Why we started
Early stage startups are vulnerable. Many represent great promise and potential yet, majority of startups fail due to the lack of talents and expertise in the early days when it's the most critical.
All startups are evaluated on 3 elements - Product, Team, Traction. Founders are stretched thin—wearing many hats tirelessly seeking capital and talents to drive those 3 elements.
But quality agencies are out of reach and individual designers— in-house or freelance— lack the wide range of expertise needed to meet the evolving & embedded needs of a scaling company.
Zypsy was born with the belief that combining product & brand building expertise with early-stage investment principles, we can take a startup from obscurity to scale.
