We help clients develop innovative new projects, products and business ventures. Occasionally this requires outside support for research and development (R&D), but mostly for the Sales and Marketing effort to succeed in taking new products to market.
Some examples of funded projects:
ComicReply
Produced a Comics Contest prototype and customized for a client as part of a successful project – led to funding to develop a generic SAAS Platform for Remix Contests with support from the Canada Media Fund, IRAP, OCE with George Brown College (each to develop specific features), and OMDC IDM Export Fund.
Ivory Digital Denture
Produced project plans, user interface designs and database portion of a new way to fabricate dentures with 3D scanning, custom software, and 3D printing – led to participation in two startup programs and a FedDev matching grant.
Umpires Media
While producing a software product also created marketing materials and investment presentations that were used to pitch at Always On’s Silicon Valley Innovation Summits and other venues.
Women’s Art Resource Centre (WARC)
Produced technical specs for an online exhibit platform as part of a Heritage Canada grant application, which was approved, and then we built it.
Clean Freak Patrol
Produced most marketing materials for the startup healthcare manufacturer, including distribution pitches and investment kit – raised major investment and distribution at 1,000 Shoppers Drug Mart locations across Canada.
