Topic

As a venture studio, with skin in the game, Helix has been materially involved in getting a host of clients successfully from zero-to-one. We continuously refine and reinvest in our core-tech, business structures and are active about the type of work we pursue.

This is not a sales pitch.

This fireside chat is with a couple of Helix's UX, dev and strategy humans about the future of the software industry and start-ups.

From a tech perspective we are actively working on no/low-code tools so that AppDev is done by everyone. At the same time we are trying to give software engineering a much needed kick up the b'hind to move it from the current fad / fashion driven alchemy to a true engineering discipline.

From a business structures perspective Helix has an interesting model around reduced fees for equity and how we gain and distribute equity to members of the collective. We are happy to have a broad ranging chat. Including sharing your journey which brought us to the current business structure, perspective and efforts to fix dysfunction areas of the industry & our insights comparing equity and token based funding.

If you are a Founder, UX practitioner or Programmer just getting into the industry or a serial investor, designer or veteran engineer with that uneasy feeling that things should be different this is the chat for you.
