Allegro
Marcato is approaching it’s first year anniversary – September 9th! And lest you think this means things are slowing down here, the exact opposite is true; in fact, there are several significant changes under way.
Announcing Marcato World HQ!
While much of our work is directly with client teams and is often on site, we found that our work often allows the flexibility to work remote and that home offices and coffee shops can be less than ideal for being able to focus and communicate. As you’ll learn in the next section, we also wanted to have a shared space we could use as we start pursuing more common projects together. We chose downtown Anoka as the location and we now have a fully armed and operational battle station. While the local amenities and 10 minute commute are certainly enjoyable, the best part is having a common place to work together.

Sneak Peak at Allegro
Agile coaching runs deep in the Marcato DNA, but so does using that methodology and our technical skills to build new products. With this in mind, we at Marcato have found that we have a unique combination of skills and experiences to be able to apply those principles to helping small startup organizations get from idea to proof of concept and well beyond. We understand when and how to establish Agile development practices light enough to serve the smallest of teams but capable enough to grow with your organization through later funding rounds. We also know how to use that hard won capital efficiently and will help expand your development capability to using low cost development resources as you move towards productizing your ideas.
Allegro Phase 1
Marcato is working closely with a new client still in stealth mode to test our new service offering by helping them to build out a demonstration of the core ideas for their new product and to support their partnering and fund raising efforts by providing a technical team that can set the architectural direction as well as deliver the goods. We’re also working closely with our good friends at Whoop Design on this one – stay tuned for more!
