Who we are
Flux Bucket is a design-first digital product studio focused on helping founders flow through the early stage of new ventures. Since 2016, we’ve helped startups and small businesses flourish by leading them down an intentional design process that leads to elegant technology solutions. Our nimble, dedicated crew becomes your outsourced team so you can move quickly and feel confident about the direction of your product. Early-stage companies choose us because we’re more than a body shop — we’re your partner and an advocate for your business. We’ll be here figuring it out together, learning, testing, and building the absolute best version of your idea.
We believe that...
We believe that...
Your success is our success.
When our clients succeed, we succeed. Simple. This means doing our work and setting up our relationship relative to the best interests of your business.
Good relationships foster good business.
Technology starts and ends with people, so we invest in our client relationships the same way we invest in our teams: with respect, honesty, and quality communication.
Your product decisions today are the destiny of your business tomorrow.
Poor design and technology decisions while developing a product can be fatal. Embracing this means doing things the right way and thinking for the long-term, even in the early stages.
This can be fun...really.
Launching the next great technology business doesn’t have to mean hating your life. We’ve found that there are ways to work smarter, not harder. If you let yourself, you may actually enjoy the process :)
