Tomorrow’s innovations: Reflections on CES 2025
Michael Lang and Edward Philip report from CES 2025, where AI dominated the show floor, built into products from autonomous robots to smart home appliances.
Start-ups
We combine strategy and engineering to help new ventures build products that scale, launch sooner and earn investors’ confidence. Then we help you build the team to run it.
Who we work with
Tech, health, fintech and product start-ups.
Tech
Early-stage technology companies need reliable product architecture and a clear roadmap. We help founders with scalable platform design, engineering sprints and performance testing that match what investors expect.
Health
In a regulated sector, compliance and credibility come first. We help health ventures build secure systems and compliant data flows and get to market sooner, without cutting corners on quality or privacy.
Fintech
Financial start-ups have to balance new ideas with oversight. We design resilient architecture, strengthen security controls and build payment and analytics platforms that regulators and partners can trust.
Product
We provide end-to-end product engineering, from design to deployment and from first build to platform scale, so you release faster without a rewrite later.
Case study · Clik2pay
Bringing a bank-to-bank payment platform to market with Clik2pay
Clik2pay set out to let people pay bills straight from their bank accounts, in a crowded market where security decides who wins. We built and launched the platform with them, then helped them build the team that runs it today.
- Real time
- Bill payments made directly from customers’ bank accounts
- One team
- Electric Mind and Clik2pay developers working side by side
- In-house
- The product delivery capability Clik2pay owns today, from pipeline to platform

Questions
What founders ask us.
What do you do for start-ups?
Product architecture, engineering, security and data, from the first build to scale. We build turnkey or co-team with your developers, and help you grow your own team, as we did with Clik2pay and ProWire.
Why think about security this early?
Start-ups often hold sensitive data before they have mature defences. Planning security early protects your reputation, keeps you compliant and avoids breaches that shake customer and investor confidence.
How does a data strategy help a start-up grow?
Accurate data shows how the product performs, how customers behave and what marketing works. It supports better forecasts, quicker pivots and clear reporting to investors and partners.
