Lutes Solutions was created to help growing startups tackle real problems with fresh ideas. We connect founders with talented student teams from LUT University who combine business, engineering, and technology expertise to create solutions for your start-up.
Our projects are free of charge and designed to deliver practical outcomes that can be applied right away. Startups can choose to motivate the teams with prize money, adding a competitive edge that drives even better results.
We start with a short call to understand your startup’s goals and main challenge. Together we define the project focus and what kind of outcome you want to achieve.
Your startup presents its challenge to the student teams. This session helps them understand your business and sets the direction for the project.
For the next four weeks, student teams work independently on your challenge. During this time they research, analyze, and develop practical solutions based on the information shared during the kickoff event.
At the end of the project, the teams present their solutions directly to you. You’ll receive actionable recommendations that can be applied immediately. You can also set a prize money to the team you find the best.
