Razortooth Communications, LLC is a boutique agency focused on Design for Technology. Most technology consultancies focus on placing bodies on projects and building out plumbing. We focus on your design needs, customer requirements, and then generate the ideas to build great technology. With practical experience working with both startups and also large enterprises, we can help navigate innovation projects for maximum impact in the market. Rather than focus on the commodity realm of tech, we focus on areas of technology where our customers might have trouble finding the right talent, or are dealing with sensitive core intellectual property and don’t want to outsource to overseas teams. We can work both short term rapid prototyping, as well as long term as a regular part of your team. Please contact us to tell us about your project needs.

How we work

Design For People

Technology can only make a difference when it is designed for people. Our goal is to help your team build technology that meets the needs of real users. We can help you solicit feedback early in the process to ensure your project meets objectives, satisfying your users’ requirements and helping build a quality product or service.

Innovation with Purpose

Too often techies build plumbing without thinking about the cost of over-engineering a solution. Customers don’t buy plumbing. They buy solutions. They want orders of magnitude better. And sometimes they want to fall in love with a product. Let’s build that experience for your customer. The design and the implementation must meet the customer needs.

Rapid Prototyping and Ideation

A key tool in getting rapid feedback from early customers is to build small prototypes, and vet these with internal or external customers. Getting feedback quickly will help validate assumptions and allow time for pivots. We can help your team get paper prototypes or real working prototypes done in short order.

Specialized R&D

There are a lot of options out there to get commodity projects built. We focus on our specialities. If your project matches our skillset, let’s talk. If it’s not a match, we will happily recommend alternatives among our industry partners.

Building Startup Teams

Since 2007 we’ve focused almost exclusively on working with startups. We know the grind. We know the challenge of fundraising. We’ve helped our customers at all stages: pre-funding, seed funding, series A, and even beyond this point, working with publicly traded companies. We can even help companies that need to break things down and prepare for sale or other alternatives. We feel we can contribute a different perspective than other agencies based on our track record and experience.

We are located in Portland, Oregon.

Philosophy

We enjoy technology. But we really like it when our customers achieve #goals: funding, development milestone, solving a tough problem, reaching revenue goals, even saving money. We don’t outsource unless you ask us. When you hire us, we put a team on your project. We don’t have expensive offices, and operate as a virtual agency. We pass on those savings to our customers, allowing us to cut pricing deals.
