About Fanzoo Technology
Founded in the Ann Arbor area, built on real engineering talent.
Our Story
Fanzoo Technology was founded in the Ann Arbor area of Michigan with a straightforward mission: build great software for companies that need it. For years, that's exactly what we did — delivering custom software solutions for organizations ranging from Fortune 500 companies to early-stage startups, spanning healthcare, automotive, nonprofit, and beyond.
We spent years doing custom software development the traditional way — and doing it well. We built the processes, earned the scars, and developed the kind of deep technical judgment that only comes from shipping real products for real companies. We know what good software looks like because we've been building it for decades.
Then AI changed the game. We watched AI tools transform our industry, and instead of fearing the shift, we leaned in. We recognized early that AI coding tools and workflows weren't a threat to experienced engineers — they were a force multiplier. The catch? Without seasoned developers guiding them, AI tools produce fast garbage instead of fast results.
That's what makes Fanzoo different today. We're uniquely positioned at the intersection of deep experience and modern AI tooling. Our team brings decades of real-world software development expertise, now amplified by AI-first workflows that let us deliver 2-5x faster than traditional approaches — without sacrificing the quality, security, and maintainability that our clients depend on.

What We Believe
The principles that guide how we work and what we build.
Experience Matters
AI is a tool, not a replacement for judgment. The best results come from experienced engineers who know what good software looks like — and use AI to build it faster.
Speed Without Shortcuts
Faster doesn't mean sloppier. We use AI to accelerate delivery while maintaining the engineering rigor, testing, and code quality our clients expect.
Radical Transparency
We'll tell you when AI isn't the right answer. We're honest about what AI does well, where it falls short, and where human expertise is essential.
Partnership, Not Projects
We embed with your team. We're not a ticket factory — we're a true technology partner invested in your success from discovery through launch and beyond.
