Learn who we are
Where digital meets human.
We don’t believe that the skills or mindset needed to be amazing entrepreneurs in or outside a company should be limited to a few people.
Our mission is to empower the world with startup thinking and skills needed to create the future and deliver meaningful impact to society and the environment. We deliver this by empowering talent with the critical skills for the future: complex problem solving, critical thinking, and creativity, along with the tools and mindset to experiment and innovate. Our no-bull approach is straightforward, leverages proven methodologies and is designed to take you from idea to launch as successfully and quickly as possible.
Our team is made up of people who have worked both in the corporate arena as well as startups. We know from personal experience what it’s like to go through the journey. We’ve also witnessed the underbelly of the startup world; people promising too much, fake shortcuts and unachievable dreams.
We wanted to build a movement of entrepreneurship that was based on driving real value, not making false promises. That does exactly what it says on the tin. That is fun. Engaging. But most of all is powerful.
