Our verdict
Netguru is a software development company headquartered in Poznań, Poland, that has worked with clients since 2008 (Netguru). It is a certified B Corporation, and it names IKEA, Volkswagen, OLX, Żabka, Careem and Vinted among its clients. Kuba Filipowski is chief executive and co-founder.
Companies hire Netguru for product strategy, design and software engineering, and increasingly for AI work: AI development, AI agents, machine learning, data engineering, AI pods and forward-deployed engineers are all listed services. It sells that work through dedicated teams, staff augmentation or a delivery center, and it has built its own products, Chatguru and the Silk design system, from patterns it saw across client projects.
For a company that already uses an outsourced product team, Netguru is an example of a long-running dev shop turning into an AI builder, with the design and engineering bench to ship the whole product around the model.
Best for
Companies that want one partner for product design, engineering and AI features, especially in commerce.
Not ideal for
Buyers looking for a research-heavy AI lab.
