The company name, Thinknik, was derived from ‘beatnik’ for three reasons.  First, the beatnik era was incredibly innovative and creative.  Second, those hep cats did all that creative work without dropping a lot of dough.  Third, they were fast (Jack Kerouac wrote “On the Road” in just three weeks).

Thinknik captures the speed, creativity and affordability that the beat generation represents…without the Benzedrine, of course.  Just ask any company that has worked with Thinknik founder, Brian Diehl.  He’s worked with billion-dollar organizations like NEC America and has also helped scads of smaller companies get their footing; North Coast Logic Inc. was sold for millions, Ayalogic Inc. was awarded $2,000,000 in venture capital, Euphonyx now has $1,000,000 in start-up capital and Cutter Equipment Company is now the world’s largest dealer in used turf equipment.  Diehl worked with these start-ups, each from the start.  Coincidence?  We think not.

Affordable, fast and creative:  Thinknik

Oh, one other thing.  Thinknik doesn’t mark up costs incurred along the way – we pass along the original invoices.  We’re out to make a living off our own work – not by exploiting the masses!  Now, that’s groovy.
