Turning Corporations
Into Startups
"SHARK TANK"
We are the anti-consultants
You hired smart people
Our experiences unleash their impact
As a creative growth lab, we train corporate leaders in entrepreneurial competitiveness who have an initiative they want to execute and grow at startup speed using enterprise resources. These market experiences allow your best and brightest to attack challenges by operating outside the constraints and bureaucracy that frustrates growth.
Red Teams are tasked to identify areas in their industry and business where they can grow and innovate before a disruptor beats them to the punch. They immediately validate their thinking by pitching actual decision-makers ("Shark Tank") in their target market. This direct exchange of ideas, creativity, and precision drives breakout growth.
”Antifragility is beyond resilience or robustness.

The resilient resists shocks and stays the same; the antifragile gets better.

We like conversations and avoid presentations. Our goal is to help you think through a challenge you need to address. Book a 30-minute brainstorming session today. We enjoy these conversations, even if they remain just that. Smart people don't need to be sold. Either a project will emerge that makes sense, or both parties walk away having learned something from the other.
