Build for the Future
The world is changing faster than ever before, and business is no exception. Venerable industries are threatened as technology disrupts and software “eats the world.” Yet those that embrace change are thriving, building bigger, better, faster, and stronger products than ever before. You are helping to lead the charge; we can help you build on your past successes and prepare for the future. Maven connects leaders at industrial companies with the technical and business expertise they need to stay ahead. We bring the world’s largest pool of on-demand manufacturing, supply chain, engineering, and materials expertise to your fingertips.
Streamline Manufacturing
With former emerging markets maturing and new markets opening, how do you balance manufacturing cost, quality, time-to-market, and capacity? Use our platform to find the on-the-ground manufacturing expertise and local partners you need to ensure you can deliver.
Extend Product Lifetimes
Nothing lasts for ever, but could it last a bit longer? Should you finally put that old product on the shelf, or is there a new application for it yet to be discovered? Chances are there is, and Maven can help you find out. Conduct a quick landscaping study to find new ways of using what you’ve already designed and built.
Case Studies
Choose the Right Partners
They have a hot new product or technology. You have an established customer base and complementary products. But is it the right fit or are there better options?
