independence

Founded by Rosalia Gitau, Bixie is more than just a financial app—it’s a movement aimed at helping women grow their net worth and confidence in financial decision-making. By focusing on challenges unique to women, such as a lack of confidence linked to limited financial knowledge and a preference for savings over investments, Bixie provides tailored solutions that resonate with women’s financial behaviors and needs.

How did we help?

Creole Studios provided comprehensive support tailored to Bixie’s specific needs, ensuring the successful development and launch of their app.

Step 1

Strategic Resource Provisioning

Understanding the startup’s constraints and requirements, we initially provided a seasoned NodeJS developer to build a robust backend for the Bixie app. Our flexible engagement model included a 3-day free trial, allowing Bixie to assess the fit and performance of our developer without any upfront commitment.

Step 2

Expanding Technical Team

After the successful trial and based on the high-quality output, Bixie extended their team through Creole Studios by adding a Flutter developer and a UI designer. This expansion was crucial for scaling the app development to include front-end functionalities and an aesthetic that appeals to the target user base.
