01

Strategic Business Development

Not an outside advisor. A dedicated operating partner focused on corporate customers, market validation and the path from first conversation to commercial agreement.

  • Customer discovery & warm introductions
  • Corporate customers & validation partners
  • PoC → JDA → commercial agreements
  • U.S. positioning & first customers
02

Fundraising Support

A disciplined capital process built around the right investors, a credible narrative and informed follow-through — with M&A advisory available through our Ascento Capital partnership.

  • CVC & VC targeting
  • Investment narrative & pitch refinement
  • Fundraising process management
  • M&A advisory via Ascento Capital
We do not hand over a strategy deck. We help turn the strategy into customers, partnerships and capital.
