About Reincubate

Start-ups & entrepreneurs

Reincubate works with online or technology-enabled start-ups across all industries, and whilst we're based in London we've been helping companies as far away as China. We engage at any stage, although typically we will work just before or after seed funding, assisting the business to either attract or capitalise on the funding. As is nature of the business, most of the start-ups are in “stealth” mode and disclosure is heavily protected by NDA.

Requirements often differ dramatically between companies, but we tend to work closely with owners, assisting them to achieve key milestones.

Many start-ups get caught out by technical consultancies, engaging them at a high capital rate to build their product, often with a dangerous “fixed-scope” brief or a punitive day-rate. Entrepreneurs are often drivers, and not all have the experience to assemble IT people to deliver a project rapidly and cost-effectively. We can help them embark on this process, recognising that a product idea often needs to be proved with an agile approach which minimises risk. Making mistakes can be part of the learning process that new businesses go through, but early, cost-effective, controlled experiments are wise.

Our initial engagement could range from delivery of a roadmap towards realisation of the company's goals, a cost or strategy review of the business plan, or arranging implementation of a development “sprint” on a proof-of-concept or prototype application to drive investment. Sometimes all that is required is a technically literate backup for presentations!

Established businesses

If you're struggling with the reliability of a critical application or web-site, or delivery of a key IT project, our project rescue experience could be of use. We have worked on a number of $1M+ project rescues, turnarounds and restructures since 2005.

Reincubate can enhance your IT capabilities from the ground-up, from making your implementation more agile with cultural, structural or capacity enhancements, to guiding or augmenting your teams to achieve technical deliveries.

If your business is not aligned to take advantage of IT cost-saving, we can develop a roadmap to improve margins. Software-as-a-service (SaaS) and cloud computing pose opportunities for improvements in reliability and significant reductions in spend. If your business is not quite ready for SaaS, we can help you decrease costs on your infrastructure with consolidation, respecification or tendering.

The team has worked with a variety of established companies from NASDAQ and FTSE 250s to national charities.

Investors & venture capital

We can provide a variety of services for investors, from spend review through disaster recovery or continuity planning, to auditing, structuring & recruitment. Where required, we can provide an embedded or on-call CTO to manage IT activity.

Reincubate also build “idea factory” businesses, developing concepts for exploration as business propositions. Recently, we built a small site to enable mobile users to access BBC streaming radio services.
