Our residents have been busy! Lots of new staff hires, attending international conferences, launching new products, Minimal Viable Product Grants and more! Find out what they’ve been up.  

EASY AGILE

Easy Agile had a busy month in September! They welcomed two new team members: Seamus Kieran in Customer Service and Jared Kells in Product & Engineering are now a team of six.

They attended the Atlassian Summit in the US where the 3,500 attendees received a copy of their brochure in their conference backpacks. The Easy Agile team heard responses like “first thing I pulled out of the bag” and “only thing from the bag I kept” which was exactly the response they were looking for. This was a lead gen campaign for Easy Agile and it will take around 60 – 80 days for the results to flow through to sales.

The two Easy Agile products now have over 12,000 uniques per week. Across the two products they have over 1,200 installations with an active maintenance contract, 99% of which are outside Australia. 

ROOCREATE

RooCreate had a huge win this month! Receiving their Minimal Viable Product Grant (MVP), RooCreate is on their way to developing a unique eco-package design service. With this incredible support, the team will have the necessary resources to build a one-of-a-kind online platform dedicated for businesses to launch their products fully designed using eco-materials. With educational aspects and eco factsheets, RooCreate will be an interactive portal for businesses to not only learn, but to grow in the market.
