Prototyping turns
uncertainty into

momentum

Big ideas stumble on three familiar roadblocks: no proof, no believers, no energy. Prototyping breaks through each of these — fast, structured, and human-centered.

What we believe

The skill corporates don’t have. But innovation desperately needs.

In most organizations, prototyping is handled either by designers or engineers. Designers tend to craft polished concepts and visuals, while engineers focus on architecture, features and functionality.

Prototypers are different. They combine both disciplines, but at a different level of maturity and with a distinct purpose. They don't aim for perfection regarding design and features, but for the most efficient learning approach.

That ability to build semi-functional, well-crafted prototypes for specific controlled experiments is rare in most corporations. It demands a unique blend of design, visualisation, engineering, experimentation and business model understanding. And of course, a deep understanding of the people involved in creating and experiencing such prototypes.

That’s exactly where we are good at!

After years of prototyping inside complex corporate environments, I’ve seen one pattern again and again: once humans can see and touch an idea, everything changes.

What we do

It's not the idea
that's the problem.
It's everything around it.

As an Innovation Manager, you’re expected to create the future. And there are three familiar roadblocks that stand in your way: you don’t know if the idea will really work, stakeholders don’t fully believe in your vision, and your team isn’t fully commited.

What we do in Prototyping is more than mockups. We enable you to test desirability, viability, and feasibility early through real experiments, give stakeholders something tangible they can react to and believe in, and align your team around a shared, motivating vision. Instead of debating slides in endless meetings, you launch real experiments and let data and behavior guide your next step.

We are experts in learning

We don’t build prototypes for the sake of it. We build them to learn. From smoke tests to fake doors to concierge experiments, we design the right setup to generate real evidence, reduce uncertainty, and validate critical assumptions early on.

We know the human side of prototyping

Prototyping isn’t just about design. It’s about people. We know how prototypes shape team dynamics: they align perspectives, spark motivation, surface conflicts early, and build momentum. We help teams navigate this human layer with intention.

We deliver prototypes very, very fast

Innovation doesn’t wait. Neither do we. Our streamlined prototyping processes let us go from idea to tangible prototype in days, not months — so you can learn, adapt, and keep moving.

We bring structure to the chaos

Innovation is messy by nature. But it doesn’t have to be chaotic. We know which questions to ask about your business model and use our proven prototyping frameworks, formats, and tools to turn that into the right prototype.

The notion that innovative teams generate innovative prototypes is giving way to a recognition that innovative prototypes are the focus for generating innovative teams.
