Our execution framework

There’s no magic path to building fast and successful tech companies, tech ventures or digital products. The most effective way to gain traction and secure new funding milestones is by anchoring innovation to objectives and tangible value. From strategy to scaling, our strong and validated 5-phase execution framework for building tech companies, tech ventures or digital products ensures speed, focus and checks and balances at every step:
Strategy
Explore the benefits and risks of building a digital model, identify a key hypothesis and determine which unique assets to leverage for the tech venture, tech company or digital product company.
Discovery
Cut the key hypothesis into actionable pieces, outline a precise early feature set while validating against market data and find the perfect starting point to launch both product and venture.
Minimal Viable Product & Venture (MVPV)
Unleash a team of experts to iteratively build a running tech venture, tech company or digital product.
Product-market fit
Hit the public market, improve until early objectives are won, go from market push to market pull and initialize next funding round.
Scale
Use the success of the MVPV to win funding, strengthen business operations, grow technical platforms for new use cases and scale to achieve more business opportunities and customer loyalty.
