Design sprints can give you much more value than you think. If you’re a fast-growing company with an urgent design challenge - Merge is ready to hop on the task. Expect fast and actionable results without spending a ton of money. Come to us with a problem, and we’ll give you a solution ready to be tested in less than a few weeks.
Design sprint services help navigate significant business goals from concept to validated prototype within weeks. This approach saves you time and money - two crucial aspects for startups and translates complex challenges into user-testing-ready prototypes. As a result, you have actionable insights and immediate market impact.
Far from it! Actually, quite the opposite. If you have a specific business challenge or goal you want to address, design sprints are one of, if not the most efficient, ways to do it. They don't take more than four weeks, even for more complex challenges. Speaking of costs, the average budget is around $10K, which is far better than losing money and customers when the issue is not fixed.
Before heavy investment, a design sprint will validate your idea's feasibility and market potential. As an outcome, you'll get customer-testing-ready interactive prototypes. In the meantime, investors love to see features visualization in pitch decks. Then, post-launch, design sprints will focus on refining features based on feedback.

A design sprint at Merge is a customized, time-constrained process (usually within 1 to 4 weeks) where our experienced design team addresses your business challenges through design, prototyping, and testing ideas.
We adapt the classic sprint to fit your needs, whether that means shortening for tight timelines or extending to delve deeper into complex issues.
Expect a validated prototype, actionable insights, and strategic direction - delivering a significant leap forward in your project's journey toward market readiness.
Our sprints involve a dynamic mix of Merge’s strategists, designers, and project managers, complemented by key stakeholders from your organization for well-rounded perspectives.
Merge’s design sprints are industry-agnostic, with a proven track record across tech, healthcare, education, and more, offering tailored strategies to any sector.
Success is measured through the achievement of the sprint's objectives, the usability and user feedback of the prototype, and the clarity of the next steps for product development.
