Why We Exist

Complex Business Needs

Your Business is Complex

Startups are often simultaneously discovering, building and selling their product. This requires proactive foresight and malleable tools to effectively align spend with critical path, sequence projects / milestones to minimize cash burn, and be positioned to access equity and non dilutive capital.

Analysis

Decision Making can be Optimized

Tools such as techno-economic, business structure, and corporate financial modelling can ensure the right decisions are made for the business for both the short term (where do we allocate capital and resources) and the long term (how do we monetize the technology or solution).

Investor Needs

Investor Needs are Growing

Cleantech companies are becoming more prolific and investors are becoming increasingly discerning. Successful companies will need more compelling and clearly articulated business plans with disciplined resource allocation to the most important problems and opportunities.
