Ronny Eriksson Build with me

Build a venture, concept or cultural initiative together

Some ideas I build as my own ventures, others with clients. When we work together, I aim to leave a team that can carry the work without me.

Talk about a project Where I’ve done it

When it helps

What working together involves

Consulting
shaping and testing your idea together.
Hands-on
working inside your team to build the first version.
Advisory
a recurring second view while you build.

What it is for A concept tested with the people it is for, a team that owns it, and a clear next step. The work decides which of the three it takes.
