The Enable Story…

Enable...

Our history is steeped in people, connection and creating. A culture we are proud of – offices that facilitated collaboration and problem solving. The pandemic changed all that. 


Like everyone, we quickly had to shift our mindset to working virtually… video calls, instant messaging, Zoom group meetings. It was alien to us, but after a few weeks something unexpected happened… There was a sense that this new world was an opportunity to become a better company.


We quickly realised that what we had originally thought was the backbone of our culture - offices, atmosphere, physical connection – was not in fact the makings of us. It was to do with harmonising more as a team, communication and the excitement of building something; none of those things meant we had to be in the same room. However, although there was a lot of momentum around this, I still wasn’t fully convinced in this remote world; I was wrong. 


Since April 2020, our company has doubled in size; in employees, revenue and new partnerships. Perhaps the biggest advantage from having remote employees is that we went from only being able to hire people in a 50-mile radius to now being able to hire people from anywhere. This was a defining moment for Mason Alexander. Overnight, the talent pools we could tap into were significantly larger. Productivity shot up, people seemed to be striking a better balance between work and life; outputs become more important than inputs; ultimately, we became a much smarter, better organised company.


This is where Enable was born. Hiring engineers has become the biggest challenge for organisations, especially those on a growth trajectory. Through conversations with our key clients, we understood the challenges they had in this digital world and where they needed support in building remote teams. So we launched a community of technology talent around the world to partner with some of the most exciting companies. This has resulted in us building multiple teams of developers for our clients.


In the past year, we have curated a community of over 2,000 developers across Europe, launched two new hubs in the US, NYC and San Francisco, and have partnered with companies in eCommerce, Health-Tech, Fintech and SaaS rapidly going through Series A – Series D. Enable offers these companies the following solutions to solve their scaling challenges: 


  • Instant access to developers across Europe 
  • Form a team of developers who are customised to your goals 
  • Accelerate innovation and build products faster 
  • Flexibility to scale the team up and down 

 

Enable has created two business-altering benefits, that have demonstrated increased team collaboration, productivity and employee happiness; much like we experienced with our own teams in Mason Alexander:


  • Our community of elite developers can work with companies to build products they are genuinely excited about and have the added freedom to work from wherever they want. 
  • Our partners can now mobile a software development team that can be fully integrated in-to their business in a matter of weeks. 


The world of work has fundamentally changed forever. There is a new approach to how organisations and people engage. We feel a great responsibility to enhance this evolution; the benefits are too great not to. 


In summary, Enable is: 


  • Forming teams of developers for ambitious and disruptive tech companies 
  • Connecting developers to companies that will impact and accelerate their career 
  • Building our community to 20,000 developers across Europe and the US 
  • Enabling companies to go through funding rounds with more confidence, faster access to engineers, better retention and less disruption.
