Parenthood & Corporate Innovation

Two Sides of the Same Coin?

We're a full-stack engineering and innovation company. We understand the importance of working together in a cross-functional team. We have built a small team with rock stars from multiple backgrounds. We call ourselves a "full-stack engineering team". We don't just mean full-stack software engineering, but the whole spectrum of engineering: software, electronics, mechanical systems, design, marketing, and even a sprinkle of AI technology. We even have a physicist and marketing gal on our team!

The decision of a business to go and invest in creating new technology is kind of like a business deciding to have another baby. Just as parenthood requires prioritizing, investing time and resources, and taking risks, corporate innovation requires a willingness to approach decisions with a clear vision and a willingness to commit to the process. Both paths require a willingness to prioritize, invest, and take risks. If you don't prioritize as a parent your life will be taken over and controlled by external factors. Lack of prioritizing has killed more than one business. Having kids and attempting corporate innovation can lead to personal and professional growth, but they also involve uncertainty and potentially massive distractions.

When it comes to corporate innovation, developing a new product or technology or improving an existing may require deep and cross-functional engineering expertise. Streamlining processes, conducting market research, and custom product development can help companies stay ahead of the curve, anticipate market trends, and differentiate themselves from competitors.

Similarly, parenthood can be a catalyst for personal growth and change, just as corporate innovation can be a catalyst for business growth and evolution. Pursuing new ideas and products can help individuals and businesses stay ahead of the curve, anticipate market trends, and differentiate themselves from competitors. It can also lead to new revenue streams and increased profitability.

The success of both parenthood and corporate innovation depends on being in motion, having a clear vision of the desired outcome, and committing to the process. In both cases, there is no coasting or resting on one’s laurels. "There is no neutrality. You’re either getting better or you’re getting worse.”

Whether you choose to become a parent or you're leading corporate innovation, the key is to approach your decision with a clear head and consider both the risks and rewards involved. Both paths require intense prioritization, investment, and risk-taking. Both can lead to personal and professional growth, but they also involve total uncertainty and are super distracting. The good news is that we are here to help! You can use us as leverage and take advantage of our expertise in full-stack engineering and innovation. You can achieve your unique goals and stay ahead of the curve.
