Mission
We’re on a mission to raise the bar on modern productivity and collaboration tools. We’re working on a suite of products that bring together the cool stuff across your devices to play together nicely and make you smarter and more productive. In short, we’re re-imagining the way we interact with the data across our devices.
Once we exit stealth mode, we’ll be able to introduce more detail about our products and ideas to the public. What we’re currently working on is just the tip of the iceberg of the many exciting things to come from the Innovation Studio.
Description
Ivy Softworks is building a new model for venture capital and entrepreneurship. Our Innovation Studio creates an exceptional environment for innovators to create lasting relationships, develop multiple ideas and take calculated risks. We’re made up of a diverse group of entrepreneurially-minded engineers, that bring a unique set of experiences and expertise to our team. The model we have built affords us the flexibility and excitement of an early-stage startup environment without the funding challenges or all-or-nothing risk that comes from a singular product focus.
Additionally, the Innovation Studio is designed to curate a new breed of entrepreneur. We’re not looking to just teach technical skills, but nurture the ability to innovate and build businesses in our community. Success in our innovation studio is creating ideas that are on the path to be spun off into their own companies within a few years. We hope the innovation studio serves as an apprenticeship of sorts for a group of smart men and women to improve their talent for building businesses in our local Seattle community. We’re a smart, social, and passionate team, looking for other fearless adventurers to join us on our journey.
