Built with 💙 by Very Good Ventures
We built this Very Good Start and the Very Good CLI based on our extensive experience building scalable production Flutter applications for companies like Betterment, Policygenius, Good Money, Hamilton, and more.
As our team grew, it became crucial to ensure each new project was developed with consistent, reliable best practices designed with enterprise-grade scalability.
It’s also more fun to start building the parts of an app that make it unique right away, compared to spending weeks setting up the invisible parts that all apps need to scale.
We built Very Good Start as a commitment to our best practices, and we are bringing it to the world!
