Corner Case Technologies is on a mission to inspire digital transformation and give clients the power to create sustainable tech products and bring their vision to life without barriers.
We’re a group of creators, thinkers and doers who live by our values: growth, simplicity, passion and teamwork.
Tell us about yourself?
I did an Entrepreneurship and Innovation degree for my Master’s, and I was fascinated by the startup world, the fast-paced environment, and a completely different structure and approach to work that I hadn’t seen before. It gave me a sense of freedom and self-expression.
This made me join a very successful startup Depop in London. After that I joined my friends on the adventure to create a product studio which would help startups bring their vision to life through technology. This is how Corner Case Technologies was created.
If you could go back in time a year or two, what piece of advice would you give yourself?
Do not worry too much about things that I cannot control and focus on things I can change.
What problem does your business solve?
We help businesses build digital products that can scale in the most efficient and cost-effective way.
What is the inspiration behind your business?
We’ve seen a lot of stigmas in the market about development houses so we wanted to create a company that was able to not only implement clients’ requirements but also advice and consult our clients. On We love solving programming and product issues (aka corner cases).
What is your magic sauce?
We truly care about the work that we do and we hire the people that have the same attitude. We strongly live by our company values which creates a strong foundation to thrive.
What is the plan for the next 5 years? What do you want to achieve?
We have a vision to continue growing, maybe open another office in Europe, deepening relationships with our clients, nurturing our company culture, and sharpening our know how by employing the newest and better solutions for our clients.
What is the biggest challenge you’ve faced so far?
Running an agency always means juggling resources and balancing team capacity vs projects. This made us realise that stability means reaching a certain size of the company. Company growth in itself is a challenge which we’re tackling right now.
How do people get involved/buy into your vision?
We communicate our vision through different channels, including social media, we speak about it during events, conferences, fairs etc.
New clients hear about us from our existing clients. It’s easy to contact us directly via LinkedIn profile or just dropping us an email or visiting our website www.cornercasetech.com and filling in an inquiry form.
