Strategy for the
networked age
Capitalize on
structural shifts
From strategy to pricing. Product design to organizational design. Branding to go-to-market strategies, we’re here to help you unleash the power of networked consumers and gain an edge on market shifts. Get to know us.
We design, build, fund and scale digital-age companies
We are specialists in strategy and marketing. We work with tech start-ups as they scale, with incumbents as they launch new business units, and with universities as they spin out commercial projects.
We give your business an unfair advantage
We work with a few, great companies and become deeply embedded in their operations and culture.
Services
We help our clients overcome the challenges of reaching attention-poor clients and the related high cost of acquisition. We help them to build content that cuts above the noise, to convey their brand promise more concisely and impactfully.
We work with companies and their investors to navigate through the digital transition. We help them to study the new fitness landscape to design, launch and scale business models that maximize demand-side economies of scale.
We invest in the companies we work with. Once we feel comfortable enough to invest our time on a project, we’re normally also ready to invest our capital, too. As well as giving upside potential, it helps to align risks and rewards.
