Our Story

We are known for being a friendly and informative bunch. We aim to scale alongside our clients and ultimately hope they outgrow us and in-house their data requirements.

Bumble Origins

The core 173tech team led analytics at dating giant Bumble, overseeing its growth from an idea to a $3 billion exit in five years.

Stepping Out

We learnt so much growing Bumble, we knew we could accelerate that journey for other businesses and 173tech was born.

Fast Growth

As our team and client base expanded, we helped over 50 businesses unlock value from their data.

Looking Ahead

We aim to grow alongside our clients and ultimately support them in building in-house data teams and long-term capability.

What Collaboration Looks Like

Direct Access

We deploy a senior 5 person team to every project enabling us to work quickly without compromising on quality.

- Direct access through weekly syncs and shared slack channel

- While our team are all based in the UK we have clients across the globe

- We never outsource any element of our work to freelancers or other agencies

“As a startup it was amazing to be able to tap into the talent at 173tech."

Clarity Throughout

We deliver what we promise, when we promise and are here to support your team for as long as you need us.

- Every single thing we do is fully scoped ahead of time

- All deliverables are mapped out with a timeline and risks identified

- We absorb the cost if we do not hit our deadlines, but this rarely happens

“Great quality work, reasonable agency pricing, no over-selling."

Growth Focused

Our team understands that data needs to power more than just reporting, we are keen that everything we do provides clear value and grows your business.

- We typically work with B2C companies that are SaaS, Apps or eCommerce

- Size does not matter, we can help you find the right solution for your maturity

- Many of our clients are PE or VC backed

"That work we did together was transformational for our business. They built the engine that powers insight in our business.”
