We turn Ideas into products

Our focus is on cultivating an innovative culture and developing cutting-edge products that strengthen the community.

Technical expertise
We have worked in the technology industry creating new products for over 35 years from concept through production. We have developed small electronic widgets to complex nationwide network communications systems. Our expertise focuses on products that need custom hardware and/or software along with a technical challenge we can participate in solving.
Applied research
Applied research involves solving a complex technical problem that is an enabler for a specific application. Sometimes that is overcoming a size constraint. Sometimes it is power, and sometimes it is inventing a device that does something that has not been previously done with electronics. We have decades fo experience across hundreds of projects and product solving problems and building systems that advance and improive our lives. Whether it be managing communications in our air traffic control system, helping our military train, or helping your beloved pet stay healthy, we are focused on the goal of improving people's lives.
From the beginning
It starts with what we call an "inspired insight". This is viewing an area of life differently and conceptualizing that it can be done a better way. This is the beginning. This is where the excitement and adventure is. That inspiration can come from your job, life, driving down the road, or the proverbial singing in the shower. We are here to help you through the process of converting that insight into a product in the market.
Not an incubator
We would not consider ourselves a start-up incubator. Our clients are typically successful commercial businesses or business people that want to productize an idea. They're usually experts in the domain, and we come alongside to build a product that significantly increases their durable competitive advantage. We build lasting projects, products, and systems. Our goal is long-term relationships with thriving companies or agencies that create a long list of successful endeavors, employ people and are anchors in their community. We hope to still be working together 20 years from now when you have a $100M+ enerprise.
