CRITICAL MISSION STUDIO
We have created the un-venture studio...
We are re-writing the rules of business creation, de-risking new ventures and taming the complexity of technology to move further, faster with a radically new venture development and open innovation model.
What We Do?
Navigate
We partner with corporates, incumbents and entrepreneurs to explore new opportunities discovering unmet needs, validating concepts and designing new business models.
Invest
We co-create and fund B2B technology companies and teams leveraging our venture studio providing hands-on development and access to open-source innovations and IP.
Scale
We provide extensive operational support and actively collaborate with portfolio teams leveraging open innovation ecosystems to accelerate and scale ventures from ideas to exits.
Why Now?
Modernizing The Physical World
With Digital Innovations
Our planet and economies are dependent on ”mission critical” systems and scarce resources yet, legacy systems cannot support the performance required to solve big societal and business challenges
Open Innovation Is Driving Disruptive Business Models
Open-source software is shifting the speed, scale, and economics of innovation and forcing companies to re-evaluate how they develop systems.
Catalytic Technologies Are Enabling Collaboration At Scale
Multiple “combinatorial” technologies are reinforcing & accelerating one another creating a new generation of smart adaptive and autonomous systems.
