Startups and New Products

You have an idea and are ready to leap forward. But you need someone who knows how to write & deploy that first line of code. Together, we can turn your vision into a tangible product.

Technology Assessments

How is your team doing? Are you building with quality in mind? If you need clarity, diligence or an assessment, together we can get to the heart of those answers.

Advisory

When you hire an advisor on retainer – help is just a phone, email or chat message away. No question is too big or too small. You don't need help everyday, but you can have guidance at those key moments when it matters.

MixLab™ alone was a huge innovation. There's no competitor that we know of that has a similar feature available to creators, YouTubers, and small businesses … Sam and the rest of the team’s understanding of music helped them really knock it out of the park.
