Driven by Innovation & Integrity
The Founding Minds
Story
Founding Minds started as a technology incubator in 2008. The goal was to build an organization that helps companies rapidly incubate new technologies and create solutions.
Through the years, we have helped incubate both technologies and products for our customers, driven IP creation exercises, funded several startup and lead process initiatives. We have built a loyal customer and employee base that resonates with our core values – agility, innovation, honesty, openness and a greater purpose in life.
Today most of our customers are long term partners for who we continue to build new products and services and maintain their roadmaps.
We are not just a software development company for them, but a sounding board for ideas, a lab to innovate new solutions and their product development extension.
We are truly committed to our employees. They are who we are. We attract like minded talented people who are driven by a sense of innovation but also integrity and honesty.
We value and provide the space for balance in life and to pursue individual aspirations. We are blessed and honored by their loyalty and commitment to us.
CORE VALUES AT FOUNDING MINDS
What do we
Stand for?
Our company was built on the foundation that powerful minds can help shape our desired future. We focus on brand building through our tactical product development.
Product Incubation
Ideas are worthless without execution; execution is pointless without the ideas.
Agile Development
We follow an excution-based model and not a planning-and-control-biased model.
People-First Approach
We involve the customers at every stage of product development.
Committed to Excellence
Continuous process and technical improvement, to ensure that we always deliver the best to our clients.
Positive Working Relationships
We follow through on our commitments to make sure that there are lesser conflicts and more work efficiency.
Open Communication
We ensure the flow of communication by holding regular, informal get-togethers, and retrospectives to raise concerns.
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
Your Business
Founding Minds solution
The whole process was seamless
Founding Minds played a very significant role in building and scaling our offshore presence as a trusted partner. Starting right from understanding our business model, arriving at the resource needs and then building the team and the release cadence; we did not feel for one moment that we were working with an external entity – the whole process was seamless. It is rare that I have seen a partner who was able to integrate so well with our aspirations and then help us realize those with thoughtful and timely execution.
I recommend the services of Founding Minds wholeheartedly to entrepreneurs who are looking to establish or scale their product development capabilities.
