Our Journey

Founded as a first trial back in 2004, way ahead of its time, two childhood friends experimented with everything. We ventured early into SEO, then shifted our focus to creating an Indian version of Blocket (five years before Blocket itself ventured there). Subsequently, we developed successful casino review platforms, which we exited from prematurely. We also pioneered Sweden’s concept for public policy income statements, which was later acquired, once again, prematurely. Our journey is characterized by a long list of failures and a short list of successes. Stepford stands as the culmination of two decades of entrepreneurial endeavours. While most ventures didn’t reach their intended heights, they were instrumental in shaping our insight into the startup ecosystem. Over the years, we’ve been privy to the pitfalls and potentials of various businesses, granting us perspective on what truly works and what doesn’t.

We’d like to believe we have distilled this vast experience into a lucid vision. Understanding the challenges of limited resources, we’ve opted not to spread ourselves too thin, choosing instead to guide others using our hard-won insights. With a vast network nurtured over two decades, Stepford draws on a diverse pool of freelance consultants and partners, positioning us as a house of expertise across myriad domains. While the initial vision for Stepford Consulting was conceived in 2016, our commitments as exclusive on-site consultants for various companies meant that it wasn’t until 2023 that we fully fleshed out this concept, now ready to share our expertise with a wider clientele.

From raw thoughts to polished concepts, we employ cutting-edge AI and expertise in process methodology to streamline and innovate. Our aim? To be the first choice for those seeking to transform ideas into compelling, market-ready solutions. We forge partnerships, not client transactions.”
