Why Pirates

We strongly believe that all great businesses are built by a real skunkworks, scrappy, small team. 

We are the skunkworks team for our enterprise clients. 

 

The Pirates Way

It's more fun to be a pirate than join the navy

Steve Jobs laid out the Pirates philosophy to motivate a small team inside Apple to romanticize 80-hour work weeks and frustrating development schedules in the context of being renegades against the establishment.

We couldn't think of a better metaphor to capture the spirit of what we do.

 

The Old Vs the New

 

Innovation is hard

The old way of using consultants, dev shops, agencies, design studios is expensive, inefficient and seldom leads to transformative businesses. 

The new Pirates way of using leading startups helps you transform your business in significant ways while costing a fraction of the cost of the old way. 

 

Disruptive Innovation

 

Disruptive innovation describes a process by which a product or service takes root initially in simple applications at the bottom of a market and then relentlessly moves up market, eventually displacing established competitors.

Small startups beat large enterprises in building disruptive new businesses. 

We use the principles of Disruptive Innovation with our platform of leading startups to build market busting new businesses for our clients.

 

The Network Effect

 

Network of experts

The normal Pirates engagement model involves one startup leading the engagement but instead of working in isolation, the startup works with the entire community of startups being involved in the strategy, design, product development and brand building for the client. 

Why hire MBAs from a consulting firm when you can put an entire community of startups to work for you?!
