Emporion Innovations helps startups and corporates with anonymized testing of product ideas Many startups want to solve a whole array of problems with their product, but in the start, they are just solving a small aspect. Alexander Kuchta, CEO and Co-Founder Emporion Innovation  The FounderAlexander Kuchta is the co-founder and CEO of Emporion Innovations (https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexander-kuchta/), a small boutique agency in the Rhine-Main area (https://emporion.technology/). Alex is an economist by training, who started first with the idea of an online flee market like craigslist. This did not work, but he started working with his co-founder. Instead of going with their MVP to an investor, they instead decided to set up a digital agency, what they now call a digital product studio.  If you realize, what you do does not work, either iterate – or try something else. Maybe you learned something along the way to solve another product.

Alexander Kuchta, CEO and Co-Founder Emporion Innovation   The Web AgencyThe team behind Emporion Ventures originally came together to set up something similar to Craigslist, a retail market place. They then decided to turn into a web agency, primarily designing UX and graphics for websites and apps. This turned over time into what they call Emporion Innovation, where they help to launch, build, and accelerate new startups and corporate startups. They focus on the product during all of the phases and help with the complete design and development of digital products.
