Lutes Solutions connects funded startups with student teams from LUT University to solve real business challenges. With our pay-what-you-want model, startups set their own prize money to reward the best solution.
Created for small teams with big ambitions.
Designed for start-ups
We work exclusively with funded startups that have small teams and big goals. Our process helps you move faster by turning challenges into clear, practical solutions that support your next stage of growth.
You choose the price
For our services, we are using pay-what-you-want model. Before we start a 4-day or 4 week project, you decide the price money for the team with the best solution for your startup. This prize is used to motivate students to create the most innovative and high-impact solutions for your business challenge.
Simple and hassle-free
We manage the full process from start to finish so you don’t have to. All you need to do is share your challenge, join the kickoff and final event, and receive ready-to-use results at the end.
New perspectives from top talent at LUT University
Lutes Solutions was created to help growing startups tackle real problems with fresh ideas. We connect founders with talented student teams from LUT University who combine business, engineering, and technology expertise to create solutions for your start-up.
Our projects are designed to deliver practical outcomes that can be applied right away. Startups are given the opportunity to choose their own price money to motivate the student teams. This adds a competitive edge that drives even better results.
From challenges to solutions
We start with a short call to understand your startup’s goals and main challenge. Together we define the project focus and what kind of outcome you want to achieve.
Your startup presents its challenge to the student teams. This session helps them understand your business and sets the direction for the project.
For the next four days or weeks, student teams work independently on your challenge. During this time they research, analyze, and develop practical solutions based on the information shared during the kickoff event.
At the end of the project, the teams present their solutions directly to you. You’ll receive actionable recommendations that can be applied immediately. You can also set a prize money to the team you find the best.
Choose the right case format for your startup
Every startup’s challenge is unique. Whether you’re testing a new idea or solving a complex business problem, our LUT student teams deliver actionable insights that match your goals and timeline.
