Maven X was founded by professionals driven by their continual pursuit for learning, getting better, and helping others. We have been working with technology outside of Maven X for more than 10 years. Our team holds various degrees and certifications in their respective fields.
Outside of Maven X, our team has designed countless websites, worked with various customers, started their own businesses, work on various design projects, and keep themselves up to date and always learning.
Yes! Maven X continually networks in Miami, FL. We have a solid network of tech professionals, graphic designers, social media experts, photographers, video editors/producers, production professionals, and so much more. We are always looking to meet new people! Feel free to reach out to us!
Maven X was started when the team noticed how much businesses in Miami-Dade could improve with a better online experience and valuable business guidance. We have a lot of useful information and experience that can greatly help so many businesses and we know we can do it better than what’s currently available in the market.
Maven Edu was founded to help fill the void of information that should have been taught in K-12 and Higher Education. These courses are designed to help fine tune the students’ skills and drive them to do better.
Absolutely not! We are more than interested in helping you and your business located anywhere in the world!
We are just proud to call Miami and South Florida home!
Maven is defined as an expert or connoisseur in something. The X is the placeholder for our services and products.
We are experts or connoisseurs in all of our services and products we offer. Maven X is the primary business while our products have various other names. The X is there to not limit ourselves from expanding and adding more professional services and products to our company.
We are always looking to partner with other professionals in other industries such as; multimedia design, social media, marketing, production, film/video, etc. If this is you, please reach out to us!
Maven X is founded and run by young professionals who have been in the traditional corporate environment for a few years. From these years, our team has quickly found out what works and doesn’t work with the traditional ways of doing business and consulting. Maven X takes the best from traditional consulting but takes the agile and flexible approach from NextGen Consulting as a Service (CaaS) to deliver a more precise service/product at a much more affordable price point.
We did! We have an incredibly talent team of designers skilled in various types of media and design.
Most complex websites will require more than 24 hours of web design time. Additional consulting hours can be purchased as an add-on. If there will be a significant amount of additional hours needed, our team is more than willing to work on a package of hours to help complete the site and deliver exactly what you are looking for.
We utilize Amazon Web Services (AWS)! AWS is industry leading in cloud services. Most of your favorite websites are hosted on AWS; Netflix, Spotify, and Hulu are all on AWS.
Being hosted on a cloud computing service allows for Maven X to quickly upgrade and expand your website’s capabilities when needed. For example, if you are having a massive sale and are expecting 3X web traffic in a week; your website can be scaled up temporarily to handle the traffic and scaled back down to save on hosting costs during low utilization times!
Absolutely! If you need your hosting speed upgraded temporarily (a few days or weeks at a time) or upgraded permanently, we have you covered. Simply reach out to our team and we will let you know the price changes.
Prices are subject to change based on AWS’ prices.
The site maintenance includes website updates such as core updates, theme updates, and plugin updates. Additionally, we keep your database and the underlying website infrastructure up-to-date.
Why is this important? As software is released new bugs and vulnerabilities are discovered and later patched. This helps keep your website running smoothly and keeps it secure.
Custom courses are created and designed specifically for you, your website, and setup. These courses are to help you and your team learn how to perform specific tasks on your website. These courses empower you to take control of your own website without the need for Maven X to update for you.
Web Presence is an add-on that helps you identify where your clients and customers are looking for you. Once we identify those locations we will request updates from you monthly and update all these locations for you.
For example, if you are a pizza shop with an online website. Customers might be looking for you on: Uber Eats, Slice Life, Doordash, Google My Business, Google Maps, Apple Maps, etc. They could be looking at how to order or what your hours are. We keep all those places up to date so that you don’t disappoint your customers with out of date information at places you weren’t aware of.
The monthly fee for Maven Web is for the following:
Instead of setting up billing for the various services, we purchase them on your behalf and bundle it together for you.

Documents are researched and customized documents for you and your organization based on the service topic. These are professionally written documents created to give you guidance on the topic, where you are, what you should do, and how you can get there.
