We have worked with companies like BP, Halma
and Capita to cultivate and aid their intrapreneurs in creating and
launching new growth propositions. We also run programmes to find and
accelerate existing start-ups that have strategic value for firms including
Facebook and ITV.

Our tailor-made programmes are developed and ran based on our
clients’ goals, industry context and unique attributes – these might include
validating and de-risking early-stage bets that could transform your
industry, reaching new demographics with alternative concepts, or
strengthening your ecosystem through adding value to key
participants.

Our Approach #

  • 1. DESIGN

    Do we have clarity on what we want the programme to
    achieve and how we can best achieve it?

    Develop the strategic goals of the programme that
    will leverage their unique assets and design the overall
    structure to maximise effectiveness.

  • 2. SOURCE & SELECT

    Have we identified and selected the best business ideas
    and entrepreneurial teams for the programme?

    Perform outreach and source credible participants
    that fit the goals of the programme and meet the participation
    criteria. Evaluate the applications and facilitate the selection
    process, often engaging high profile panellists to select the
    final list of participants.

  • 3. ONBOARD, MENTOR & MANAGE

    How will we provide significant value to the
    participants to supercharge their businesses?

    Deliver sessions mixing bespoke, individual founder
    coaching with group sessions for core concept
    upskilling.

  • 4. SET CLEAR EXPECTATIONS

    Are we giving participants very clear expectations of
    what is needed to succeed at each stage?

    We help our client set ambitious goals for the
    entrepreneurs and then measure progress towards them, creating
    focus for the participants and clarity for our client.

  • 5. DRIVE IMPACT

    Are we extracting maximum strategic value from the
    programme?

    Identify and structure clear next steps according to
    the overall goals of the programme. This may mean spinning out
    or in the highest potential businesses, making an investment,
    structuring strategic partnerships with the core or extracting
    crucial learnings for the business.
