Market Landscaping

We collaborate with investors, startups, tech companies, and industry experts across the globe to develop a deep understanding of current and future market challenges in the energy, agriculture, and water sectors.

Thesis Development

We make a deliberate choice to focus on critical technology gaps in areas with the highest potential for growth and innovation. We develop an informed perspective on how these spaces will evolve over time and articulate a clear view on how investments will achieve both financial returns and impact objectives.

Solution Landscaping

We identify and prioritize innovative technologies and business models that have the potential to fundamentally alter existing markets or create entirely new ones. We leverage design thinking and techno-economic analysis to validate problem-solution fit and ensure groundbreaking new ventures will gain traction in emerging and frontier markets.