Productivity Tools are typically SaaS tools that are offered by other businesses. Maven X helps you setup and configure the application(s) to work specifically for you and your organization.
Since each document and productivity tool implementation is hyper unique to you and your organization, we cannot provide pricing online.
We will first setup a discovery call with you to identify the problems you want Maven Strategy to solve. From there we estimate the amount of research, writing time, and professional peer reviews are needed in order to provide a quote.
All Maven Strategy documents comes with a dually branded document with both the client and Maven X. The documents will contain plans, recommendations, implementation steps, estimated costs, and more.
Since productivity tools work best when customized, Maven X must first document and outline the way the productivity tool(s) will work for your organization. This is a way to ensure that we are going to deliver the tool in the way that solves the organization’s issues.
The process included in the Productivity Tools Strategy Document must be completed prior to implementing any Productivity Tool, even outside of Maven Strategy. Without clear guidance, and approval from you, on the implementation method of the tool we might not provide you with the best solution.
Every project is different. During our consultation call with you we will give an estimated dat for project completion.
As a Maven X client you also have access to the Maven X Client Portal where you can view the current status and progress of the project with any up-to-date timelines.
Yes! If you look at our design stats, designs are becoming more and more important to customers and brands alike. Having good designs will immediately improve your branding.
Additionally, we parter with some incredible branding and marketing companies that can help you take your branding even further.
Nope! We want to remove any barriers between you and the best design services to help you and your business. We want to fully understand your needs before starting a project to ensure that you are getting exactly what you need. For that reason you can reach out to us anytime for anything through our contact form.
Yes! All Maven Design packages include access to the source project file(s). You own the design following the completion of the project.
Depending on the project and design tool(s) used you will receive the following file types: Photoshop (.psd), Illustrator (.ai), Premiere Pro (.pproj), and After Effects (.aep).
Yes and no. If your project includes royalty free audio or stock photo/videos you will have ownership based on the individual licenses.
You will own the entire design, files, and custom media created by Maven X. If your project does not have royalty free audio or stock images/video you own the complete design.
Each of our Maven X packages are designed with step-by-step processes with each package being unique. As a Maven X client you will have access to the Maven X Client Portal. In your project page you will see all the steps we take to complete your project.
We utilize our Maven X Client Portal to deliver all of your files. The Client Portal is a safe and secure portal for you to gain access to all project files.
If you would like another delivery format, just let us know and we will accommodate you.
If you would like Maven X to store your media files long term, for an additional fee, we can store your files on our cloud environment for fast and easy access!
We first start with a consultation to get to know your design needs. From there it depends based on the package. Most design packages do not require any other input from you (except for approvals). However, some packages require information and files from you. Through our Maven X Client Portal we will send you forms that will request this information from you. Fast and simple!
Cloud Studio provides a managed service, which is built on leading cloud infrastructure, ensuring performant computing power and security of your data with the following additional benefits:
Elastic production: Cloud Studio allows studios to scale artists’ workstations, storage, and rendering needs based on demand, enabling studios to take on larger and more demanding projects. Cloud Studio also provides the flexibility to scale back down when projects are completed.
Collaboration and increased velocity: Cloud Studio’s globally accessible data storage empowers studios to leverage artists globally and share assets quickly.
Cloud Studio uses high performance, scalable leading cloud storage and virtual workstations to ensure clients can deliver complex, high-quality content without worrying about the burden of current gear limitations. Thanks to cloud-based data access, you can start working on assigned tasks instantly and deliver results faster. Unlike on-premises infrastructure, cloud-based virtual workstations and render infrastructure is scalable, allowing clients to utilize instances with higher vCPUs or RAM when required.
Security at Maven X is the highest priority. Data is encrypted at rest and in transit, using various encryption, including encryption of all traffic on cloud global and regional networks. Data is additionally protected by Cloud Studio administrators who control IAM permissions for project access.
