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 learn a lot ourselves! About new technologies, how to react fast to the change on the market, what lean really means and how to make the inner team live like part of a family.

It is all of that and their ability to change, that “traditional” companies are (or should be) very interested in working with startups in any capacity. Because of that necessity we need to always be involved in different projects and the startup scene. This way a big part of our overall corporate transformation is in connecting corporates to startups with a goal to make a successful business together.
