Our approach

Design thinking is an innovation technique that may help startups find and test ideas quickly.

Design thinking is vital for startups to develop new products focused on solving the problems and “pain” of their target audience.

We invite foreign experts to conduct seminars on this topic.

Researching and “development” of clients, custdev, is the main task of startups in our acceleration programs.

Our startups regularly conduct problem and solution interviews, study the needs and “pains” of customers, and test their prototypes on real people/businesses.

We work with startups in acceleration programs according to the Lean Startup methodology.

Startups need to be as flexible as possible, learn from their own mistakes, quickly test hypotheses, and, based on testing and receiving feedback from the target audience, make changes to the MVP.

An important part of our acceleration programs is testing hypotheses, developing MVPs, and getting feedback from customers.
