Imaginary Cloud

What began with a simple yet powerful realization has blossomed into a leading force in digital product development. The story of Imaginary Cloud started in May 2010, born from the experiences of its founder, Tiago Franco. With a robust background in software engineering, having contributed to complex, quality-centric projects at prestigious institutions like CERN, the European Space Agency, and the UK Ministry of Defence, Tiago identified a fundamental flaw in the typical development process. He observed that software built with a primary focus on quality was often difficult for people to use, leading to errors. Conversely, many products that prioritized user experience often did so at the expense of technical integrity. This gap in the market sparked the creation of Imaginary Cloud, a company founded on the principle of seamlessly merging user-centric design with high-quality, scalable, and reliable technology.

Over the last decade and beyond, Imaginary Cloud has embarked on a remarkable journey of growth and innovation. From its origins in Portugal, the company has expanded its reach across Europe, the United States, and the Middle East, successfully delivering over 300 digital products. This impressive portfolio is a testament to their proprietary development processes and a deep-seated commitment to not just building software, but forging strategic partnerships. The team has grown to over 100 dedicated, EU-based professionals, representing the top 1% of talent in the industry. This elite team of developers, designers, product managers, and data scientists works collaboratively with clients, integrating their agile and user-centric methodologies to accelerate digital transformation and provide a distinct competitive advantage. Their dedication to excellence has not gone unnoticed, earning them numerous accolades, including recognition in the Financial Times' list of Europe's Fastest-Growing Companies and being named a 'Great Place to Work'.
