The Golden Triangle

When Technology, Building & Capital converge — ventures scale.

Historically these three forces operate in isolation. Technology lives inside R&D. Building expertise lives in venture builders. Capital lives in funds.

We don't advise across the triangle. We operate all three nodes — under one roof, with shared economics.

Two Models, One Platform

We build ventures. Where they end up depends on the strategic intent.

Model One

Corporate Venture Building

For: corporates with strategic intent for a new business — when the product still needs to be built. We build the entire company from the ground up as an independent entity.

Start
Strategic intent from the corporate
Build
Product, team, market — from the ground up
Capital
Convertible loan · off-balance-sheet · governed, not run
Your M&A target of the future — acquired at EBITDA multiples, not venture premiums.
Model Two

Technology Transfer

For: corporates with stranded R&D — and research institutions whose IP needs a venture, not a license. We structure the carve-out and build the company around it.

Start
Existing technology · IP · technical founders
Build
A venture around the tech that already exists
Capital
External VCs lead · Talos may follow when the thesis fits
An independent, venture-backed company. Your IP, finally a business.
