Our main mission is to help entrepreneurs design and launch new products, iterate, and succeed faster.Unlike an average software consultancy or agency, we provide an end-to-end support structure with pre-seed capital, teamaugmentation, as well as advanced product design and development services to early-stage startups and new products. Slowly but steadily, our vision of bringing massive and positive socio-economic change to the world through technology is becoming a reality. We have thrived to become one of the fastest-growing venture builders in Central Europe with growth of 1200+ % in 5 years, more than 190 team members, and worldwide partners. Our staggering growth resulted in receiving multiple international recognitions from Deloitte (Fast 50 CE 2019, Impact Star 2020, Impact Star 2022), UNDP (SDG Business Pioneers, category People for 2020 and 2021, SDG Business Mentors 2022), Financial Times FT1000 (2020 - first company in BiH to be ranked on the list), and others.Still, the aspect we're most proud of is that, instead of positioning ourselves as a traditional service provider, we are always hands-on, creating partnership relations with entrepreneurs.
