Sheet A-03
Test the idea before you bet on it.
Growth and acceleration programmes for startups, scale-ups and established firms building something new.
01The problem
New ventures rarely die from a lack of ideas.
They die from untested assumptions, slow learning and money spent before anyone has paid. We shorten the loop between idea, evidence and decision, then build what survives.
02What's included
What you get.
A-03.1
Opportunity sprints
Four to six weeks that take an idea from hypothesis to evidence, ending in a clear go, pivot or stop.
A-03.2
Acceleration programmes
Cohort programmes for startups or internal teams: selection, curriculum, mentoring, demo days and measurement.
A-03.3
Venture design
Business model, pricing, unit economics and go-to-market for a new product or company.
A-03.4
Investment readiness
Narrative, financial model and data room, prepared for investors and grant bodies.
03How it works
The engagement, step by step.
01
Frame
The bet, its riskiest assumptions, and the evidence that would prove them wrong.
02
Test
Experiments, prototypes and conversations with real buyers, not friendly ones.
03
Decide
Go, pivot or stop, with the numbers behind the call.
04
Build
The ideas that survive go straight to our Technology team for an MVP.
04Typical outcomes
What changes.
- 01Go and stop decisions backed by evidence, not enthusiasm.
- 02Prototypes tested with real users before the expensive build.
- 03Programme metrics that funders and boards can trust.
- 04A pitch and model that survive investor questions.
05Pairs with Technology
When the plan needs building.
Innovation rarely ends with a report. These are the Technology services it most often hands to, in the same team.
T-03

Apps people keep on their home screen.
T-04
Design & Creative
Be understood quickly. Be remembered.
T-01
Web Development
Websites and platforms that do a job.
07Questions
Asked often.
Do you take equity?
Not by default; we work on fees. For selected early-stage companies we will discuss mixed arrangements case by case.
Can you run a programme for our organisation or donor?
Yes. We design and run acceleration programmes end to end, including selection, curriculum, mentoring and impact measurement.
What does a sprint cost?
Most sprints are fixed-fee, agreed before we start. Tell us about the idea and we'll propose a range.
Do you build the MVP too?
Yes. That is the point of having both divisions under one roof.
