Every individual that joins the Upside team spends a minimum of 5 years moving through the different areas that make up our business, to develop the skills needed to service our clients and bring new ideas into the work we do.

With Upside Projects, they consult with our clients, learning how businesses work.
With Upside Tech, they build digital solutions for our clients, learning to adapt their thinking to a client’s problem.
With Upside Ventures, they support the growth of our ventures and maybe even build their own, learning first-hand what it takes to start and grow a business.

We’re proud to have built a team culture, where each individual brings their own unique knowledge and skills, and where we continuously learn from one another.
