WHO WE WORK WITH
Investors & corporates
VC · PE · corporate venture · banks · tech
We reduce portfolio execution risk, pre- and post-investment.
The same issues repeat across portfolio companies. We surface them early and give leadership teams practical direction.
Programme operators
Innovation hubs · government · universities
We raise cohort quality without redesigning your programme.
Teams align before the programme starts, so your time goes on growth rather than firefighting fundamentals.
Spaces
Coworking operators · innovation campuses
A vetted cohort fills desks, then converts to members.
We bring the programme, the founders and the content campaig, driving occupancy and retention, without marketing spend.
Most startups don’t fail because of effort.
They stall because of hidden friction.
OUR SERVICES
One method, delivered at three depths.
01.
Scale-readiness audits
A fixed-scope diagnostic across strategy, market and resilience. You get the gaps, and what to do about them.
02.
Growth workshops
Facilitated sessions for portfolio companies, cohorts and internal teams. Delivered around your programme, not instead of it.
03.
Accelerators
We design the curriculum, curate the mentor and investor network, vet the cohort and run Demo Day. Five phases, end to end.

Consultants hand over a strategy. We build and run the programme that delivers it - curriculum, mentors, investor network, cohort selection and Demo Day. Every engagement uses the same diagnostic across three dimensions: how the company works, how it wins in the market, and how it stays ahead. The depth changes; the method doesn't.
-
Three depths. A scale-readiness audit is a fixed-scope diagnostic delivered in about a day — you get a written assessment and a prioritised list of what to fix. A growth workshop is a facilitated session for a cohort, portfolio or internal team, from half a day to multi-week. An accelerator is the full build: eight weeks, five phases, ending in a Demo Day.
-
Post-idea, pre-scale — companies with a product and early traction that are hitting friction rather than looking for direction. Pre-seed to Series A is the sweet spot. Audits work at any stage, including pre-investment diligence.
-
Either as a component or as the whole thing. Operators typically use an audit or workshop before their cohort starts, so programme time goes on growth rather than fundamentals. Or we build and run the programme end to end, including the parts that are hardest to staff — mentor curation, investor access and Demo Day.
-
A written diagnostic, a prioritised fix list, and leadership alignment on who does what. On the accelerator: an investor-ready pitch and fundraising strategy, a commercial roadmap, a scaling plan, and access to our mentor, investor and corporate network.

It depends on depth, cohort size and how much of the ecosystem we're building for you. Tell us what you're working with and we'll come back with a shape and a cost.
