OUR STORY

Once upon a time, a group of friends worked together as part of a corporate team during the dot com boom. The group consisted of subject-matter experts in their individual business fields. Together, they became effective at evaluating new technologies and business models from a diverse set of perspectives. Their work started getting noticed by other organizations and that is when it all started.
