In keeping with that, Roadmapping is a standalone service. Unlike most Portland app developers, we don’t bake Roadmapping into our development service. Roadmapping is an isolated workshop, and only after completing the Roadmapping process can we decide to move forward with development.
We separate Roadmapping from development because it makes the entire process more honest. Structuring it separately, we have the freedom to earnestly investigate the validity of the mobile app. If we decide it is worth building, you can move into development with confidence. And if we find the opposite, you still have the flexibility to pivot.
Roadmapping is our flagship service, and we’ve run more than 300 Roadmapping sessions over the years. Roadmapping alumni have gone on to found successful companies, build user bases numbering in the millions, and secure exits for tens of millions of dollars. In fact, 18% of Roadmapping alumni raise more than $250,000 in pre-product seed capital. That makes Roadmapping alumni 2,600% more likely to secure funding than the average startup.
And if you want a little more proof, just hear what Tony Robbins had to say about our app design and development process:
We structure Roadmapping this way because it makes the process more honest. If you approach discovery as a precursor to development, you’re likely to find the answers you’re already looking for – namely, that yes, this is worth building. Offering Roadmapping as a separate, standalone engagement gives us the freedom to ask questions about the product in earnest. And, because the engagement is low-risk, there’s still time to pivot if we decide the product isn’t well-suited to the market.
“I reviewed the app and it’s totally spectacular. The approach that you took and the guidance you provided throughout the Rootstrap process has been phenomenal. I’m looking forward to continuing as partners!”