Additionally, our cloud provider manages and controls the components, from the host operating system and virtualization layer down to the physical security of the facilities in which the services operate.
Depending on the size and amount of assets, Maven X will recommend one of the following: upload via the internet, using an on-site data sync server, or by shipping your data on a specialized device to the cloud provider.
Absolutely! You are able to still utilize all the current gear you still own. Cloud Studio and Cloud Backup can either be a compliment to your current gear or serve as a way to replace your current gear in the future!
Maven X uses top of the line scanning tools to scan your website for vulnerabilities. A vulnerability is a weakness which can be exploited by a hacker, such as an attacker, to cross privilege boundaries within a computer system.
A vulnerability scan is used to assess computers, networks or applications for known weaknesses. This allows Maven X to properly protect your website before a hack could happen.
A web application firewall is a specific form of application firewall that filters, monitors, and blocks web traffic to and from a web service.
These firewalls aren’t as simple as enabling it and that’s it. Maven X will setup specific rules and settings that are custom to your site and its functionality.
If you operate a physical store location it is important to perform checks of your physical network from time to time.
Maven X will go onsite once a year to check: wireless settings, separate network traffic, change passwords, check the on-site firewall, and more.
Yes! Denial of Service, or Distributed Denial of Service, attacks are common. They can happen either by accident (poor security or system configurations with legitimate web traffic) or maliciously (by someone targeting your website specifically).
A DoS attack will make your website and systems unavailable to legitimate traffic until the attack ends.
The monthly fee for Maven Cyber is for the following:
Instead of setting up billing for the various services, we purchase them on your behalf and bundle it together for you.

The returns on security assessments are great and each one matters differently to each organization. A few ROI examples are the following:
Insurance Savings – Most cybersecurity insurance companies will provide discounts to companies who regularly have security audits. Why? Because you’re minimizing your potential risks for a breach making it less likely.
Due Diligence – Due diligence is your friend following a breach or any security issue at your business. It shows that you are trying to be proactive in securing your business on a regular basis.
Regulatory – Security assessments are required by almost all regulators.
Reputation – A breach causes irreparable harm to your reputation. By showing due diligence and trying your best to prevent a breach from happening in the first place is a great way to show your clients that you were working towards your security.
Money – A breach is going to cost immensely more than a security assessment.
If you have any sort of digital devices or IT within your business, then you are at risk.
Cybersecurity risks are rising faster than ever, especially following the COVID-19 pandemic. Small to large businesses alike have just as much to lose in a cyber breach.
A cybersecurity assessment is like a physical. It helps you test the health and wellbeing of your cybersecurity, diagnose the problems, and provide the right remedy.
The Maven Startup package has been specifically designed for companies who are starting and want to get a jump start on their technology implementation. The package is discounted from the other Maven X packages and provides additional services that provide great insight and value to new businesses.
If you don’t meet the requirements of Maven Startup, that’s ok! You are still able to purchase each Maven X package individually for the normal package price.
The Maven Startup package is really your one-stop-shop as a new business who is looking to get online as quick as possible, implement cutting-edge technologies, and save time in planning/strategy items.
You make one purchase and you in turn get an entire team behind you to help you launch your business!
The business Equity Purchase payment option we believe is very unique to Maven X. This option allows new businesses with low amounts of capital to receive our loaded Maven Startup package by exchanging investment options into the business instead of money directly.
You then have Maven X as direct investors in your business!
The Equity Purchase Option isn’t available to everyone and is subject to review. A business may be rejected for any reason. Discretion is completely up to Maven X to pursue an equity exchange.
We have outlined the process from start to finish with this easy to follow page here!
The Business Roadmap document is a document that Maven X will deliver to you that includes a multitude of different things. The document is a plan for you and your business on how to reach your desired goals. Think of the document as a mentor’s plan and suggestions on how to succeed.
Maven X is behind you and your business completely. This document is meant to help take you beyond the services that Maven X offers and lead you and your business into fruition!
