Product development companies exist since many companies do not maintain in-house resources to develop their own products. From cell phones to toasters, from big companies to start-ups, many companies outsource product development. Some find it cost effective to hire a development team only when needed during a product's lifecycle, while others find it difficult to maintain the specialized resources in-house to develop sophisticated technology products, for example.

MindTribe's speciality is developing innovative, technology-based products. Today's class-leading technology products are the result of a highly integrated, multidiscplinary engineering team--precisely the core of MindTribe's process, called Integrated Engineering. MindTribe maintains equally deep competencies with electrical, mechanical, and software engineering to ensure the product development team--and resulting product--are highly integrated.

Clients typically own unique intellectual property created during the course of their program. MindTribe does maintain ownership of its own body of intellectual property, but when employed, clients are granted an irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free license to use any intellectual property delivered in a product not otherwise protected by specific rights.

MindTribe was founded in 1998 with the realization that class-leading technology products could no longer be developed by throwing a product over the wall from one engineering discipline to the next. MindTribe's goal remains the same today--to give clients access to a powerful team of highly integrated, multidisciplinary engineers to bring class-leading technology products to life.
