The excitement associated with startups can be contagious. It’s nice to think about all the new things you can make with a visionary founder and a great idea. Startups can also suck really bad. Working with low budgets on someone else’s dream can be frustrating at best, toxic at worst. When we do work with startups, we’re certainly selective. Back in the day, MindMixer had a lot of high moments. Straight Shot and The Exchange were also projects in the world of tech startups that I look back on fondly. Nowadays, if the idea is compelling, the founders are good people, and the budget is reasonable, working with startups can lead to a solid fusion of design and business.
