SwipeGuide is on a mission to SIMPLIFY the world by making any new
task easier to do. One user manual, one work instruction at a time. To
do so we’re developing an intuitive cloud software service which allows
manufacturers, healthcare institutions and other companies to create,
edit and share visual and interactive step-by-step instructions for
real-time use on multiple types of devices.
We offer our customers access to our platform and provide supportive
services through our InstructionLAB. With our vision to the future we
focus on the platform as our main business model. Together with Philips
and Eneco as launching customers we are developing the offering for
enterprises and for smaller customers.
Our team
We’re based out of B.2 in Amsterdam and our InstructionLAB holds
office at the Science Park that is part of the University of Twente. We
are an early starter that is growing out of a proof of concept phase and
is rolling out the platform to become production ready. We are
exploring our business model and have a seed funding that enables us to
do this exploratory work.
Our team consists out of two founders, sales/marketing and our first
step in internal development. We have been using outsourcing for
development work but are moving this internally in order to offer the
best service to our customers and ensure future developments. We do not
tend to have a 9 to 5 mentality and tend to work dynamically on- and
off-site at our offices. Expect a casual and internationally oriented
team
