Building businesses, not slides

Unlike traditional strategy consultants, we take a hands-on approach to innovation. We not only strategise, we also execute.

We combine a Venture Capital mindset with an entrepreneurial spirit to build the most promising business opportunities.

Innovation that leads to impact

We've seen innovation theatre suffocate companies from the inside out. That's why we provide an end-to-end approach to corporate innovation, from strategy to seed and scale.

Data-driven decision making

We believe in making data-driven decisions rather than working based on assumptions or flashy trends. We use data to identify opportunities and develop strategies that can deliver maximum impact.

Strategy combined with execution

We provide the guidance, resources, and tools you need to quickly move from idea to execution - all while ensuring that your innovation efforts are aligned with your overall business strategy.

World-class, founder-led builder

Our team is made up of experienced strategists, data scientists, and operational experts who have the experience and knowledge to help you succeed.
