Domains & Sectors

Technical know-how involves best practices which are applicable to a wide range of sectors and domains. Here are some of those we have been involved with.

IOT

We have built systems with fleets of remote ‘edge computing’ devices deployed across the UK, backhauling their data streams to monitoring centers in the cloud. Such systems bring unique challenges including remote updates, version management, redundancy, communications and user experience.
Fintech

With the advent of open banking APIs, the Fintech scene has come alive with opportunities. Fintech products are generally more involved than products in other domains due to the high bar of regulation and the level of resilience and guarantees engineered into the systems. The Startup Factory has helped build a number of successful Fintech products and have members with pedigrees in the banking industry.
HealthTech

There is no other sector where technology can work for the greater good like in HealthTech and MedTech. We understand the nature and regulatory scrutiny of dealing with sensitive medical data, ensuring that data privacy and security are included in the core of any tech solutions. We are able to demystify the Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning concepts, and build cross functional data science and engineering teams to deliver practical AI/ML projects.
Lifestyle Apps

User experience is key to successful consumer mobile applications. We take time to understand your users’ narratives and develop natural and responsive user journeys that work seamlessly across multiple devices and in network blackspots integrating with external services and wearables to enrich the experience.
