Cheesecake Labs Expands U.S. Presence with New San Francisco Office, Ranks #1 Mobile App Developer on Clutch, and Grows Sales Team

Cheesecake Labs is on a roll.

It’s been a productive 2024 for us overall, but the last few months have been particularly triumphant. We hit three major milestones:

  • 🌉 Hello, Bay Area! We’ve swung open the doors to our brand-new San Francisco office to get closer to our US-based clients.
  • 🏆 We’re #1 in Mobile App Development! That’s right — CKL ranked #1 in Clutch’s latest Leaders Matrix for San Francisco.
  • 👥 We’ve grown our US team! With fresh talent on board, we’re ready to meet demand and reach new markets.  

Our new San Francisco office: Strengthening connections in the Bay Area

We’ve long worked with clients in Silicon Valley and other tech hubs in North America, but most collaborations have been remote — our clients usually stayed in the US while we hammered out code remotely in Brazil and our Florianópolis headquarters.

Now, we’re exploring a whole new way to connect with our clients because we’ve opened a Bay Area HQ!

With this new physical location, we can sit down with West Coast clients for in-person brainstorming sessions! 

While our core operations remain in Brazil, we now have business development and client success teams in San Francisco for face-to-face meetings. Are you looking to build blockchain, mobile, or web app products? You can expect the same speed and quality we’ve always delivered — plus the benefit of direct interactions.

Setting up an office in this tech capital is the next step in Cheesecake Labs’ US expansion. Now that we’re plugged directly into San Francisco’s tech market, we hope to forge even more partnerships with the region’s industry leaders, emerging startups, and robust investor network.

It’s only been a few months, and we’re already feeling the energy! There’s truly something electric about being in the epicenter of tech innovation.

Recognition as the #1 Mobile App Development Company by Clutch 

We’ve done it: Cheesecake Labs ranked #1 on Clutch’s Leaders Matrix for San Francisco mobile app development companies!

This recognition reflects more than just our recent achievements — it’s a testament to over a decade of delivering exceptional services to clients in the Bay Area.

Our longstanding reputation for creating innovative digital products and providing stellar customer service has helped us build this foundation of trust and success. 

While this is an incredible honor for our entire company, our hardworking product and development teams truly deserve the spotlight. Their consistent pursuit of excellence and dedication to pushing tech boundaries have truly made this milestone possible.

What does this recognition mean?

Clutch is a renowned B2B platform that ranks service providers across various sectors to help businesses vet potential partners.

Every year, they review tens of thousands of mobile and web app developers globally and rank top performers based on a combination of quantitative factors and client feedback.

Their Leaders Matrix shows a wide-angle snapshot of the best companies in any given service and location based on two factors: focus (a company’s specialization and expertise) and ability to deliver (a company’s track record of success based on client feedback, experience, and industry recognition).

Topping the Market Leader quadrant and ranking #1 overall shows Cheesecake Labs’ exceptional ability to deliver top-notch mobile app development services. This achievement also highlights our strong focus and operational excellence.

This is not the first time Clutch has acknowledged our efforts. Thanks to our hardworking teams and to clients who continue to trust us, we’ve maintained our position as a top app development company in Latin America for many years.

In 2023, we were also named a Clutch Champion and a Top-Rated Business Service Provider — honors reserved for the top 10% of global leaders in our field.
