Enable Startup

Software consulting for startups and SMEs

Enable Startup is a software consultancy that works mainly with startups and small and medium-sized enterprises. The company describes its aim as combining a startup's speed with the discipline of a large enterprise. It says it has spent more than seven years on more than 30 projects for startups and SMEs, and that its services have been delivered across Asia, Europe and North America. It also states that its team has grown tenfold since it was founded.

Embedded Linux and connected devices

The company builds software for embedded Linux systems, including internet of things components designed and built from scratch. Its embedded work sits alongside its application work, so that one consultancy can cover both the software on a device and the programs that run on other platforms.

Web, mobile and cloud-native applications

Enable Startup builds custom mobile apps and web applications. Its interface work is aimed at simple, easy-to-use screens, and the company says it designs with the end user in mind. It also builds cloud-native applications, meaning products architected from day one for cloud hosting rather than moved there afterwards.

Platform design and machine learning

The company says its skills in platform design, software engineering and machine learning allow it to provide end-to-end solutions. Platform design sets out the foundation a product will run on, software engineering turns that plan into working code, and machine learning adds data-driven features where a client needs them. The company says this full set of skills is intended to reduce the time and budget a project takes.

From proof of concept to finished product

Before a full build, the company offers proof of concept development. This produces an early working version that tests whether an idea will work in practice, so that a client can decide what to build next on the basis of evidence. The company says its experience across many projects lets it advise what is likely to work and how to achieve it.

It also says it has five products of its own, which it describes as tried and tested, and that its services are delivered within the agreed timeline and budget. It presents collaboration as part of how the company works, with a stated focus on combining strategic business thinking with industry best practice.
