Notes on counting and recency:
-
“Team size” reflects the current range shown on LinkedIn and may lag real-time headcount.
-
Award counts reflect Awwwards’ public tallies and can increase as new work is recognized.
-
Valuation impact is self-reported across Zypsy’s owned properties; exact attribution varies by client and stage.
How the team works (sanitized model)
-
Functions covered end-to-end: brand identity, websites, product design, and engineering delivered as integrated, sprint-based engagements. See the current scope on Capabilities.
-
Sprint cadence: engagements are scoped into focused sprints; strategy roles commonly lead 8–12 week programs for brand and messaging, consistent with the Brand Strategist listing.
-
Decision rights and ownership: Zypsy operates as an independent contractor to customers, with deliverable IP ownership defined in Terms for Customer; contractor relationships are governed by Designer Terms.
-
“Hands-if” support: Zypsy can be hands-on when useful and hands-off when not via Zypsy Capital; for qualifying founders, design time can be invested for equity via Design Capital.
