So, in a nutshell, Neon Roots is a team of ganja-chiefing alien-like humanoid mercenaries, back from the future, sharing all of our secrets and giving your competition hell with our laser pistols.
Then, it was Jamming by Bob Marley, but we had to be honest with ourselves and we’re just so not reggae.
Then, suddenly, like a fever dream or an exceptionally bawdy episode of euphoria it hit us…
We’re all of these things. We’re futuristic AF. We’re ridiculously chill to work with (We’re creatives but not prima donnas). And, we’re dangerous for your competition.

Who is “WE”?
Neon Roots is a team of seasoned entrepreneurs, product designers, and growth hackers who've cut razor-sharp teeth building startups like yours. We invest creative capital in pre-seed, seed or Series A companies that share our vision of building the future.
We are not another agency. We’re scaling startups not hatching chickens. Incubators aren’t committing creative resources, capital, or one-on-one time with general partners, and they almost always take a one-size-fits-all approach to startup building.
At Neon Roots, we put our money where our mouth is. We throw cash, resources, and creative talent at your project to shift it into high-growth mode - the latter of which, we’ve found to be the real catalyst.

Neon Roots is different. We put our money where our mouth is. We throw cash, resources, and creative talent at your project to get the fire blazing. The latter of which, we’ve found to be the real catalyst.
Startup after startup has told us they need talent as much as they need dough.
So, we’re bringing the talent like lightning brings thunder. ⚡
And with this electricity we’ve super-charged brands like Fisker (before their IPO) and MasterClass (who we helped scale their platform).
Suitcase
We helped them go from concept to MVP in 4 months and secured $500k in seed financing with investors like Paul Blair, the Grammy award-winning producer & songwriter for Lady Gaga.
Boson Protocol
We helped the founding team go from inception to $25M in token sales in 9 months and continue to support them almost two years later with product strategy and UI/UX.
Fisker
We developed the Fisker Orbit concept with Henrik and his leadership team - the first-ever autonomous shuttle to be used on the Microsoft Campus.
At Neon Roots, we don’t have sales reps. We have practitioners. The same people you discuss your engagement with are the same people creating your solutions.With Neon Roots you get: Emmy award-winning directors, growth hackers that have generated millions of downloads, designers who’ve made Dribbble drool, creatives who’ve ran more design sprints than Usain Bolt, and developers who’ve built and scaled complicated payment systems for FinTech unicorns that would make Peter Theil scratch his head.
