Hackathons – We also run hackathons, (design sprint-like events); often where we bring together experts from different fields to collaborate and solve a particular problem. The goal of a hackathon is to create a functioning prototype by the end of the event.

Design Sprints – Design Sprint is a five-day process for answering critical business questions through design, prototyping, and testing ideas with customers. It is useful when re-designing new processes and launching new products. Working together in a sprint, you can shortcut the endless debate cycle and compress months of time into a single week.

Instead of waiting to launch a minimal product to understand if an idea is any good, you’ll get clear data from a realistic prototype. The sprint gives you a superpower: You can fast-forward into the future to see your finished product and customer reactions, before making expensive commitments.
