Nakatomi accelerates ambitious companies through strategy, engineering, and imagination.

The field of innovation is divided.

On one side are business-minded consultants who often lack accountability for their advice. On the other are talented developers who don’t have a full grasp of the overarching strategy.

We took a different approach.

By building a team of creatives with technical and commercial expertise, we can ensure your final product is always a flawless expression of the initial vision.

Principles

More groundwork than guesswork.

We’re always responsible for the execution of our ideas — balancing design and development to create products from scratch. Handling everything from strategy to production means we give advice based on experience, not estimations.

We go wide to go far.

We’ve been tasked to tackle nearly every problem imaginable, from empowering farmers to reduce their carbon emissions to preserving a lost Indigenous language. Our exposure to diverse problems across industries and disciplines makes us better positioned to create innovative solutions.

Right brain meets left.

We figured out that it’s much more effective to teach creatives the art of business than businesspeople the art of creativity. Which is why our team of developers, engineers, and creatives are also well-versed in strategy.

Keep it small to think big.

We've designed a process that allows for good ideas to come from anywhere. Decisions are made based on who knows best, not who's in charge. Our team's collective wisdom is the reason why we can move faster and smarter.
