Frequently Asked Questions

  • Innovators of all stripes: individuals, startups, and organizations with ideas that could make a real difference. You don’t need to be “ready”—we meet you wherever you are between insight and impact.

  • Mostly expertise. Our sweet spot is bringing the know-how and systems that make ideas real. Sometimes we invest money too, but our bigger value is building.

  • Different every time. Sometimes we’re coding alongside your team, sometimes we’re drawing up the commercialization plan, sometimes we’re just asking the right question at the right time. The only constant is that we’re hands-on.

  • Usually, yes—because we’re investing sweat, brains, and time. But the terms (equity, revenue share, service-based) depend on the partnership. The key is: we define it together and set a clear exit path from day one.

  • Anywhere from a sprint to a marathon. A few weeks to solve a specific problem, or months+ if we’re building from the ground up.

  • The ones that make life better—whether through tech, systems, services, or products. If it can generate positive impact and sustainable value, we’re interested.

  • Nope. If you have a team, great—we’ll complement it. If not, we’ll help you build one.

  • If it aligns with our values, has meaningful impact potential, and could benefit from expert resources—you’re in the zone.

  • We don’t run cohorts or bootcamps. We partner directly, applying a proven innovation process, tailored to your venture. Think less “program,” more “co-builders.”

  • We’re industry-agnostic. Our expertise is innovation itself—commercialization, behavioral design, systems-building. We’ve applied it everywhere from health to climate tech to social systems.

  • Social net gain is at the core, but commercial viability is critical too. The strongest impact ventures stand on strong financial legs.

  • With trust—and paperwork. We’re happy to sign NDAs and build agreements that safeguard your innovation.

  • Let’s talk. Share your idea, where it’s at, and what support you need. From there, we’ll see if we’re the right partner and map out a collaboration plan.

  • We build with an eventual handoff in mind. That might mean your internal team takes over, a new company spins out, or external investors step in. We agree on the path together, from the start.

  • Great. We often work with funded ventures that need execution, scaling, or commercialization help. We complement the resources you already have.
