North & Ives

North & Ives is a 12-person brand strategy and identity studio based in Brooklyn, working almost exclusively with climate, health, and consumer-tech founders. The team’s approach starts with positioning before a single pixel is designed — most engagements begin with a two-week discovery sprint that shapes the naming, voice, and visual system that follows. Since 2014, they’ve built identities for over 60 venture-backed companies, several of which have gone on to raise Series B and beyond under the brand North & Ives shaped at seed stage.
