We Build Digital Businesses

We originate, identify and cultivate ideas to build digital-based businesses, tools and intellectual property.

Google Glass: Weather Alert

Our Severe Weather Alert premiered as one of the very first available apps for Google Glass. Weather Alert was an innovative utility which embraced the exciting, yet challenging features of Google Glass.

Workshop Thinking

We leverage a methodology for generating, identifying and evaluating ideas and solving problems that equally balances vision, strategy and business acumen with hands-on prototyping and building to help us spot the ideas we take from concept to profitable business model or marketable intellectual property. We take a deliberate and craftsmen approach to our efforts.

  • Originate
  • Prototype
  • Build
  • Rethink

By using our Workshop Thinking approach, we work to find new and original ways to solve problems, leverage technology and take advantage of opportunities.

While we work to construct business models and value propositions, we deliberately give license to our team to move from concept to vision to strategy to building fluidly, so we can test, rethink, pivot and evolve.

Our ultimate goal is it to take an idea from concept to a profitable business or IP. While doing this, we carefully and conscientiously construct meaningful cultures and skilled teams that we work with to build organizations that will positively impact communities, markets and our customers.

We put ideas into a process that gives us a chance that ideas to their most basic form so we can think of different ways to advance and quickly evolve to something better.
