Bring a problem.
Build toward a market.

Have an industry problem or product idea? Bring it to MDCA. We work with selected partners to shape the concept and develop software they can take to market, operate, and grow.

This is a product-development partnership for people prepared to bring industry knowledge and lead the commercial path. MDCA’s original products, research, and technology remain central to the venture studio; each collaboration is considered on its own merits.

A CLEAR STARTING POINT

From opportunity to operation

We first assess the problem, product potential, partner fit, and each side’s role. Scope, responsibilities, ownership, and commercial terms are discussed and agreed individually before development begins.

  1. 01

    Bring the problem

    Share the industry challenge, the people affected, and what a better outcome could look like. Early ideas are welcome.

  2. 02

    Shape the product

    Work with Markus and MDCA to explore the concept, define the product direction, and plan the software architecture.

  3. 03

    Develop the software

    Build and refine the technology around the agreed opportunity, keeping the intended users and path to market in view.

  4. 04

    Take it to market

    The partner leads commercialization and ongoing operations, then works to grow the product and business.

MDCA’s participation may include an ownership interest. Ownership, responsibilities, and commercial terms are negotiated for each project; no standard arrangement is implied.
