Bringing disruptive ideas to market

Sigla is a St. Louis based technology venture building firm. In other words, we’re a tech startup that creates tech startups. We transform innovative ideas into launch-worthy products that scale and disrupt markets. We invest in startups through a venture building model, bringing years of experience in entrepreneurship, product design, software engineering, user experience and startup focused agile to the team.

We love working with early stage startups, often serving as original co-founders, management team members, strategic partners, and building out entire product teams.  We also happen to know our way around the vibrant and flourishing St. Louis startup ecosystem pretty well, and we’re always looking for ways to help our startups navigate that landscape.

Above all, we’re passionate about designing, architecting and building products, and love nothing more than taking ideas to market.

How we do it

Product Development

We identify opportunities in the marketplace; envision, design and engineer technology products which capitalize on those opportunities; and deliver those products to market in a timely, efficient fashion.

Startup Focused Agile

Streamlined development and minimal time to market is accomplished by collaborative prioritization and iterative delivery of the most important features. We don’t just do “agile”, we do agile optimized for technology startups.

User Centered Design

Putting  the user first and integrating them into every phase of the design and development process is essential to creating products which users love. For us, user experience spans the whole stack, from bytes in a database to pixels on a screen and everything in between.

Agile Engineering

Rapid development cycles and agile architectures enable quickly getting products to market, without sacrificing long term scalability, extensibility, and overall quality. Our engineering processes are honed for technology platforms which grow quickly in terms of users and features.
