AE’s client relationship manifesto

Clients have always been the lifeblood of our work at AE Studio.

The money we made from our first few projects almost a decade ago is what allowed us to eventually build Skunkworks, contribute to cutting-edge BCI research, and much more.

And today?

Tons of amazing clients around the globe rely on us to build their MVPs, raise capital, and develop world-class enterprise software solutions.

Our clients are important to us, and us to them 🤝

So when we say our mission is to “increase human agency,” that doesn’t just apply to end consumers…

We aim to increase human agency for our clients, too!

Here’s how we do that:

We manage expectations

When agencies overpromise and underdeliver, everyone loses.

That’s why we always underpromise and overdeliver.

(Just like Scotty on the Starship Enterprise!)

Even so, things change and what made the most sense to do a couple months ago might not make the most sense now.

Which is why...

We overcommunicate

That means we talk to our clients simply, transparently, and frequently.

Not only that, we overcommunicate within our own teams at all levels of the hierarchy — everyone’s on the same page at all times, to deliver the best product possible.

Many of our clients are non-technical. So if that’s you, don’t fear 😉

We always make sure that clients really understand what we’re telling them, with the context they need to make informed decisions about the project.

We treat your project like it’s our own

Our guarantee is simple:

We'll treat your startup like it's our own. We'll treat your project like it's our startup with a founder-level mentality doing whatever it takes to make it spectacularly successful.

We take an ownership mindset in every part of the job, and go the extra mile wherever we can.

We build products that increase your customers’ agency

Everything we ship is designed to:

• Be friction-free

• Encourage focus, flow, and conservation of willpower

• Offer a stellar user experience without manipulation or distractions

• Function as a seamless extension of the user

• Change only when necessary (no anti-consumer changes for the sake of it)

• Be valuable for customers in the long term

Because when you build satisfying products that empower people and improve their lives, they keep coming back for more — which ends up being both good for them, and for your bottom line!

If you’re a founder or executive with an upcoming tech project you’d like our help with...

Book a call with us here, and let’s talk about it.

We’ve built creative solutions in just about every industry — from AI, to BCI, to blockchain, and everything in between.

So if we move forward together on your project, we can give you the team you need to get your idea off the ground, fast.

In the meantime...
