For family offices, conglomerates and holdings

New businesses, drawn from what your group already holds.

Your operating companies hold customer relationships, distribution, licences and data that a new venture can use from its first day. We build that venture, fully owned by the family, and the engagement stays confidential.

Typical challenges

Where a venture can begin.

  1. 01

    An operating company keeps paying for the same problem, and every supplier who could solve it is a vendor rather than an owner.

  2. 02

    A licence, a dataset or a network the group holds generates nothing on its own.

  3. 03

    The next generation wants to build, and the group wants it built to a standard, with the ownership kept inside the family.

  4. 04

    Diversification is a mandate, and every option so far has been a fund, a stake, or a deck.

Why us

What is different here.

  1. 01

    Ownership stays with the family

    IP is assigned to you as it is produced. Fees are fixed. We hold no equity unless you invite us to co-invest, and that is never a condition of an engagement.

  2. 02

    Confidential by default

    We do not name clients, publish case material or speak about your engagement without written consent. References are given privately.

  3. 03

    A founder in the room

    The person accountable for delivery leads the engagement personally. There is no hand-off after the first meeting.

  4. 04

    Evidence before capital

    Validation exists so that the family funds a build only when real customers have said they would pay. If the answer is no, you receive it in writing.

  5. 05

    Built to run without us

    The venture is handed over with its own locally staffed team and its documentation. Dependence on the builder is a failure, not a feature.

How it works

Four stages to an operating company.

01

Assess

Interviews with the family's leadership and the managers of its operating companies; a written view of the problems worth solving.

02

Validate

A working prototype in front of the customers who have the problem; a written recommendation.

03

Build

An enterprise-standard product in the group's own cloud; IP transferred as produced.

04

Operate and transfer

The venture run to first traction, its team recruited, and an operating company handed to the family.

How we work in detail

Your side

What we ask of the family.

An executive sponsor for a few hours a week. Access to the managers who run the operating companies during assessment. A product owner from your side once a build begins.

FAQ

Questions from family offices.

Will the venture carry the family name?

That is your decision. We build it either way, and the brand is yours.

Can family members work inside the venture?

Yes. A product owner from your side is required, and the permanent team is recruited with you.

Can you co-invest?

Case by case, only at your invitation, and agreed separately. Services are equity-free by default.

What if we want to stop after assessment?

You keep the assessment. There is no obligation beyond the stage that has been scoped and paid for.
