BUSINESS MADE FUN. Ingen startar företag för att få jobba med ekonomiadministration. Den är ett nödvändigt ont som stjäl tid och resurser från kärnverksamheten. Med Wint är den tiden förbi. Mindre av det tråkiga, innebär mer av det roliga. LÄGG TID PÅ DET SOM SPELAR ROLL. Wint trollar bort ditt bokföringsarbete och frigör din tid. Små bolag slipper lägga resurser på extern ekonomiadministration. På större bolag kan ekonomer och ekonomiavdelningar ta mer strategiska och rådgivande roller. SÄG NEJ TILL TRÅKIGA MÅSTEN. Gå in på www.wint.se eller ring 010-19 90 500 så hjälper vi dig att komma igång.

Eicorn is a unique company in many ways, and hard to describe in just a few words. We are a startup-factory, developing in-house innovations destined to become independent companies as they mature. We are also a management consultancy company specialised in innovation, business strategy and change management, with some of the biggest companies in the Nordics as our clients. Regardless of our focus on proprietary venture creation or helping our fantastic clients succeed with their innovation and growth ambitions, we base what we do on a framework of evidence based methodologies that we call Enterprise Ignition™. This is what differentiates us most from other firms working with startups as well as corporate innovation and venturing. We work methodically to weed out unnecessary assumptions, popular beliefs, personal preference, and other non-factual origins of information that risk contaminating key decisions in innovation, business development and growth processes. Our people are well trained and experienced in this kind of thinking and acting, as well as in the art of blending a startup mentality with navigating the politics and processes of big corporations. We all work partly with our in-house innovation projects and startups, and partly within our clients’ organisations as intrapreneurs, innovators, strategists, business developers, change agents, program & interim managers, and more. We have found that Enterprise Ignition™ is a great tools to effectively bridge the startup-corporate gap, and work together as small and big to create shared value.
