INNOVATIVE PROCESS
Speed to Market:
There are three key inflection points in the development of any technology. Proof of Concept: getting to a minimum viable product to test the assumptions of the business. Proof of Value: proving that the technology has enough value to charge a fair market value. Proof of Model: proving that the technology can scale and grow in a manner to create value for the Founders.
Archon’s basic difference is we realize anybody can think outside the box of budget, time and market validation. The reason 1 out of 10 technology ventures see true start-up potential is not because 9 of 10 founders have bad ideas.
It is because 9 out of 10 founders run out of time and money before they validate their business.
We think inside the box of time, money and energy. We leverage a code bank of 5 years of development to recreate less and validate more in less time with less investment.
What you Really Need:
It is not just about software development. You can go to any consulting firm, have them build your widget and they will use words like Agile Development, MVP, Software Testing, Stacks, Scope Creep, Change Orders etc.
Confused and Overwhelmed but what you really need is:
1. Ideation
2. Category Creation
3. Budgeting
4. Market Validation
5. Business Model Development and Testing
6. MVP Validation
Don’t worry our stack stacks up.
What you Really Want:
The best way to measure the success of your development partner is the speed and budget in which you get your first user, first subscriber and first dollar.
It’s about maximizing time, money and energy to create a business that leverages technology to create value
​
Our Why:
Archon believes in entrepreneurs, innovation and disruption. We believe the best businesses don’t exist yet, that we see several more Ubers, Googles and Facebooks in our lifetime.
We believe that it's not about disruptive technology but disruptive business models.
Our How:
IPA = Incubator, Platform and Accelerator
Archon has three basic advantages over the normal consulting firm. We have taken the best of the west coast incubator think tanks, the leverage of 5 years of code base in the mobile development environment and the real world business acumen that has launched 3 successful businesses in the mobile web.
These three dynamics allow us to work with innovators, entrepreneurs and founders to go from app development to customer development in 1/3 the time and cost of the traditional incubator or development firm.
Our What:
We don’t just build apps. We build companies. If it takes a village to raise a child, then it takes an entire ecosystem to build a business.
We don’t just build software that works. We build business models that allows the founders to get their value to the market.
