About Us.

We tackle the commercialisation challenges faced by university spin-outs and address the funding gap from early-stage innovation to scale-up by:

  • Unlocking capital through innovative funding structures, including non-dilutive financing

  • Creating tailored commercialisation pathways supported by professionals with strong business and industry expertise.

  • Advancing investor knowledge through in-depth sector research and the development of compelling theses.

We match technical founders with a dedicated team of fellows to execute strategic and commercial projects that have clearly defined timelines and deliverables. Our fellows are MBA students and alumni from prestigious institutions like LBS, INSEAD, and Oxbridge, with an average of over five years of experience at leading industry organisations.

OUR FOCUS

We are stage and region agnostic, but target sectors that deliver significant positive impact for our climate.
