Growth Mindset
People who think big, act fast, and iterate with intelligenceComplete Skill set
The right growth team for each stage of idea developmentIterative Execution
An experience- and data-driven execution frameworkThe U+ Portfolio Approach to Innovation
The U+Method enables us to determine whether and where a product fits in the market, create a learning organization to continue iterations, and, ultimately, drive profitability.
