For corporate innovation teams

Validate ventures
at startup speed.

We work as an external R&D team for corporate ventures: functional proof-of-concept prototypes in 3-6 week cycles, with the documentation and data your stakeholders need for a go/no-go decision.

Modern corporate office building

01 - The situation

The market moves faster than your approval process.

Why corporate ventures stall

  • Internal teams are committed to the core business, not the experiment
  • Procurement and approval cycles outlast the market opportunity
  • Ideas get judged on slide decks because nothing functional exists
  • By the time the pilot is approved, a startup has shipped it

How we work around that

  • An external team that starts in weeks, not quarters
  • Working prototypes instead of concept presentations
  • Startup pace with documentation your organization can consume
  • Validation data before the big budget conversation, not after

02 - What we offer

Three engagement models

01

Proof of concept

Proof of concept development for one venture idea: a working prototype, built in a 3-6 week cycle.

What it is

We take one idea, define what would prove or disprove it, and build a functional prototype that real users can touch - not a clickable mockup.

What you get

A demo for your stakeholders, user feedback, an architecture document, and a clear recommendation: scale it or stop it.

02

Pilot alongside production

Modernization or AI proof-of-concept pilots that run next to your existing systems without touching them.

What it is

We build the pilot in parallel to your current stack, integrate read-only where possible, and design the migration path only after the pilot proves itself.

What you get

Real-world results without risk to core operations - and a tested migration plan instead of a big-bang rewrite proposal.

03

Ongoing venture partner

A standing external team for innovation portfolios with more ideas than bandwidth.

What it is

We run multiple experiments per quarter for your innovation unit, with shared learnings and consistent reporting across all of them.

What you get

A predictable pipeline of validated (and invalidated) concepts, without hiring a lab's worth of engineers.

03 - The cycle

From idea to go/no-go

Proof of concept
Decision

Hypothesis. A sharp question, scoped to a 3-6 week budget.

Step 1

Scoping workshop

We define the riskiest assumption of the venture and what evidence would settle it.

Step 2

Prototype

3-6 weeks of rapid software prototyping. Weekly demos, so there are no surprises at the end.

Step 3

Validation

The prototype meets real users. We collect usage data and feedback, and assess technical feasibility.

Step 4

Recommendation

A written go/no-go recommendation with the data, architecture, and scaling plan to back it.

04 - Proof

How this looks in practice

Real engagements with clients in a similar situation - what they needed, how the engagement ran, and what they walked away with.

From email chains to a tamper-evident traceability platform

A small team, three months, from blank repository to a working multi-tenant traceability platform for industrial decommissioning: one shared record per project, custody events for every material hand-off, and a cryptographically chained audit trail.

From Excel sprawl to an AI roadmap

How a workshop-first engagement gave a European factory network a grounded answer to where AI actually pays off - a prioritized use case shortlist, a roadmap ready for stakeholder approval, and one proof of concept specified for immediate implementation.
