Acumen Digital

Acumen Digital is a product studio that takes digital products from design through engineering to launch. It works mainly with startups and SaaS companies in the United States, alongside international clients, and also runs a venture arm for early-stage founders.

What Acumen Digital offers

• Product design — product strategy, UX research, wireframes, UI/UX audits and mobile app interface design.
• App and web development — cross-platform mobile apps, web platforms and responsive websites.
• Dedicated product teams — developers, testers, managers and designers who join a client's own team, so there is no need to run a hiring process.
• Software outsourcing — custom development for companies in the US and abroad.
• Venture studio — a US-focused programme that helps pre-revenue founders turn ideas into businesses ready for investors.

Who it works with

Startups, SaaS businesses and larger corporates. Client comments on its older site came from firms in the USA, Nigeria and the Netherlands, including Pharmaccess Foundation, which says the team shipped its MVP within two months.
