Small audience. Hassles of navigation. An MVP that requires releasing. A team under 10 members who stay with the highs and the lows. Fast competition.

If all these sound familiar, then you’re probably in a startup ecosystem.

It's a race that favours the faster and the smarter ones, and for your venture to be both, it's all about the choices. Mistakes are a given, but it is smarter to avoid ones that can be a barrier to your business.

So how do you make choices that propel your business forward? As a startup who wants to put their application out, it may seem a daunting task, given the number of tech giants and startups in the ecosystem.

But, look at the bright side of the competition. There's so much market research to look out for, communities to discuss with and case studies to learn from. In the world of mobile application development, there are reputable experts and developers who specialize in Native and React Native applications.

If you’re on the way to launch a promising new application in the market, making the right choices might just propel your business forward. If you decide to focus on a particular operating system only, then native may be the way to go. But if you’re going for an application that is cross-platform, aims at gaining an audience and has a seamless user experience, then regardless of platform React Native is the best choice.

Did you know that React Native was a framework developed during one of Facebook’s hackathons? Inspired by their own practices of web development, Facebook incorporated these practices into designing web-based concepts as mobile applications.

In simple terms, React Native is what developers and companies look to, for incredible user experience, cross-platform framework, and faster development among other features. React Native is an open-source framework created by Facebook that uses Javascript. With the idea to combine the experience with web development and the user experience of native mobile platforms, React Native was introduced to the developer community.

From tech giants to young startups, the IT industry of this age is teeming with choices of tech stacks to utilize. But as a startup, navigating that journey can be challenging. Startups often juggle numerous things such as lack of funding, tight deadlines, lack of market research, expansion of target audience and so on. With an MVP and often, a small team in hand, here’s a glimpse into the questions behind any startup’s strategy:

What could be the best framework for my application? Will my team be able to handle it? Do I follow the startups who have successfully implemented React Native? How will the challenges affect my business?

To drive that question cloud away, here are some factors to consider and to determine if React Native perfectly fits your needs:
