The all too familiar story of entrepreneurs starting out in a garage is a nice narrative, but it is often misleading. Long before you and I are aware of a startup, many different people from many different places in many different disciplines need to get involved. In the very early stages, founders of these future success stories have the vision, drive, and mentorship required to get a product out the door as quickly as possible. Hiring a team internally is one way, but typically it is more cost effective, in terms of opportunity and HR resourcing, to bring on technical consultants. These consultants are the actual doers. They are the ones "in the garage" breaking things, tinkering, and creating. They are the ones who turn a vision into reality. At Intercreate, we are those consultants.Intercreate has a passion for product execution and development. To us, it is just as much about the journey as it is about the destination. We strive to create products effectively for founders, while taking every opportunity to learn new skills and grow professionally.We are a tight knit team out to change the world in the way we know best - making smarter products to improve people and the planet. We are always on the hunt for the latest talent. Whether that be a firmware or electrical engineer, a program manager or someone for a role we haven't defined yet. As long as you are passionate, collaborative, inclusive and a master of your craft then we want to hear from you.
