We help mature companies accomplish their innovation ambitions — with the speed and passion of a startup!
We’re an agency made up of entrepreneurs, designers and technologists who do two things for our clients: validate new business opportunities, and develop digital products and services.
You have a new business opportunity at hand. We can help you validate it before you make a big investment decision to go for the opportunity.
You've read the innovation books. You know what you should be doing at the early idea stage – talking to real customers, building MVPs, experimenting, testing risky assumptions, and iterating your way to something that works.
Of course, you don't have the time to actually do those things. Fear not – we will do it all for you, or with you.
You want to build a digital product for a new customer group. Or a webapp for your existing customers. Or an internal tool to replace that monster of an Excel sheet that everyone hates to use.
But you don't want to spend 18 months and 6 developers on it, because your devs are (always) busy dealing with the backlog of the core business.
We can help you build it much faster, using awesome lowcode tools like Appfarm, Bubble and Webflow.
We follow these four working principles in all our projects.
We treat client projects as if they were our own startups. This means we will hunt for opportunities both within and outside the project’s scope, and do stuff that will increase the chance of success without necessarily asking in advance.
We test commercial hypotheses as early and realistically as possible, and only build what customers and users actually want (to pay for).
We cannot predict what will work in advance – so we obsessively test, learn and iterate, in all stages of a project. More iterations means more learning, which means better results. Simple (but not easy).
We're hyper aware of how incentives drive behaviour. We are skeptical of the traditional consulting model where the consultant's incentive is to spend as many hours as possible instead of reaching a desired result as quickly as possible. We'd rather have aligned incentives with our customers, and we're happy to share both risk and upside in client projects whenever possible.
Braver is made up of entrepreneurs, strategic advisors, designers, technologists and business developers – all united by a shared entrepreneurial spirit.
Braver as a workplace is not for everyone. But it’s perfect for some.
Where you choose to work affects your daily life more than almost any other choice you make in life. Therefore, you should do what you can to find a workplace that suits you, your interests, and your goals for the future.
Many workplaces are quite OK for most people. That's not the case with Braver. We are a company that definitely does not suit everyone, but for some types of people, the match can be absolutely perfect.
Here are a couple of things that make Braver a bit different from most other workplaces.
Read through these, and you will quickly understand whether this could be a suitable workplace for you or not.
We decide for ourselves
We show our employees a ridiculous amount of trust
We are curious about the future
We aim to be as honest as possible, as often as possible
We have a damn long perspective on everything we do.
