Our Mission: Building Durable Startups
Generalist by Default
Our diverse backgrounds and broad experiences expose us to wide array of pain points.
Solutions for Problems
We seek to solve problem statements with technology, rather than the reverese.
Capital Efficient
We test, learn and build efficiently with modern tools and specialized talent.
DNAi
A.I. is core to everything at E.I. as the engine of the next industrial revolution.
How we do it
Idea generation & Validation
We build on our past experiences and observations to create products and solutions that we wish existed to solve clear and present pain points.
We talk to customers for insights on how products should make their lives better. We distill these insights for concepting viable solutions that can sustain themselves with low capital intensity.
Prototyping & Testing
We accelerate development using modern developer and design tools to get tangible mockups in front of target users.
We iterate quickly to distill foundational insights for product-market need before committing to build.
Building & Learning
With AI tools and distributed talent, we efficiently streamline development, refine business models, and hone the product to ship for the broad target market.
Launching
Our broad scope allows us to build small scale products as well as large platforms.
Depending on the market opportunity, we may run the products lean and standalone in a portfolio, or may seek a larger and more impactful opportunity with funding behind it.
We are builders, tinkerers, thinkers, creators, inventors and doers. We always have “an itch to scratch”, love magic and live without regrets.
