Pieoneers Software Inc. is a Vancouver-based web, mobile and AI product development company founded in 2010. We help founders, business leaders, researchers and established organizations turn complex ideas into secure, reliable and user-friendly digital products.
Our senior team combines product strategy, UX/UI design, software engineering and practical AI expertise. We can guide a new product from early planning through launch, strengthen or modernize an existing application, or help turn an AI-built prototype into production-ready software.
Our services include:
1. Web, mobile and full-stack application development
2. AI development, agentic AI solutions and API integration
3. AI prototype assessment and production engineering
4. Product strategy, technical planning and development roadmaps
5. User-centred UX-UI and web design
6. Code reviews and security, compliance and performance audits
7. Legacy application modernization and continuous development
8. Data preparation and integration for AI-enabled products
Every Pieoneers engagement begins with understanding the business, its users and the problem the product needs to solve. We help clients define priorities, question unnecessary assumptions and create a practical plan before committing significant resources to development.
For new products, our team can support the complete journey: discovery, product planning, user experience design, architecture, engineering, testing, deployment and ongoing improvement.
For organizations with existing software, we provide code reviews and software health checks covering architecture, security, performance, scalability and maintainability. Clients receive clear findings, prioritized risks and practical recommendations they can use to decide what should be repaired, modernized or rebuilt.
We also work with founders and domain experts who have created functional prototypes using tools such as Claude, Cursor, Lovable, Bolt, v0 or Replit. A prototype can validate an idea and demonstrate important workflows, but it may still need stronger architecture, secure data handling, automated testing, deployment infrastructure and monitoring before it is ready for real users. We assess what is already valuable and recommend an honest path forward: harden the existing application, rebuild using the prototype as a blueprint, or take a hybrid approach.
AI is part of how we work and what we build. We help clients identify where AI can create meaningful value-through intelligent search, assistants, analysis, automation, natural-language interfaces or data-enriched experiences; and where human judgment should remain in control.
Our experience includes healthcare and wellness, academic research, sports technology, sustainability, industrial operations and business platforms. Across these fields, we focus on software that is thoughtfully designed, technically sound and ready to evolve as the organization grows.
Pieoneers has been recognized by Clutch in areas including app development, AI, healthcare, education and women-owned technology services. More importantly, many of our client relationships last for years because we work as a close product and technology partner rather than simply completing a list of features.
Pieoneers is a good fit if you:
1. Have an idea for a web, mobile or AI-enabled product
2. Built a promising AI prototype and need to prepare it for production
3. Need to modernize or take over an existing application
4. Are concerned about your software's security, scalability or maintainability
5. Need senior technical guidance before making a major investment
6. Want a long-term development partner who will understand your business and challenge assumptions thoughtfully

Pieoneers was founded in 2010 by Olena Tkhorovska, CEO, and Andrew Manshin, CTO.
Before starting the company, Olena worked in the technology industry and with a forward-looking startup in Menlo Park, California. That experience gave her insight into both sides of product development: building a product from within a company and helping another organization succeed as its development partner.
Olena and Andrew believed that great software starts with understanding the people who will use it. They founded Pieoneers to bring clients and developers together as one team.
From the start, they wanted clients to work directly with an experienced and thoughtful team. A team that brings ideas forward and remains accountable for the quality of the final product.
That combination of technical depth, product thinking and direct client collaboration continues to guide Pieoneers today.
The founding principle remains:
- Start with what matters.
- Build with care.
