Focus

How we decide what to work on.

Trends & Technologies

Progress need focus

There is a limit to our capacity. Our studio is like a boutique of specialists in venture creation. Naturally we need to make choices. Our game plan is not focused on how many startups we can do, but on how much we can do with attention. Valuing quality over quantity.

Industries
