Our Pillars

We drive impact through solutions that generate value, and we deliver that value through innovation in three ways:

/Creating

To truly harness innovation, you have to look beyond your business to the wider innovation landscape and find a way to bring it in. We help corporates to create powerful venture funnels – bringing ideas and talent in and aligning it with your corporate objectives.

What we do:

  • Work with you to design a programme that is right for you and your objectives

  • Execute the programme from planning to delivery and beyond (commercialization)

  • Source and scout the right start-ups for the programme, ensuring they are at the right stage and in the right fields

  • Create the KPIs and management of the programme needed to hit your objectives

/Unlocking

Corporates invest in and create intellectual property and patents all of the time. What they don’t always have an opportunity to do is commercialize them. We ensure there are no missed opportunities. We carry out a structured review of existing IP to understand where the big opportunities are. Once we have identified them, we can help to create, incubate and activate “spin-out ventures.”

What we do:

  • Work with you to undertake a structured review of latent or underutilized corporate IP to identify opportunities for cross-sector application and commercial opportunities.

  • Initiatives based on the IP are then created and proceed through funnel stages in which problem-solution fit, product-market fit, and investor readiness are validated.

  • Commercialize ventures by accessing a global ecosystem of talent, clients, and funding.

  • Create a repeatable process in which funding, external founder talent, and support is aligned to only the most promising (and tested) ventures

/Realising

We know that corporate venture capital models don’t always get it right. We have made it our business to understand how they should be approached. It all started with some in-depth analysis into the market – understanding who does it well and how they do it.

What we do:

  • Work with you to understand your goals and potential opportunities

  • Share tailored recommendations based on our research and framework

  • Identify the KPIs needed to deliver maximum value to all parties

  • Design, build and help you execute Corporate Venture Capital 2.0
