Ben Merrill's Company Details
We're building Concepts (https://concepts.tophatch.com/); an iOS app for designing real life things; from houses and hospitals to websites and jetpacks. It's a pro level mix of Photoshop and AutoCAD in a form factor you can touch.Why? Design is fun and should be easy, but the tools are frustrating and the learning curve is steep. When Autodesk pioneered computer-aided design in the early 80s, they required the use of the keyboard — an invention that created huge amounts of value but disconnected people from centuries of design mastery gained by draftsmen and natural input. We think the world is ready for the next generation of design interfaces, from natural sketching to multitouch, VR and beyond.TopHatch is based in both Silicon Valley and Finland. We've won awards from Apple, and we were part of 500 Startups accelerator program in San Francisco in 2015.
