Our Net Positive Mission.

Our mission is simple. To accelerate the transformation towards a net positive world. We do this by partnering with companies to build high value ventures that will improve our business models, society, and planet.

We help companies respond to direct pressures and systemic challenges. We believe that all companies have a responsibility to look inward and adapt business models. Companies can also look to influence their industries with the launch of new ventures.

Circular Plays

B2C and B2B business models that can accelerate and enable "circularity" across your ecosystem.

We build circular businesses across all industries. Our focus is on platform business models that can optimise supply chains, create secondary markets, sharing economies, or provide the right data platforms to enable new transactions.

Circular businesses optimise ecosystems through digitising and connecting relevant stakeholders. They include platforms and SaaS tools and are already proving their worth. Our experience in platform business models and circular economy drives us in this direction. 

We work with companies regardless of industry. We believe that every industry and ecosystem has a number of opportunities to build great ventures

We have developed several industry focused programmes as a result of decades of experience in these areas, access to a strong network of experts and investors, and a strong need from the market to innovate
