Our Methodologies
Intrapreneurial Development
We holistically assess areas of strategic organisational interests and develop a clear plan to commercialise both your developed as well as undervalued assets. Additionally, we apply our proprietary know-how to build a tailored intrapreneurial culture that allows your members to fulfill their untapped potential.
Healthcheck
We analyse your organisation to develop a thorough understanding of your innovation status quo. Based on this information, we develop an operational plan that balances your strategic goals, market trends, benefactors’ alignment and risk profile.
Extraction
We evaluate and shortlist the best talents and high-potential assets within your company, and run relevant workshops to provide your senior stakeholders with a hands-on link to potential opportunities from within your organization and local ecosystem.
Integration
For each identified asset, we use our wider network and in-house expertise to validate the commercial viability and develop a milestone plan. Where relevant, we facilitate further integration with appropriate technology service providers and investors.
External innovation
Exposure to this disruptive deep science ecosystem expands your market intelligence, whilst providing your organisation with potential clients or assets that could be internalised into your own pipeline.
Horizontal
We provide your organisation with access to our own curated in-house deal-flow. As a partner, your organisation interacts with pre-vetted ventures across a range of different fields which can be complementary to your interests.
Vertical
We work closely with your organisation to identify areas of interest for external innovation. Subsequently, we build intake themes around these areas and we focus on developing and/or supporting founding teams that have the potential to create and/or develop novel science ventures in those areas.
