The brightest solutions to the biggest challenges

At BrightMinded we think that coding is creative – it’s about finding the brightest solutions to the biggest challenges.

We’re a team of highly-experienced software engineers and we work with reliable local partners that complement our skill sets. Our founders have worked together since 2006 and have a combined 50 years of software engineering experience, as well as 15 years of product management.

How we operate

We’re professional, open-minded and agile, and we’ll ensure you get the best possible solution for the budget available. We’ve worked with highly demanding clients, ranging from small Brighton boutiques to international charities like WWF and global banks like JP Morgan.

As well as client-driven projects we also build our own applications. Have a look at some examples of our work here.

Our history

We’ve come a long way since the first day our bright minds came together…

Mar 2011

BrightMinded Ltd was founded. It was like the big bang all over again.

Jul 2011

We released our first product: the Facebook shop! Several clients used them but, alas, the hype faded quickly.

May 2012

We moved into our first office space on Wilbury Villas.

Jan 2013

Dan C began cycling to the office from Lewes. He’s since travelled around the planet once, while making eight trips up Mt Everest a year on his bike!

May 2013

We employed our first recruit, Zara, followed closely thereafter by Jos and Clara.

Jun 2014

We made it to the finals of IBM Watson’s developer challenge with our fitness idea TRAIN ME.

Feb 2016

At our go-karting session Cris reminded everyone why he must never be given a driving licence.

May 2016

We participated in the TechnoGym sponsored accelerator in Venice, where TRAIN ME turned into Flair.

Apr 2017

We created the Trumpalyser, an AI tool to perform sentiment analysis on the Tweets from POTUS. Trumpalyser has since unplugged itself in disbelief.

Feb 2019

To cope with our growth, we moved to bigger offices in The Dock Hub for the fourth time.
