For Founders
The moment the organisation cannot keep pace with what the technology is ready for.
There is a specific moment that science-led companies reach. The technology is proven. The funding is there. The partnerships are forming. And the organisation cannot keep pace with any of it. Everyone on the team is already at capacity managing what exists. The founder who should be thinking about the next stage is caught inside the current one. The commercial model lives in their head because there has never been time to build the architecture that would allow it to live anywhere else. The governance framework that the first world-class partner is now asking for was never needed until this moment. The organisation was designed for the fundraise and was never redesigned for the stage that followed it.
What we do
We come on site. We look at the whole picture — the commercial architecture, the governance frameworks, the organisational design, the IP structure, the partnerships, the systems. We identify the most acute gaps and the sequence that closes them. We produce a written plan. And where the fit is right, we stay and build it.
01Engagement
The Diagnostic
Two days inside the company. One day of synthesis. A written plan delivered within five working days. The most acute gap identified. The build order made explicit. The architecture that needs to exist, described in enough detail that the team can act on it immediately.
02Engagement
The Retainer
One dedicated day per week. Building the specific architecture the Diagnostic identified as most urgent. Delivered in 90-day cycles with written deliverables at each stage. The accountability layer that keeps the build moving when the day-to-day pulls the team back into what already exists.
Available for a small number of companies at a time. London-based and across Europe.
