Who are we?

Amplified is an American company with subsidiaries in Romania and Nicaragua. Ian Panchevre, our CEO, founded Amplified while pursuing his MBA at Stanford.

We’ve spent most of our careers building tech startups, and we know all too well that to successfully build and commercialize a new product, you need to surround yourself with startup professionals: designers, engineers who develop, PMs, strategists, and data scientists.

We also know that it’s hard to build a world-class startup team. We often felt like we were spinning our wheels trying to build a team rather than focusing on our customers and their needs. So we outsourced parts of our businesses to contractors and agencies, both onshore and onshore. And we got screwed not once, not twice...

Through it all, we hated feeling like we were trapped in transactional relationships with vendors that were more interested in their invoices than in our success. So we embarked on a mission to build the type of organization that we, ourselves, would have wanted to work with: A true technical partner that was honest, reliable, and able to grow with us; a team that allowed us to get to market faster, cheaper, and with a higher quality product.
