About

An innovation firm specializing in the monetization of information assets.

Mintwave is a consulting and product development firm specializing in the monetization of information assets.

Founded in 2000, we emerged from the need to embrace two new paradigms: one where business, design and technology decisions are interconnected, and one where data, content and information have become the “new gold”.

By combining the three disciplines necessary to build viable digital products—namely Strategy, User Experience Design and Technology–and our depth in Information Management, we believe in delivering forward-looking information products that are driven by market needs, focused on customer engagement and enabled by smart technology.

Through our unique ecosystem and extensive network of seasoned partners and consultants, our clients are more nimble and faster in responding to new opportunities.

OUR NAME = OUR VALUES

Fresh Ideas.
We always strive to bring new ideas. We like to question assumptions, draw our inspiration from both related and unrelated fields, and ultimately push the envelope to build products that last.

Agile Principles.
We follow a “Rolling Wave” approach, which identifies milestones but leaves flexibility in the path to reach them. This allows us to adapt swiftly to changing realities, and bring products to market quickly.

Our name embodies our values—a passion for fresh ideas and commitment to agile principles.
