That’s why, over the years our design consultancy has generated a robust ecosystem of trusted partners and collaborators, each playing a vital role in helping clients navigate the innovation lifecycle. It is more than a network… It is an integrated support system designed to give every idea the best chance of commercial success.

As leading product designers, ITERATE provides clients with high-quality, user-centred design solutions. But the support doesn’t stop at there. We recognise that successful innovation requires the alignment of many counter parts: legal protection, funding, prototyping, manufacturing and market entry. To that end, our ecosystem has been carefully built to support every phase of this journey.

Intellectual Property & Patent Protection

One of the earliest and often most critical steps in the innovation process is protecting your idea. Through long-standing relationships with experienced patent attorneys, we help clients understand how best to secure their intellectual property. Whether it’s assessing patentability, conducting prior searches or drafting detailed applications, if required we can direct our clients to expert legal advice that can protect their innovations.

Funding & Investment Guidance

Many promising ideas never make it to market due to a lack of funding. That’s why our ecosystem includes access to funding support. ITERATE can assist clients understand the landscape of innovation grants, venture capital and private investment. Along with connecting them to organisations and advisors who specialise in securing financial backing for early-stage products. From Innovate UK grants to angel investment networks, we ensure our clients are pointed in the right direction to find the resources they need.

Prototype Development & Manufacturing

Designing a successful product is only one part of the challenge, bringing it to life is another. Through our network of UK-based and overseas manufacturing partners, ITERATE supports clients through the production phases. Whether it’s rapid prototyping for testing and validation or scaling up for mass production, we ensure quality, cost-efficiency and supply chain reliability. Our long-term manufacturing relationships mean we can offer options that match a variety of budgets, materials and production volumes.

A Collaborative Path to Market

What sets ITERATE apart is our commitment to being more than just a design consultancy.

We act as a strategic partner, guiding clients along a path that connects all the crucial elements of product development. This interconnected approach increases speed to market, reduces risk and enhances the overall likelihood of success.

By embedding clients into our ecosystem, we offer a collaborative experience that combines design excellence with technical development, legal protection and commercial insight. The result? A streamlined, beginning-to-end innovation journey that gives every product idea a stronger chance of market success.
