Our Story.

Amidst the blockchain hype of 2017, we took a unique and practical approach.

We worked with clients to sprint prototypes, testing viability and proof of concept. We trained them, we empowered them, a week later we left them. Our happy clients now knew what this new tech could do for them.

This story still captures our spirit today. We’re action oriented, we’re do-ers, we target impact on the ground, not big documents and endless engagements.

Our name speaks to a coming together of Tech, People and Culture. Even the hardest, deep rooted social, environmental and business problems can be tackled when these three forces come together.

How we're
different.

We are one of a new breed of consultants, putting our head, heart and guts to work for our clients. This means we’re experts in our fields, we work with purpose and we take on even the hardest, most deep rooted problems.

No cut-and-paste

We get on the ground to truly understand.
We think about where tech is used, as much as tech itself.

No ego

We’re here to solve problems, not to show we’re clever.
Our docs are short, our thinking practical.

Sweet goodbyes

Solve problems then move on.
We don’t want to sustain clients endlessly.
