Case Study: Rockstep launches cloud-based research management with Freeport Metrics

Rockstep launches Climb™ and secures $1.5M NIH grant with Freeport Metrics

Rockstep Solutions, an innovative startup, aimed to revolutionize animal research labs with its cloud-based software, Climb™. They faced the challenge of outdated and counter-intuitive software dominating the industry, which lacked necessary functionality for scientists. To bring their vision to life and secure essential funding, they partnered with vendor Freeport Metrics.

Freeport Metrics provided strategic business consulting to help Rockstep secure a $1.5 million NIH grant and investor funding. They implemented a scrum framework for project management, serving as Scrum Master, Product Owner, and QA specialist to define requirements and prioritize development for a successful MVP launch. With the support of Freeport Metrics, Rockstep successfully launched Climb™ and is poised for significant disruption in the field.
