Rethinking Innovation Investment

Mind the Gap - How Conventional VCs and Traditional Consultants Fail Strategic Innovation Investors

Problem 1:

Conventional VC is misaligned with the needs of organizations seeking both financial returns and strategic value from innovation investments.

For more than 25 years, VC has pursued a singular objective: maximizing financial returns. While fit for purpose, this model falls short for a growing class of strategic organizations seeking not just profit, but access, insight, impact and long-term advantage from innovation - as well as for startups that need more than just capital to succeed.

Problem 2:

Traditional consultants aren’t investment practitioners - they offer insight without investment, and strategy without execution.

Lacking the tools, incentives, and mandate to make innovation investments, they struggle to translate strategy into action. As a result, plans remain theoretical, capital sits on the sidelines, and high-potential opportunities go unrealized.

This disconnect exposes a critical gap in the market - where neither conventional VC nor traditional consulting models fully serve the dual mandate of strategic investors.
