Innovation programs that outlive the closing ceremony.
We design, run and measure accelerators, incubators, hackathons and workshops for enterprises, government bodies and sovereign programs.
Mandates with a deadline attached.
Programs usually arrive the same way: there is a mandate, a budget cycle, and a cohort that has already been selected or is about to be. What’s missing is a rigorous way to tell where each participant actually stands, and a delivery engine that moves them somewhere better before the program ends.
That’s the part we take. We can design the program from the mandate up, or take a design that already exists and deliver against it — including the assessment work that most programs leave until it’s too late to act on.
Four formats, one delivery team.
Take a cohort with traction and make it investable.
- What it’s for
- Ventures that already have customers or a product in market, and a sponsor who has to show the programme moved them.
- Who takes part
- A selected cohort, the sponsor, and our evaluators.
- You leave with
- A scored baseline for every venture, and measured movement against it.
Get an idea to its first real market test.
- What it’s for
- Founders at pre-product or pre-revenue stage, where the risk is building the wrong thing carefully.
- Who takes part
- Early ventures, usually pre-seed, with a mentor bench around them.
- You leave with
- Validated positioning, a first funnel, and a readiness score before graduation.
Put a defined problem in front of people who can build.
- What it’s for
- A specific challenge the sponsor needs solved, where the value is in tested solutions rather than ideas.
- Who takes part
- Internal teams, external builders, or both, judged on criteria set in advance.
- You leave with
- Working prototypes and a route for the winners to continue after the event.
Leave the room with a decision, not a summary.
- What it’s for
- A leadership team facing more options than it can pursue, needing to choose and commit.
- Who takes part
- Executives, plus the people who will own whatever gets chosen.
- You leave with
- A prioritised backlog with owners and dates already attached.
The same four steps, whatever the format.
Frame
The mandate, the objective, who takes part and what success will be measured against — agreed before anything is designed.
Design
The format built to fit: selection criteria, curriculum or challenge brief, and the scoring instruments that will judge it.
Run
Delivered by our own people rather than a booked speaker list, with support where a participant or team needs it.
Report
What changed, measured against what was agreed in step one, in a form a sponsor or a board can act on.
One of each, already run.
A cohort made investable
We built the assessment framework for a sovereign tourism incubation programme, diagnosed every startup in the cohort, then ran monthly growth sessions for the rest of the programme.
What procurement usually asks.
Do you work with government entities and sovereign programs?
Can programs be delivered in Arabic?
Do you design the program, or only run it?
How is a program measured?
Who actually delivers the sessions?
What does a program cost?
Tell us the mandate, the cohort and the deadline.
That's enough for us to come back with a program design and what it would take to run it.
