Changes

Some people love it, some people hate it but we all know that constant change is life. You are not alone, at Beta we have been working hard in a rapidly changing economy. If you have followed Beta from the start, or even supported us, you have seen us transition over the last year and a half. For those just tuning in, here is the rundown.

1. Our original goal was to furnish a prototype shop and raise enough money to put down some floors and purchase some fundamental tooling. Thanks to Kickstarter and all our backers we got the funding to do that.

2. Once the funding arrived, so did change. Our space was under discussion of being sold. The funding for the floors had to be scratched, and reserved for the move. While the space worked out for the first eleven months, it was apparent beta had to find a new home.

3. Upon finding a new space with two amazing roommates (props to Moss) Beta was able to setup a viable prototype shop, shortly followed by opening its doors via the web. From Beta’s interactions with our new clients, we realized how much of a disadvantage startups, entrepreneurs, and small business were having developing new revenue models through products or services. Ahem.. change?

4. Here we are! Always in motion, in constant ‘beta’, now with some new features, services and solutions. Beta is a design blog + think tank x prototype lab = problem solving collaborative awesomeness. We are Industrial and Interaction Designers working with entrepreneurs and startups who have the passion for making big ideas happen, launching innovative products and changing the way we do business.
