Startups
Working with startups has always been a big part of our work. We are not just teaching, mentoring and looking for new opportunities for them but we also can learn a lot. About new technologies, how to react fast to the change on the market, what lean really means and on how to make the inner team like a part of the family.
It is all of that and their ability to change, is why companies are very interested in working with startups in any capacity. Because of that need we need to always be involved in different projects and the startup scene.
