The mindset & culture
They believe that there is no such thing as impossible. Creative Dock itself is a product of this mindset – a bootstrapped Czech company, co-creating the new industry of corporate venture building and becoming number one. It's proof that strong personalities with entrepreneurial nature can change the world.
CD put outcomes before processes because creativity means freedom. Over a rule-based framework, they adhere to the one core principle: Grit to Impact. Ability to grit your teeth, face adversity, and make an impact with new ideas. The main business idea is to create a unique value.
What do they deliver?
Executive Chairman Martin Pejsa: “Big companies usually have big assets they don't use. We create new products for them by building, expanding and operating on these assets - with the aim of making them more valuable than the company's original business. Like when an e-shop starts selling free space on its servers like Amazon, even though its main business model was originally completely different. We've done it many times before. New business models for banks, insurance or companies, etc. From clean sheet of paper, to scale. We are able to do it 100% internally.”
Fields of experience
Creative Dock builds ventures applying its own methodology (created internally at several universities around the world, including MIT). The critical part is to run disruptive ideas through all phases of venture building in order to create real value (for end-users, employees, and clients):
from design & testing,
to the MVP phase,
to scaling in many markets.
Along the way, CD projects require a lot of experts: tech people, finance experts, business analysts, marketing & creative gurus of many languages, etc. From fresh graduates to seasoned ex-CEOs from corporations or their own companies.
