The studio focuses on creating positive-impact solutions by setting ambitious goals, valuing honesty and transparency, and working in close-knit teams. They employ a 'Scan. Build. Grow.' methodology combining product design, development, strategy, and lean startup principles. The studio has transitioned to a more flexible, hands-on approach focusing on AI-first product development while maintaining collaboration with corporate partners and independent startups.
