THE THESIS

Every object is getting a memory, a voice, and an address.

Every product is becoming a service.

Every company is about to put agents to work — software that senses, decides, and acts.

The companies that treat the physical world as programmable will define the next decade.

WHAT WE DO
01
Direction
Ongoing product leadership, alongside or within your organisation. We act as your fractional Chief Product Officer, and help set the vision, plan, and direct teams as technology shifts under them, from connected hardware to AI agents.
02
Definition
From ambiguity to blueprint. Product strategy, system architecture, business models, and your AI-agent strategy — where agents belong, what they should be trusted to do, and how they meet the physical world. Specifications precise enough to hand to any engineering team (or coding agents).
03
Execution
Prototypes, pilots, and live projects that put ideas in contact with reality. And when a pilot earns the right to become a product, we assemble and direct the team that builds, runs, and scales it with or for you.

Our sweet spot is zero to one in hard, cutting-edge domains — the part most teams can't buy off the shelf. We're not a body shop; but what we define, we can also make real.

ABOUT

We don't sell software. We don't sell headcount. We bring the judgment that comes from having done it ourselves.

PROJECTS DELIVERED. AND COUNTING.

ZIMT is a founder-led studio in Zürich. For two decades, our team has worked at the frontier of connected products — founding ventures, shipping custom hardware, and operating platforms that manage over ten billion physical products and their digital identities. Every engagement is led by people who have built what they advise on; when more hands are needed, we bring in trusted partners and stay accountable for the result.
