z1

z1.digital is a digital product studio that partners with startups and established enterprises to develop and launch new digital products. The company, founded in 2015 and formerly known as Commite, operates from Seville, Spain. In March 2019, the studio rebranded to z1, inspired by Peter Thiel's concept of moving from "zero to one" by creating something entirely new. In 2018, z1 joined Tiny, a Canadian technology holding company, to expand its services.

The studio offers a holistic approach to product development, combining a team of designers, engineers, and communication professionals. Their core service is taking early-stage ideas and transforming them into market-ready products, which they term "Minimum Perfect Experiences" rather than Minimum Viable Products. The process involves research and discovery, product design, building scalable architecture, and managing the product launch. They provide services in UI/UX design, branding, mobile app development, and web development. z1 works with a global client base, particularly with North American startups, helping them create and launch disruptive products. Their clients have included companies like Oatly, Marble, and Mentor Spaces.

The business model is service-based, with project minimums starting at $100,000. z1 emphasizes a collaborative, milestone-based approach designed to balance investment with impact. By 2023, the studio had shipped over 150 digital products, and its startup clients had collectively raised over $123.5 million. Their work has received industry recognition, including a Google's Best App for Good award and an Indigo Awards Best App Design.
