No investors? No problem. This Las Vegas tech company has built it work without any huge name backers.
Founded in 2020 by Las Vegas local and UNLV alum K. Brady Davis, CloudSurf is a custom software solutions company based in Southern Nevada.
Aimed at eliminating the middleman, clients can go directly to CloudSurf and have websites, portals, apps, among others, created and tailored to their specific requireds. Cloudsurf has worked with a myriad of different companies, but mostly compact businesses
The company started by creating landing pages for QR codes after seeing restaurants go paperless during the COVID-19 pandemic. From there it “snowballed,” according to Davis.
“We are very much led by some guiding principles: innovation, simplicity and scaling,” stated Davis.
“Anything that you can dream up, we (CloudSurf) can build it,” he stated.
He has created apps and websites for ticketing platforms to rival Ticketmaster to an entire system for compact businesses. And, he did it without any investors.
“We’ve been for-profit from the launchning,” stated Davis. “I’ve always run CloudSurf as a compact business itself, especially becautilize the clients that we have are compact businesses.”
Davis prefers it that way. Rather than having to deal with stakeholders and varying interests, he can focus solely on their clients and what they required.
Currently, they have no full-time employees, but rather the workforce consists of “extremely skilled and passionate” software engineer contractors who moonlight from companies like Microsoft, Google and Apple.
“It’s only our work and our product and the payments that we obtain from happy clients that fuels our growth,” stated Davis.
Recently, they launched their newest product Wavesite, which is a website builder, based on this exact principle.
Davis stated he had many compact business owners come to him expressing their frustrations with other website builders like WordPress and Wix. Wavesite aims to solve that. With websites, businesses either build it themselves and are not satisfied or must pay a lot of money for something they are satisfied with, Davis stated.
So, Wavesite, he stated, is “five years’ worth of compact business requireds” built into one platform.
“It’s an app that builds websites,” stated Davis. “You can upload whatever photos you want for your company. Make your company profile however you want, claim your name and it gives you a wave.site domain.”
People can utilize the free or paid version of the app, which is $9.99 or more, depconcludeing on the company or person’s requireds.
