Business

Starting or scaling a business comes with similar challenges. These phases demand significant energy, critical decisions, major changes, and a solid financial plan. Our team of Growth Architects—experienced in strategy and with deep expertise in organization, HR, finance, and operations—is here to guide and challenge you in creating and aligning a growth plan tailored to your vision and needs.

Tech

From designing the right architecture to delivering high-quality code, our skilled architects and engineers are ready to support you at any stage of your project. Leveraging agile software development and expertise across a wide range of programming languages (including Rust and Scala), we can assist with creating an MVP, developing an ERP, or tackling any tech initiative you envision.

Marketing

Creating a product is just the beginning. Developing a strong brand, crafting a customer acquisition strategy, and successfully bringing your product to market are essential steps in growing your business. Our marketing experts have a proven track record of success with businesses of all sizes, across both B2B and B2C environments. If you need someone to build or refine your marketing strategy, they’re the team for the job.

Business

Whether you need a full growth plan, a revision of your financial plan, help with recruitment, or general advice from an experienced team of growth architects, we’ve got your back. We’ll help you build your company from the ground up or lend you a hand where you need it. After helping out over 100 startups, we know our way around a business.

Tech

Our experienced tech leads help you at any stage of your project. Through agile software development and an all-around mastery of most programming languages (including Rust or Scala), we can help with building an MVP, an ERP, or any tech endeavour you put your mind to. We also perform thorough tech and security audits.

Marketing

Building a product is only half the job. Establishing a brand, a customer acquisition strategy, and bringing your product to market are crucial parts of developing a business. Our marketers have a real track record of success with both small and larger businesses, both in B2B and B2C contexts. If you need to someone to build or challenge your marketing, they’re it.

Approach

This is what happens when you bring together a team of passionate experts who put people first and strive for success. True success lies in strong partnerships.

Co-creation

You’re the expert in running your business, and we specialize in building startups, structuring organizations, and creating cutting-edge technology. Through years of R&D alongside leading researchers, we’ve developed proprietary methodologies rooted in Visual Thinking to foster a collaborative partnership with you. We believe in the power of visual representation—one image can communicate what words cannot. Our goal is to empower you, keeping you firmly in control while streamlining the process to achieve a highly effective collaboration.

Flexibility

Whether you need a full team to implement a new project or just a few hours of consultation, we offer the flexibility to tailor our team composition to your needs. You have the freedom to adjust the workload on a monthly basis. This flexibility doesn’t come at the expense of knowledge retention—our environment is designed to retain talent and expertise. Our consultants can seamlessly integrate with your team and step in or out as needed without disrupting progress.

Transparency

Throughout our collaboration, we will act as your dedicated team. Transparency is key to building trust, which is why we ensure you have full access to all relevant information and are actively involved in all major decision-making processes.

You are in control

Tracking tools and methods
you won’t find anywhere else.

As you know, transparency and flexibility are core values for us. That’s why we’ve developed a proprietary platform called My26, enabling you to track the progress of every project in real time and see exactly how resources are being allocated at any moment.

My26 represents our commitment to openness and trust, which we believe are the foundation of any successful growth partnership.

Projects

We deliver massive value to ambitious entrepreneurs who recognize that success lies in surrounding themselves with the right team.

Umedia

Umedia, a film production company with $670M invested in over 500 movies, approached us when they reached a growth plateau. We helped them boost their investments by 60% without expanding their team. By modeling their operations and leveraging our understanding of their business, we automated numerous repetitive tasks that were limiting their team’s efficiency.

Yields.io

The founder approached us with his initial idea while still working a day job. We challenged the concept and developed the first version of the product, which played a key role in securing €1.25 million in funding from VC firms. Six years and several fundraising rounds later, the company now employs 35 people, and we continue to collaborate closely, primarily through coaching sessions.

We were brought in to assist sharingbox in streamlining the steps required to deploy their technology in the real world. By mapping their internal processes, we developed the tools needed to standardize these workflows, ultimately doubling the company’s efficiency. This also facilitated knowledge transfer when it was time for the founders to exit.

e-maprod

We came in to help e-maprod reorganize their team by putting all the cards on the table, helping them hire the right people, and empowering teams with a sense of ownership to make them autonomous. We also optimized their internal workflows to help them stop relying on Excel and work with a tool adapted to their needs.

Team
