How an idea becomes a company.

Four stages, each with a clear outcome. Come in at the one you need, and leave whenever you like.

Stage 01

Idea Validation

We dig into the market, talk to the people you want to sell to and run cheap tests to see whether they’ll pay. You find out before the big money is spent.

  • Market and competitor research
  • Customer interviews and problem discovery
  • Business model and pricing hypotheses
  • Landing pages and smoke tests to measure demand

You leave with

A straight answer: go, change course, or stop.

Where AI helps

AI speeds up the desk research, so more of your budget goes into real conversations with customers.

Product Development

We design and build the first version of your app, platform or device. We keep it small enough to ship quickly, then harden it once real users arrive.

  • Product scoping and UX / UI design
  • Clickable prototypes for early feedback
  • Web, mobile, cloud and embedded engineering
  • Electronics, PCB and firmware prototypes
  • Cloud setup, security and analytics from day one

You leave with

A working product in your customers’ hands.

Where AI helps

AI-assisted prototyping and coding help each round of changes move faster.

Market Launch

Good products don’t sell themselves. We help with the brand, the pitch, the marketing and the first sales channels that bring in paying customers.

  • Brand identity and positioning
  • Go-to-market plan and launch campaigns
  • Sales materials and customer onboarding
  • Acquisition channels and conversion tracking

You leave with

Your first paying customers, and a way to find more.

Where AI helps

AI helps with first drafts and campaign testing, so a small team can cover more ground.

Growth & Expansion

Once customers are coming in, we stay on. We improve the product, automate the busywork and help you into new markets.

  • Product improvements driven by usage data
  • Automation of repetitive operations
  • Scaling infrastructure, or moving hardware to volume production
  • Expansion into new segments and markets

You leave with

A company that can grow without hiring at the same pace.

Where AI helps

Automation helps keep running costs in check as you scale.
