Corporate & institutional partners

Build the ventures your core business cannot.

We forge deep, multi-year relationships with corporates, institutions and investors, creating joint ventures and programmes that hold equity in the startups we build and fund together.

01 / What partners do with us

Four ways to work together.

01

Build new ventures

Identify opportunities, design concepts, build the technology and launch startups together, with shared equity.

02

Invest in the top ventures

Access proprietary deal flow and emerging technologies shaped by operators, not pitch decks.

03

Innovate with entrepreneurs

Embed builders and operators in your organisation to accelerate initiatives that internal teams cannot prioritise.

04

Drive change and self-disruption

Build defensibility by testing new strategies, business models and revenue streams outside the core.

02 / What partners gain

Beyond innovation theatre.

Partnerships are structured to return value in more than one form: equity in new companies, learning inside the organisation and commercial opportunities that the core business can use immediately.
