This is a really cool group! I read about it by the rumors on the Gphone, and as I’m passionated by design I went on the website. They do a great job!

I started to think that is cool that big firm are outsourcig design to this work group, and that doesn’t happen in Italy where it’s very hard to find them. But I clicked on “Who we are” and found out that it’s based in San Francisco CA, and in Padova, ITALY!

No Way!

Reading this article I like very much the conclusions:

Lessons for entrepreneurs;

• Never stop innovating
• Build a well rounded management team early
• Value sales and marketing talent as much as technical talent
• React quickly to disruptive technologies or business models
• Don’t be too proud to imitate when it makes sense
