Hypekraft is a specialized digital solutions firm with a focus on serving startups and nurturing a portfolio of venture products. Recognizing the need to strategize for the upcoming Corporate Digital Adoption Plan (CDAP) 2024, Hypekraft sought the expertise of Meicho, a consultancy known for its prowess in regulatory compliance and strategic planning. The collaboration aimed to ensure Hypekraft’s readiness from both a Tier 2 (T2) compliance and tax perspective, setting the stage for a successful application in the 2024 fiscal year.
Challenges:
- Enhancing Digital Security: Hypekraft’s technical team, while skilled, faced difficulties in navigating the complexities of digital security. This gap highlighted the need for a more robust approach to protect sensitive data and client projects.
- Formalizing Team Structure: Traditionally, Hypekraft operated with an informal team structure, relying heavily on contractors. This approach raised concerns regarding their T4 filing and overall eligibility for CDAP 2024.
- Revenue and Structural Constraints: The company’s recent collaboration with Mitchell Group posed a unique challenge. Hypekraft needed to demonstrate a minimum of $500,000 in revenue over the past three years—a target they had not met. This requirement necessitated a significant overhaul of their business model and structural alignment.
- Navigating Market Competition: As digital competition intensified, Hypekraft sought to distinguish itself by attracting startups in need of their rapid prototyping and concept development services—a niche yet crucial offering.
- Implementing New Technologies: The introduction of advanced cloud infrastructure for pipeline management, including platforms like Buddy Works and Bit Bucket, demanded a steep learning curve. Initially, only upper management was proficient in these systems, complicating broader adoption across the company.
- Expanding into Consumer Electronics: Venturing into the consumer electronics sector, Hypekraft faced the imperative to adopt and master new technologies for firmware diagnostics and testing, aligning with the needs of their expanding client base.
