Independent Advisory for Industry Corporations

Innovation that works - without the noise. Corporate innovation is notoriously hard. Many initiatives never scale because they’re disconnected from core business strategy or trapped in internal complexity.

Innovation labs get launched, venture funds get built, but few reach real commercial impact. The challenge isn’t ideas - it’s alignment, execution, and structure. We know, because we’ve built both corporate innovation programs and startups from scratch.

For Corporations

We’ve built corporate-backed innovation programs, venture funds, and startups ourselves. Now we help both sides get it right - with clarity, neutrality, and real-world experience.

When to Work With Us

Where We Create the Most Impact

  • Strategy & Direction

    Corporates work with us when innovation ambitions need clarity and direction. Whether choosing the right model - lab, accelerator, CVC, or venture clienting, or deciding between building, partnering, or investing, we help teams align around a strategy that actually sticks.

  • Governance & Structure

    We step in when internal structures slow things down. From procurement and governance to partnership models and spin-out design, we help corporates create frameworks that enable innovation instead of blocking it, with incentives and execution aligned across teams.

  • Venture & Collaboration

    When corporates work with startups or build new ventures, we bring clarity. We support decisions around venture programs, CVC, accelerators, and commercial structures, ensuring collaborations are well-designed, de-risked, and tied to real business outcomes.

    After validating the concept internally, the real challenge begins, taking it to market. That’s when we look outside for the people and perspectives that can help us scale and bring the venture to life.
