How each company describes itself
SERIOUS.BUSINESS
SERIOUS.BUSINESS presents itself as a premium branding agency for B2B tech scaleups, “crafting premium brands for scaleups that make people smile.” Its about page says it started in 2015 at Hyper Island in Stockholm and that a team of 15 creatives has worked with over 180 scaleups in Europe and the Americas.
Services cover brand strategy, visual identity, websites, and product design. The company is registered in Munich, lists Stockholm too, and works fully remote. Work shown includes MissionZero, Zellerfeld, Rudy Capital, and Yuri. LinkedIn lists 11–50 employees.
Humbleteam
Recognition is easy to check for us: 80+ design awards since 2017, among them 14 Awwwards wins and Red Dot, Webby, and Behance awards, plus a 4.9 rating on Clutch across 35 reviews.
Behind that is product work. We have shipped 56 fintechs and worked with 30+ major banks, and our 49 people in Prague and Dubai move quickly: a B2B banking MVP for ING Amsterdam went from zero to a tested product in 5 days.
Why B2B teams choose Humbleteam over SERIOUS.BUSINESS
Three reasons, each tied to a published number.
A tested B2B product in 5 days
A B2B banking MVP we designed with ING Amsterdam went from zero to tested in 5 days. Logitech’s workplace desk-booking app, website, and design system were in production within 4 weeks. An average brief reaches a clickable prototype in 2 weeks, and AI skills make our app and web design 20–40% faster.
B2B products with hard rules
We design the logged-in side of B2B: permissions, payments, compliance states, and dashboards. That covers 56 fintechs, 30+ major banks, and cybersecurity work for Acronis. Five YC-backed fintechs keep our designers in their in-house team, and we install AI agents inside client design teams for handoff, QA, and design-to-code drafts.
80+ awards and a 4.9 Clutch rating
Since 2017 we have won 80+ design awards, including 14 Awwwards wins, and shipped 200+ projects. Clients rate us 4.9 on Clutch across 35 reviews, and the recurring words are speed, flexibility, and structure. The senior designers on a project average 9 years of experience, and 70% of clients return.

When SERIOUS.BUSINESS is the better call
Two situations where SERIOUS.BUSINESS fits better.
A deep-tech scaleup brand
Their work includes carbon technology for MissionZero, 3D printing for Zellerfeld, and biotech for Yuri. A B2B deep-tech company that needs a premium brand and website before its next round fits that portfolio.
Budget bands shown up front
Their project form lists budget ranges from €15k to €25k up to €100k and above. A buyer who wants to see the bands before the first call gets that on their site.
