Strategic consulting meets hands-on building

Our Story

Cactus was founded to breakdown the barriers between strategic innovation, architectural design, and digital product development.

Within one team, we bring together business, architectural, and digital experts to deliver greater impact, more efficiently.

What we do

We work with start-ups, innovators, and category leaders to bring new ideas to life.

Innovation

We navigate intricate organizational structures, offering strategic consultancy to senior leadership to identify new opportunities rooted in business fundamentals. 



To optimize the return on innovation investments, we partner with clients to find the right product-market fit and quickly scale the most promising projects. We accelerate the move from experimenting to implementing a new product, service, or business model.
