Our Story.
The idea for Mapt Solutions started as a brief comment on an afternoon coffee run. The 15-minute round trip was our regular reprieve from the day, a chance to clear our heads before diving back into our afternoon work. One day our conversation led to a new question: “What would it look like for us to take our passion of doing work that matters for more than just one organization or industry at a time?”
After months of conversation, our answer was Mapt Solutions. To us, it’s the embodiment of the way we like to work – putting our heads and hearts into finding real solutions that make transformation possible.
Low-ego, big-outcomes.
We are a scrappy, risk-taking team known for delivering outside-the-box thinking and results. Our founders are deeply engaged in daily operations, rolling up their sleeves to help clients address complex challenges or realize new potential for their organizations. They work hard and never shy away from a task – no matter how big or small – and expect the same from every member of the team. We believe ideas benefit from diverse perspectives and iteration. Therefore, you will find Mapt team members of diverse backgrounds and experiences working shoulder-to-shoulder to create and advance client deliverables to their highest quality.
