The first step is always the hardest. It is especially true for tech startups. You may have a clear blueprint for the development of your company and a strong ambition to achieve something meaningful for people’s wellbeing.
However, turning that vision into reality requires the right people to support you every step of the way. That’s the exact challenge SleepHabits faced, which led them to turn to SkilledUp Life.
Founded in 2023 and based in London, UK, SleepHabits is a tech startup that creates and manages lifestyle Apps like SleepHabits and the Gratitude App. Available on both iOS and Android, these Apps help users sleep better, practice gratitude and live healthier lives.
Well begun is half done. For SleepHabits, turning to SkilledUp Life was the right decision at exactly the right time. Since joining, SleepHabits has engaged SkilledUp Lifers (SkilledUp Life Volunteers) in various roles. These roles have helped strengthen SleepHabits’ team in key areas that are vital to shaping a brighter future for the tech startup.
They brought in App development talents to support UI/UX design, usability testing and coding tasks. They added marketers to work on App Store Optimisation (ASO) for greater visibility, run social media advertisement campaigns and drive organic growth for their lifestyle Apps. Business development volunteers helped build strategic partnerships, while recruitment talents strengthened their pipeline of volunteers and contractors. Together, these roles have enabled SleepHabits to grow, from App creation and design to user research, marketing and partnership building.

If you have built a tech startup, you already understand the value this brings. Your company may not be focused on developing Apps, but you might be working on building strategic partnerships, promoting your product, hiring talent, or creating long-term consumer relationships. The reality is, you will need designers to shape your product, marketers to promote it and share your story, business developers to uncover new opportunities, and recruiters to build a strong team.
SkilledUp Life gives you access to all of this, and sets you off with a strong beginning – one that is already halfway toward your journey’s success. SkilledUp Life is not just about filling positions. It is about giving tech founders access to the people they need to scale faster, smarter and stronger. SleepHabits tapped into this opportunity, and it is one that any tech startup, in any industry, can take advantage of, too.
Our community brings together over 61,000 skilled volunteers from 147 countries, all eager to collaborate with you while gaining the chance to build their portfolio, sharpen their skills and expand their practical experience.
