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 4 elements - Product, Team, Traction, Insights. Founders are stretched thin—wearing many hats tirelessly seeking capital and talents to drive those 4 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.
Who we are
Comprising a team of integrated brand and product influencers, Zypsy expertly designs to the potential of the world's next-best companies. Our formulary processes strategically guide the discovery of startup identity, as well as next-level design needs associated with embedded teams at scaling companies.
We work as an integrated team, providing startups with mainstay access to the design support essential to success—like a valued co-founder with aligned incentives and mutual commitment to growth.
Zypsy is dedicated to the success of our startup partners and the elevation of their Product Market Fit.
