After Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Lindsey Witmer Collins knew she had to act fast: All but two of her employees lived in the country, the majority working from an office in the western city of Lviv. A few weeks later, many of WLCM's employees got to work again, relishing a sense of normalcy, she told Inc. in March 2022. But it wasn't business as usual, in any sense. Here, she shares what happened in the months that followed.

WLCM was named #50 on the Fast 100, the SF Business Times' list of the fastest growing private companies in SF. The timing of these awards (this and Inc.'s equivalent list, to which we were named in March of this year) is interesting for us, because it's happening as virtually our entire team becomes refugees.

WLCM is more than a dev shop. We're long-term creative, strategic, and technical product partners. We provided software strategy, experience design, and development to venture-backed startups and established companies that need the highest-quality execution and true partnership. Today, we got word that we are one of the most reviewed global application management firms on The Manifest.

Brella is reimagining childcare in every dimension: from its gorgeous physical spaces to its fully-flexible booking process.

For more than 10 years, the San Francisco-headquartered app development company WLCM (pronounced "Welcome") has grown at a rapid clip by providing end-to-end development and design for startups. Then, business came to a sudden halt. On February 24, Russian forces invaded Ukraine, which put all but two of WLCM's 24 employees in peril.

Inc. Magazine today revealed that, with a growth rate of 259%, WLCM App Studio is No. 55 on its third annual Inc. 5000 Regionals: Pacific list. This regional list represents a unique look at the most successful private companies within the Pacific region.

Designing apps is about more than functionality. It’s about capturing the spirit and aesthetics of a company as well.
