Who we work with
A spinout founder, a fund and an industrial innovator can be looking at the same technology and worrying about completely different things. One needs to prove it works and get it funded. One needs to know the numbers hold up before backing it. One needs to know it will pay back on the factory floor. We speak all three, and we start from what matters to you.
01
Technology Developers & Spinouts
Deep-tech, cleantech and process innovators who need a techno-economic and commercial case to raise capital, win grants, or move from pilot to market.
The pressure: You carry the technical and commercial risk long before revenue arrives. Investors and grant funders want proof the technology works and the numbers stack up, and a story they can back. Without an independent techno-economic case, promising technology stalls at the funding stage, and optimistic in-house numbers get picked apart in diligence.
02
Universities, TTOs & Research Consortia
Academic groups and consortia that need a credible non-academic partner to lead techno-economic assessment, route to market and exploitation in funded projects.
The pressure: Funded projects need the exploitation, route-to-market and techno-economic work done properly, by a partner funders recognise, or the impact case is weak and the bid scores badly. Turning research outputs into a commercial story that funders and industry believe is exactly where consortia struggle, and it is what we do.
03
Investors, Accelerators & Funders
Investors and funders who need independent technical and commercial due diligence before backing a new energy or process technology.
The pressure: You commit capital against assumptions the founder is naturally inclined to present at their best: technology performance, cost curves, market size, route to market. Without independent technical and commercial scrutiny, weak assumptions stay hidden until they show up in the portfolio.
04
Industrial & Energy Innovators
Industrial and energy companies bringing new process, efficiency or generation technology to market and weighing the investment case, often without a dedicated in-house energy or process team.
The pressure: New process, efficiency or generation technology arrives with vendor numbers and no independent check, while rising costs and tightening obligations raise the cost of getting it wrong. For a mid-sized business with no in-house modelling, one costly wrong call has real consequences on the floor.
Whether you are building it, funding it or backing it, the question is the same: do the technology and the numbers hold up?
Book a call. We will show you where the real exposure sits, what your options are, and what the numbers say. Independent, senior-led, no obligation.
