MVP Factory is a VC fund in Berlin focused on Retail and Logistics. About MVP Factory as Investor:We have four different investment approaches: (1) invest at pre-seed / seed into tech startups and support with expertise and resources on tech development, product, design, entrepreneurship and support the fundraising process. (2) Offer service-for-equity by helping founders without tech expertise andresources to build their first product versions. (3) Start our own ventures that we validate in-house, assemble a founding team for and organize a fundraising round. (4) Together with corporate partners we run sector specific venture studios and incubate businesses, one example being our Venture Studio together with globally leading logistics provider DB Schenker. About MVP Factory as an agency: As a digital product & venture builder we do exactly that: we ideate, build and scale products and ventures.Our clients range from startups and scale-ups to global Corporates.Over the years, we have synthesised our learnings into our unique process of how we build great products and ventures – from Exploration until Scaling.We help organisations execute their digital transformation at start-up speed by combining our expertise from entrepreneurship, product design, consulting and engineering with lean and agile processes and high-performing, scalable delivery teams.We partner with our clients to identify high value digital opportunities and execute them whilst enabling and transferring knowledge to their existing teams. We cover the whole product lifecycle from ideation to development and scaling.We have helped over 90+ clients to design and build digital products and ventures - ranging from FinTech, Insurance, Retail, Logistics, Real Estate to Public Sector - and helped to scale their digital innovation initiatives.We help start-ups and scale-ups validate, build, launch and scale their first MVP and even beyond, following lean and agile methodologies.Depending on how far along you are with your idea, we either validate it through user research, landing page tests and during technical scoping consult you on the various tech stack options and develop a tangible product roadmap together with you.If you have done all of that and are looking for someone who "just builds it", then we are more than happy to do so – if needed starting with Brand Design, Product Design or going right to actual development.We create value through products not slides, are acting as builders not consultants and leverage the future of work.
