Projects + Clients + Collaborators
Startling are very proud to work with some of the nicest, most passionate people and businesses in the region.
We work with businesses in many different ways – we deliver projects… but we also have regular clients, and many frequent collaborators.
Many of the projects we work on are currently attracting funding or in development… so we can’t talk about them here.
Here are some that we can.
About Us
Startling is a collective founded by Dan Akers, a Business Analyst with over 20 years experience.
After a decade working for large corporate clients, Dan switched to the agency side in 2010. He’s a well known face throughout the region, both from project work, and from presenting at hundred of workshops and events.
For projects that require a team, we assemble the best people for your project from our huge network. We know a lot of amazing people, and have many frequent collaborators.
Startling is an analysis driven agency not a development agency. We’re not willing to say whatever you want to hear to sign off the next big project. We’re 100% honest, and always complete up-front analysis before we provide costs or timelines.

We’re super friendly, and always happy to talk about what you need.
