How we can help

01

Product Roadmap

+

Move slow to go fast.

Sometimes it pays to think a few steps ahead. We work with early stage teams to lay out a clear and strategic roadmap for their launches.

A solid roadmap is grounded on a few insights: what are the "jobs" our customer are trying to do, where our business potential lies, and what is feasible to implement.

Based on an understanding of these elements, we'll work together in a nimble project to define an actionable roadmap to chart your path forward.

Typical timeframe: 3-4 weeks   

02

Experience Concept

+

What's the experience of your product? 

In this project, we’ll craft an exciting vision for the future experience of your product. In the end, you’ll have a concept presentation, interactive prototype and roadmap that shows the future of your digital product.  

The future vision of your product will be based on an in-depth understanding of your business strategy, users needs and technical feasibility.

After the project, you’ll have a shared and concrete big-picture view of the future of your product experience. With the prototype and roadmap, you can get to work on developing smaller increments of the product.

Typical timeframe: 6-8 weeks

03

Brand Design

Your brand is the your face to the world.

For early stage companies, crafting a world-class brand is a multiplier for your science and technology.

<zIn this project, we’ll craft a fresh brand identity for your company.
