technologies in the industrial and consumer Internet of things. We are a
full-stack team: hardware and software engineers, data scientists, user
experience researchers and designers, venture developers, and
strategists. Our cross-functional project teams take a user-centric
approach to identifying opportunity areas in particular research areas
that inform ideation sessions. Solutions that evolve from these sessions
are quickly prototyped and vetted as pilots with clients, investors,
and potential partners. Dedicated to lean development and a sprint
spirit, we expect research kick-off to venture spin-out to take a matter
of a few months.
