Calder’s process
Calder has been providing design and development services at the very beginning of the startup. We engaged at the first steps and assisted with business consulting, defining tools, platforms and instruments that may be used in the startup. The nature of a start-up is there are no normal operations, regular flows, people who had been doing this work before with defined processes.