You can use your consulting hours on various different things! We do limit these hours to tasks and work that Maven X is qualified to perform. This can include:
If consulting hours are unused at the end of the first year, they cannot be returned or refunded.
We want to keep the Maven Startup package as low priced as possible. Unfortunately security platforms and services are not cheap. The bulk of our monthly fees come from those security platforms and services we utilize. We feel that these services aren’t best utilized by a startup as they are still building their company.
In order to save a larger monthly fee, we have decided to cut the Maven Cyber Package offering in Maven Startup.
If you are interested in getting the full package we can absolutely add those monthly security services to your Maven X account!
Yes and no. The Equity Purchase allows you to receive the Maven Startup package without purchasing directly with money.
Maven X will review your business and decide to invest in your business instead. The business equity, royalties, among other things will meet or exceed the price of the Maven Startup Package. Each Equity Purchase will be different.
The Equity Purchase Option isn’t available to everyone and is subject to review. A business may be rejected for any reason. Discretion is completely up to Maven X to pursue an equity exchange.
We have outlined the process from start to finish with this easy to follow page here!

Currently we have two types of training; our employee training and our self-service training.
The employee training can be accessed either through our Maven Edu LMS or your own corporate LMS. The self-service courses are available through our Maven Edu LMS.
Our PCI DSS training courses are available online and can be accessed at any time. They include interactive quizzes, real-world scenarios, and customizable content to fit the specific needs of your organization. Our courses cover a range of topics, from a generic introduction to PCI DSS to a deep dive on how to assess PCI DSS like a pro.
Yes, the PCI DSS kickoff video is customizable to fit the specific needs of your organization. This includes the option to add your organization’s branding and logo, as well as personalized support and guidance from our team of PCI DSS experts.
Maven X will discuss with you and receive the necessary information to customize the presentation video. We will then customize and record the video without anymore required input from you!
Yes, we offer hourly consulting services with our team of PCI DSS professionals. This includes personalized support and guidance, as well as the option to purchase blocks of time at a discounted rate.
Our PCI Professionals hold either ISA, QSA, or PCI-P certifications.
Please note that Maven X is not a QSAC and cannot sign reports on your behalf.
Yes, the PCI DSS workbook is fully customizable to fit the specific needs of your organization. Once our Airtable template is transferred to you, you have fully customization ability to make it your own.
The PCI DSS presentation template is delivered as a digital download in PowerPoint format and is self-service through our Maven X Store. It is easy to customize with your organization’s branding and logo and includes easy-to-follow guidelines and customizable content to fit your specific needs.
Since the presentation template is self-service, we do not customize it for you. Since the template is easy to customize, you can edit it with ease at your own pace.
Our PCI DSS templates are updated regularly to ensure that they are in line with the latest PCI DSS standards. No updates are included in any of the presentation templates
For the Workbook and Awareness Training, we offer the option for ongoing updates and new content as PCI DSS evolves, so you can be confident that you are always using the most up-to-date resources.
If there are major updates to the PCI DSS standard, we will release updates to our products and give you an option to upgrade.
The Awareness Training course is updated annually to re-align and comply with the new PCI 4.0 training requirements. These require an annual re-purchase to get access to the latest course material.
No. Maven Edu is not accredited anywhere as such we do not have degrees. Our courses are designed to be helpful professional building courses that do not necessarily reflect in a traditional education environment.
This doesn’t mean that our courses don’t have meat to them. All of our course content has been thoroughly researched and reviewed by multiple professionals in the area before it is released.
Currently, no. There currently aren’t enough courses available that we feel would give value to a subscription… yet! As we continue to create new courses and build our library we will continually review if a subscription model would be best for our customers!
Maven Edu functions very differently from our other service offerings. Maven Edu is designed to be very automated and as a self-service site. As such we were better able to customize the look and feel of the Edu site to match the level of detail we were looking for with a learning platform site.
Maven Edu is designed to be self-service. You are able to go to the Maven Edu site, find a course you are interested in, add the course to your cart, check out, and receive access to the course immediately!
