EFFECT Photonics

Five years from now, the amount of Internet data we consume in a year will be consumed in just one month. To keep up with this demand, we need to rethink the way people communicate, stream videos, and discover the world through the Internet. EFFECT Photonics pioneers technology that can achieve this goal. EFFECT Photonics is a cutting-edge developer in the field of high-speed optical transceivers for communication networks. We develop products for fiber-optic communication systems based on Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) and Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology and we deliver highly-integrated optical communications products based on our DWDM optical System-on-Chip (SoC) technology. All the active and passive optical functions are developed on a single chip that is only slightly bigger than a grain of rice. The chip is then combined with simple packaging to create photonic transceivers that are used to address the soaring demand for affordable bandwidth.

WhoCo

We've spent our careers building innovative tech companies. As company leaders, we know the highest impact decisions are hiring decisions. But we always found the process of hiring to be messy and difficult. We believe technology can transform that process and help companies and candidates make smarter and faster hiring decisions. But technology alone is insufficient. Hiring is a very human decision for candidates, managers, and teams, and it requires a human touch to develop relationships and guide the process. That's why we're building a talent platform that combines powerful tech and the savviest recruiters—a platform not geared toward filling seats but building teams. And ultimately, a platform that gives every professional access to superior resources—advisors, technology, and data—to find their place on a team that inspires them to do their best work and help change the world.

Rainfall

We help our clients see themselves through the eyes of the people they are trying to reach. Then we design something amazing. At the end of the day, we believe that being thoughtful people and making considerate work will lead to effective partnerships, and successful outcomes for our clients. Design Made Human Principals: Attentiveness Identify and consider the people who benefit from your product, including you. Acknowledgement Imagine an innovative solution that fits the many needs and goals of those people. Accommodation Design a solution that meets those needs and stands out for its beauty and ease of use. The bespoke activity set we develop for each engagement contains a series of workshops and exercises chosen to help gain insight or test a hypothesis that we or our clients might have. The help that we provide often takes the form of a website, mobile app, digital platform, or brand identity. If we think that the best solution is a piece of paper, then that is what we will propose. Regardless of the challenge we are tasked with, or the thing we have been asked to make, we start by considering the perspectives of people. Our clients are people, their audience members are people (mostly), and so we arrive at our maxim: Design Made Human™. Because our design process deeply considers people before creating solutions, it feels a bit disingenuous to define a process that applies to all relationships. Acknowledging that, our framework grounds our thinking, and allows us to create a unique activity set for every client. We are constantly thinking about how to best communicate what it is that we do, and the unique way in which we approach our work. We make websites, sure, but is Rainfall a website design company? Not exactly. We also make brand identities, but are designers at Rainfall a logo designers? Kind of. If we really wanted to distill what we do down to a sentence, we help businesses achieve their goals by deeply exploring the space where their needs and desires intersect with the needs and desires of their audience members.
