Strategic redesign of a corporate late-stage accelerator
In 2018 we supported the strategy process of an Austrian corporate late-stage accelerator. We redefined how it works closely with and supports startups, achieving the targets set by management. The programme and collaboration with startups have been reimagined.
Supporting the spin-off programme for AIT scientists
We have been working with the Austrian Institute of Technology since 2020. Supporting a select team of scientists who have taken the leap from innovation to transfer, we help market their transition into a spin-off. We provide training, assessments and coaching to help clients achieve the next stage in their startup or get their business off the ground.
