E-commerce
Industry
RATS, or Residential Art and Technology Studio is a membership based startup community and coworking company incorporated in 2001 to provide research and development of new products for ethnographic and experiential learning enhancement using embedded art and software. Our first products under design and prototyping address four industrial concerns regarding:
- ecommerce safety,
- industry space design,
- wellness and mental sharpness,
- economic progress.
To accomplish our research objectives, RT uses an unique recipe for formulating our initiatives. As practitioners and research professionals, RT works with disadvantaged Startups undergoing transformative processes through our coworking endeavors. After many years, our studies suggest that business startup and coworking activities form a necessary and natural partnership to insure the validity and community of our products. The benefits of these partnerships have positive and sweeping ethical ramifications that are promising for young Startups everywhere in the global south.
In our studies, disadvantaged Startups frequently have five significant challenges associated with confidence, economics, mindset, workflow, and commitment. Our studies have lead to the creation of 5 "perfecting" paradigms seeking to manage the progression through these challenges.
Each paradigm is manifested from thousands of ethnographer hours. Many of our ethnographers, practitioners, and members have contributed to these paradigms with potent recipes for elevating coworking and startup potential. In pursuit of answers, RATS has hosted hundreds of activities to observe the ideologies and urgencies of our members, to improve the effectiveness of these 5 paradigms, and to create novel products, patents, and papers.
