Back in the early 2000s, soon after the Internet bubble burst, our founding team started re-imagining the supply chain of software innovation.

We envisioned a better way of building commercial products where the ‘innovators’ would use the 'building blocks' of software and focus on assembling solutions, versus building everything from scratch. After all, most hardware-centric companies were operating in that manner, so why not software? With this insight, Accion Labs was born. We envisioned that to assemble quality solutions using software building blocks, a unique skill set was needed, and by subscribing to these skills from Accion Labs, software companies could rapidly build their product without having to deal with the “logistics” of setting up a facility/teams, hiring teams of software engineers through hundreds of interviews, trying out different product architectures, etc. In this new model, not only software companies were able to deliver the products early and avoid making early-stage fixed-cost commitments, but they could also leverage the diverse expertise of a partner such as Accion who had experience in building numerous software products.
