We bring our tech founder and venture capital experience together to turn great ideas into successful products.

,What we do

Our previous adventures produced a venture-backed deep tech startup and exit, worldwide patents, academic publications and a keen affinity for business and technology. Here's how we can help you.

Venture building

With a background in corporate innovation and startups, our team has helped corporations create new products, enter new markets and spin out new ventures. We apply lean thinking principles to take your ideas through build-measure-learn loops aimed at minimising risks and maximising speed to market.

Fractional CTO

We led the design and production of groundbreaking hardware and software, securing utility patents granted in the US, Europe and Asia. We'll help you build your own roadmap, focused on hitting commercial targets while protecting your IP and avoiding technical debt. The best part? Our two CTOs are involved on all projects for double the brain power.

Software development

Got a unbuildable idea? With experience designing software for aerospace, our computer science PhD-led team thrives on difficult challenges. The code we craft is modular, extensible and well documented to ensure a seamless handoff to you. Plus, we’ve got your back with continuous support until your team is ready to take over.

Founder residence

We've been in the trenches, and we now help founders with deep industry knowledge validate their ideas and bring them to life via a step-by-step process aimed at failing bad ideas quickly and helping good ideas find product-market fit. What happens to the best ideas? We launch them with you and take on the role of your technical co-founder.

Raphaël Mannadiar
PhD, Computer Science, McGill University
Managing Partner

Raph started programming at the age of 12. He’s an ex-founder, highly cited researcher and worldwide patent holder in soft- and hardware. He's every bit as nerdy as that entails, but he's passionate about teaching and simplifying complex abstractions.

Rami built, raised venture funding and sold his deep-tech startup together with Raph. He’s an ex-CTO, 2x patent author and fluent in the same number of programming languages and spoken languages. He's the outgoing one and most likely who you'll be running into at networking events.
