Innovate at the speed of a startup. Inspired by design, they approach new subjects with an open mind and fresh eyes, to build their own convictions. They believe the true value of an idea can only be measured when it meets its market so they try to go from brief to prototype launch as quickly as possible. Here’s why you should work with them: 1. They go from ideas to launch They imagine and build the products and services that answer the business needs of clients. But they do not believe in leaving their ideas on paper (or Powerpoint) so they build viable prototypes, and test them in the field through simulated market launches. 2. They bring you speed and agility They are able to go from a business challenge or opportunity to a ready-to-launch prototype in just 4 months. They adjust their work and pivot as often as necessary to find the right alignment for “product-consumer-market-fit” and to build sustainable business models. 3. Multidisciplinary project teams They believe creativity and innovation feed off diversity. Their teams are always composed of 1 engineer, 1 designer, 1 business/marketing expert. This core team will work together for the entire span of the project.
