Who we Help

Since our inception, we have helped a wide range of companies from startups to $1B plus companies transform their businesses through more focused New Product Development (NPD) and more efficient Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). A company that can benefit the most from our services should have one or more of the following characteristics:

  • Be a software product and/or services company
  • Have unmet potential for growth in new markets and new products
  • Want to develop a more scaleable and cost effective process framework and infrastructure for developing and delivering their products
  • Need to develop and train team members to reach desired goals
  • Recognize the need for skilled new product development professionals that can operate at both executive and operational team levels

We also help technology R&D companies who have developed software technologies through programs such as the Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs commercialize those technologies. Our framework can help them establish the organizational infrastructure and processes they need to succeed whether their intent is to license, partner, or fully develop the product on their own.
