What we do
We Build Companies, not just products
Invention & IP Advisory
We provide IP advisory, with our partner patent attorney firm or working alongside yours. We can do the engineering to invent your medical device and do more than just provide patent drawings; We will help you with the specification drafting and help position yourself in the competitive IP landscape.
Product Development Services
From initial ideas, we take your products from an initial napkin sketch, all the way through to providing detailed renders, innovative designs, functional prototypes, and then beyond through design freeze and from user needs all the way through to V&V studies. We're your partner to take you all the way.
Research & Development Services
We understand that the product development journey is not always a linear process, and science requires its own mindset of hypothesis driven, fast paced research. Some engineering firms will ask you for a specification. We will help you do the fundamental R&D to translate your scientific innovations into a product.
Startup Consulting Services
We get startups. They are hard. We've been there before. Think of us as your trusted mentor and advisor who can show you the ropes and help you through all your challenges, whether it's refining your pitch deck or applying for grants and putting your investor materials together, we've got your back.
Prototyping Capabilities
We have a range of in house and contracted prototyping services that we can offer, including but not limited to in house PCB fabrication, FDM and SLA printing, laser cutting and substrate preparation. We have capabilities in mechanical engineering, industrial design and electronics.
