Client Success Stories
Real business owners, in their own words, on what changed after working with us.
Terri Davis, Business Owner, oolu
What we did: rescued a failing MVP, stabilized security and architecture, and restored her project's SR&ED eligibility by moving development to Canada.
A partner aligned with her values
"They were just very open and honest and aligned to our values."
Into market and generating revenue
"We have now gotten into market. We are at a place where we are revenue generating."
A security audit that paid off
"We didn't realize what we didn't know. Part of it was New Idea Machine's recommendation to go into a security audit, which thank goodness we did."
Shannon Phillips, Business Owner, Unbounded Thinking
What we did: built a plan around his actual monthly budget and automated his entire system. His company is now global.
Started right away, with no 12-month contract
"That lowered the risk. It allowed us to get started tomorrow. We didn't have to commit to a 12-month contract, all those big things that really scared us off from working with other teams."
Kelly Hall, CEO, Vermillion Power Technologies
What we did: placed a lead builder with her on a fractional basis. Her project qualified for SR&ED tax credits covering 33% of the cost.
From a small startup to 15 people and a $10 million business
"We've really gone from a small startup with a couple people to 15 people and a $10 million business."
Vera Ilnyckyj
What we did: talked her out of a $30,000 custom build and pointed her to Circle and Slack ($100 a month) to validate her community first.
A $100-a-month tool instead of a $30,000 build
"[Rea] asked us a bunch of questions that made us think through what we actually wanted. This is really smart advice instead of just jumping into creating our own app."
Paisley Churchill
What we did: replaced $2,500+ per year in SaaS fees with software she owns outright.
Her doubts answered before she committed
"Before committing, I was a little bit worried about what the maintenance would look like. The team was really able to show me what went into the system, and it did make sense for me to keep going forward and build my own learning management system."
Clarity to move forward
"They were really able to take away a lot of ambiguity and help me move forward."
Freedom to change her mind
"They're not going to be scared when you change your mind. New Idea Machine really sets up their processes in a way that lets you be flexible and figure out things as you're building."
