A new way for companies to build products that better serve their customers.
As an engineer today, it's never been easier to build software products.
So why are early stage companies with solid business plans still stuck with the same options from 15 years ago?
The obvious options.
Raise venture capital. Likely need technical co-founding team and/or product in market with sales.
Find a CTO to build the product. They’ll need salary and most likely aren’t fit to build the whole product.
Hire a Dev shop. Bootstrapping this is expensive and they need to be able to translate your vision into technical requirements so you don’t waste money building something that doesn’t work.
All of these options are suboptimal because they don't address one of the most important challenges: How to deliver products that create value.

it takes a village
Every startup needs software but not every startup needs a full-time engineering team.
How is this possible?
Our platform standardizes building blocks for assembling modern apps by removing translation headaches between engineering, product UX, and founders.
At villagers, when a founder needs a feature, they can point directly to a modular block (called a villagers product component). This product component is a known entity with design rules, parameters, and code snippets. Using k'mnd, founders can access a growing library of product components.
The founder can use k'mnd to view and touch the progress of the features in their app. They can see exactly how engineering has assembled these product components without having to review code. They can communicate with product design and engineering using a common language to delegate and drive their product assembly.
Whether you’re technical or not, have already hired engineers or not -- we have solutions to fit your company's stage.

Get Started
having identified some paths forward, we'll move on to the hard question: how are you going to acquire paying customers?
we'll spend time with you to figure out growth and revenue projections, factoring in how these would be affected by different feature sets or go-to-market strategies
at this point, we have enough information to decide whether we're in a position to cover the cost of your product development
we aim to partner with as many founders as possible, but we do need to be selective in order to survive and keep the party going
if we are not able to partner at this time, we will suggest concrete steps you can take, and goals that, if achieved, could make the difference – and we'll stay in touch regularly to see how you're getting on
