As our name suggests, we’re an incubator of ideas. Inventions, solutions, the big A-ha, often begin as the seed of an idea. Germination starts the journey that can change everything.
Grow...
Were an incubator for your idea. An idea is like a seed that needs to be nurtured out of the ground. To germinate. To become a sprout ready to change the world.
Germination /
Germinate has had the honor of helping organizations big and small create applications that help their customers boost their business and make their mark.
Technology in Service. People first. Never over engineer. Technology is best when it is automating and augmenting- keep the user the customer the PERSON as the priority.
As simple as possible but no simpler. Its hard to argue with Einstein.
Design matters. If you respect #s 1 and 2 your app will already be functional. Do the work to make it beautiful as well. Fit and finish matters.
After the sprout /
Were with you all the way. We love building relationships as much as we love building apps. We enjoy the process of building a company and live to see your seed become sprout become a force for your business.
Once upon a time there was a dream of what the Web could be. Michael began building the dream as an entrepreneur developer and designer at the dawn of the new millennium.
Meanwhile across the country Doug was kicking it old school in the world of video animation and interactive media (who remembers CD-ROMS?)
They found their way to Portland Ore. They met at Metropolitan Group in 2002 became colleagues and fast friends.
In 2008 Michael started Germinate with a simple idea: Theres an app for that... except when theres not. As the app revolution took hold the business grew- and Germinate found its place as a proven builder of web and mobile apps for enterprise and entrepreneurs alike.
Doug cheered him on while taking a different path. Doug joined the SaaS revolution as an executive with Learning.com and then the President of BlueVolt. Doug learned from some of the best about building a business serving customers well and developing inspired teams.
’Buckle up I want to try something.’
Like many great ideas it started over beers at the Deschutes Public House in the Pearl District. ’What if we joined forces?’
And so it begins. Lets create!
