Gigster

Gigster is a software development firm that delivers projects through a network of vetted engineers, designers and product specialists. It was sold to Virtasant, a cloud optimisation services company, in 2024 and still trades under its own name and website.

Its services cover AI development, enterprise AI engineering, product design and UX, applications and platforms, and system modernisation. Clients can choose three engagement models. Fully managed projects cover delivery from scope to launch. Dedicated teams work on a client's roadmap. Talent on demand places engineers inside an existing team, including forward deployed engineers.

Gigster publishes client stories across healthcare, finance, ecommerce, media and enterprise software. One built a learning platform for a tax software company. Another delivered the front end and app for a music discovery service built on Spotify. Its site lists well-known enterprise clients, but it does not name specific technology partners.

The firm was founded by Roger Dickey and Debo Olaosebikan and went through Y Combinator. Sources disagree on its base, with listings pointing to Austin, San Francisco and San Antonio.
