WEIRDO

We help you become yourself. A design partnership to bring your future-facing brand from zero to one, and beyond.

Who We AreA creative partner for new, purpose-driven ventures.

Our team becomes part of yours to launch a Minimum Viable Experience, a scalable digital experience to embody your company’s core promise and uncover what’s most valuable to your most passionate customers.

The ProblemBuilding the wrong thing? Look for the symptoms.

01
You're throwing everything at the wall, but nothing seems to be sticking.
If you can’t answer why your customers buy, you may be chasing an idea the market doesn’t actually need. Weirdo spends time learning about your customers’ pain points and desired outcomes, so you can make decisions with confidence.
02
You build for long stretches of time without any customer feedback.
You may be investing time and resources into building a great experience, but it may not even be the right experience to build. Weirdo coaches clients to ship in short, iterative loops and continually ensure we deliver value to the customer.
03
You’ve got your hands full herding different freelancers.
When you’re babysitting mercenaries that run out the clock, you’re kept from the high-value tasks that actually grow the business. Weirdo offers a self-managed team of experts that can operate without constant supervision.
04
You’re thinking about hiring your first in-house employees.
You’re hoping a full-time team will bring clarity to your vision. While it’s tempting to pursue company-building, you don’t want to burn up your runway before you ever launch. Weirdo keeps you focused on how you’ll deliver value and to whom.

Sound familiar? Weirdo is here to help.

This darling of Silicon Valley raised $120MM to sell $400 “smart” juicers, only to find that their juice packs could be squeezed faster by hand. Juicero serves as a reminder that Big Ideas do not guarantee success.
