About

Why HEIST Exists

Over the last two decades, many of the world’s best research and design firms were acquired and absorbed into large organizations. The work suffered. The talent scattered.

HEIST exists to bring the best people back together - without the drag of traditional consulting.

We believe:

• The best work comes from small, senior teams

• The best people are attracted to the hardest problems

• Not everything needs to scale
