01 refine.
Ideas, even the best ones, need refinement. A fully refined idea is the foundation of everything that follows, from product vision to implementation strategy.
We can help you develop your ideas and ensure all aspects have been carefully and meticulously thought out by people who have been in your shoes.
02 devise.
Starting with a high-level product vision and decomposing it into actionable, incremental steps is one of the more difficult parts of building a product. A clear and comprehensive execution strategy is essential for a successful product.
With extensive expertise in both product and engineering we have the unique ability to bridge the gap between these two worlds, enabling us to devise the most comprehensive and optimal execution strategy for your product.
03 build.
Whether it is a proof-of-concept, MVP or final product, we can build it. While most engineers have preferences around how they build, we prefer to take an any-stack approach. The technologies we use and recommend are chosen to fit the product vision and strategic plan, not the other way around.
04 advise.
Bringing 20+ years of learnings to the table we can help provide guidance on all challenges a startup may face. Whether you are looking for one-time advice, or an embedded startup advisor, our expertise can help round out your experience, skills, and knowledge.
æthos
05 we work to create positive connections and deep change in our world.
Who we are is as important as the quality of work we produce. Our logo is a reflection of the core values that we hold. The absolute value "| |" symbol represents our desire to ensure that everything we do creates absolute value (not diminished in any way) and positive connections for you and the world.
The second symbol "∤" does not divide, signifies that our work is anything but fractional. Our world is extremely divisive, so we strive to be the opposite. How we work, who we work with, and who we are as human beings is just as important as the quality of work we produce.
To sum (math pun intended) this all up in a phrase, we work to create positive connections and deep change in our world.
06 community.
In addition to being thoughtful about how we work, we give 10% back to local non-profits within the community of Albany, NY.
07 startups.
Building your own startup and getting traction is extremely difficult. While our primary purpose is to provide services to startups, we are also launching a regional startup fund to help drive innovation.
