Muli Mobile Turns 14: Welcome to the Awkward Teenage Years!

The proud father himself.

When I founded this company in July 2009, I could not imagine the roads we would travel and the lessons we would learn. At 14 years old, we are New Zealand’s original mobile app development company.

It seems like just yesterday when Muli Mobile came bouncing into the world, all bright-eyed and eager to make its mark on the mobile app industry. But now, folks, our beloved company has officially hit the big 1-4! Yes, you heard it right. Muli Mobile is now a teenager, and let me tell you, things are getting interesting around here.

Just like any teenager, Muli Mobile is going through some delightful, yet slightly awkward, changes. Let's take a moment to compare our beloved company's transition to the thrilling world of teenagehood. Buckle up and prepare for the wild ride!

Among the colourful projects we’ve worked on is The Feed.

Mood Swings:

Remember the days when Muli Mobile was a sweet, innocent little startup, always ready to please its customers? Well, say goodbye to those days! Just like a moody teenager, our company's emotions are all over the place. One moment, we're ecstatic about a new feature, and the next, we're sobbing over a minor bug.

Awkward Growth Spurts:

Ah, growth spurts! Every teenager's rite of passage. Muli Mobile is no exception. We've watched our company grow from a small team of enthusiastic developers to a bustling hub of creative minds. But with growth comes some awkwardness. We may stumble here and there, but rest assured, we're finding our feet as we go along, and we’ll soon grow into our metaphorical adult-sized shoes.

The Rebellion Phase:

What's a teenage journey without a touch of rebellion? Muli Mobile is going through its own rebellious phase, and it's both thrilling and terrifying. We've seen some unconventional decisions, like going all in on remote work 4 years before Covid. Don't worry, folks, it's just Muli Mobile trying to find its unique identity. I can't wait to see what other rebellious acts we come up with!

The Need for Independence:

Teenagers yearn for freedom and independence, and Muli Mobile is no exception. We're starting to spread our wings, exploring new markets, and stepping into uncharted territories. It's an exciting time, but also a tad nerve-wracking. I am hoping that Muli Mobile doesn't come home with a tattoo of a pixelated unicorn anytime soon. Fingers crossed!

Constant Hunger:

Ah, the teenage appetite. Muli Mobile's insatiable hunger for innovation and success is just like a teenager's insatiable appetite for pizza. We're constantly on the lookout for the next big thing, ready to devour any opportunity that comes our way. Just remember, Muli Mobile, moderation is key. Too much pizza, or innovation, can lead to an upset stomach.

So there you have it, folks! Muli Mobile has officially stepped into the realm of teenagehood, complete with mood swings, growth spurts, rebellious acts, the thirst for independence, and a never-ending hunger for success. It's a thrilling and slightly tumultuous time for our company, but we're excited to see what the future holds.

Happy 14th birthday, Muli Mobile! Here's to embracing the awkwardness, surviving the mood swings, and navigating the bumpy road of teenagehood. May you continue to grow, innovate, and make the mobile app world a more exciting place. Cheers!
