We consult on the following:

Feasibility studies

"Will this idea fly?" is a perennial question asked by enterpreneurs and potential investors. Of course, there are so many factors involved that nobody can give a 100% correct answer every time. Even if the verifiable aspects stack up, the best answer is often derived by an experienced gut instinct.

Technology evaluation

If the technology behind a product is not right, a business will most probably not succeed. Potential investors often do not have the technical knowledge to evaluate the technical aspects of the proposition.

Rapid prototyping

Very often it is much better to prototype an idea rather than theoreticising about it.

Business modelling

Business model is the framework for creating value and consists of a broad range for informal and formal descriptions to represent various aspects of the business. Probably the most important aspect of any business model is identfying how the business is going to make money, which involves identifying the target customers, choosing a distribution channel and pricing the product competitively.

Access to angel investors and venture capital

For a business to succeed, it has to be properly financed. Often there will be several rounds of financing required and we can introduce appropriate people and organisations into the process.

Advisory and mentoring

The ability to sound off an idea, a proposal or a plan interactively is very valuable to any business, but especially valuable to startups.

IT security

IT security is often overlooked in the haste of starting and running a business. Unfortunately, this is no more an option in the world infested with malware and hackers. Sound security practice enables the business to avoid IT problems.
