We help SMEs and corporates design, build, and scale AI and deep tech strategies that drive real competitive advantage.
We bridge the gap between strategy and execution — so you don't just plan for the future, you build it.
For SMEs & Corporates
End-to-end AI transformation — from identifying high-impact opportunities to deploying production-grade solutions that deliver measurable results.
For Visionary Organisations
Navigate the deep tech landscape with confidence. We help you identify, invest in, and execute breakthrough technology strategies.
We don't just advise — we build. Our team combines strategic consulting with hands-on technical execution to deliver real outcomes.
From fintech to manufacturing, healthcare to logistics — we bring cross-sector insights that unlock unconventional advantages.
Whether you're a 20-person startup or a multinational, we calibrate our approach to your scale, budget, and ambition.
Every engagement is tied to clear KPIs. We track, measure, and optimise — because innovation without impact is just experimentation.

With experience across multiple geographies and markets, we bring a truly global lens to local challenges.
Our clients don't just plan for the future — they build it with confidence.
Series A Materials Science Startup
A Series A company developing high-temperature aluminum alloys for metal additive manufacturing (AM) had demonstrated technical feasibility with their AI-driven materials platform — but needed structured market and application prioritisation to chart a path to commercialisation.
Using a performance-overlap framework (high temperature stability, high strength, AM compatibility), we evaluated alloy innovation pathways — including highly filled intermetallics and precipitation-strengthened systems — and mapped them against near-, mid-, and long-term market opportunities. Through expert interviews and value-chain analysis, we identified that while technical innovation potential is strong, the core commercialisation risk lies in unclear customer pain points — particularly around whether aluminum alloys can meaningfully displace incumbent materials such as Ti-6Al-4V in aerospace, defense, or automotive applications.
We translated these insights into a phased development roadmap tied to validation milestones. The roadmap emphasised early voice-of-customer interviews, IP strategy, MVP alloy demonstrations, regulatory qualification pathways, and staged go-to-market options (licensing to powder producers, partnerships with equipment OEMs, or vertically integrated part production). Near-term opportunities were identified in low-volume production and supply chain de-risking use cases, with longer-term upside in regulated industries requiring scale-up and certification. This structured sequencing aligned R&D investment with commercial signal validation and reduced platform drift during scale-up.
I had the pleasure of working with Xiao Zhong on a comprehensive Opportunity Assessment for Clench Relief, a startup focused on providing innovative solutions for TMJ/TMD sufferers. Xiao brought exceptional expertise and analytical skills to the project, helping us evaluate market size and opportunities and refine our strategic direction.
Xiao's ability to map stakeholders, perform competitive analysis, and estimate market size was invaluable in shaping our business strategy. He consistently approached the work with professionalism, delivering insights that were both actionable and aligned with our goals. Beyond his technical skills, Xiao's collaborative nature and clear communication made him an indispensable part of the team.
I wholeheartedly recommend Xiao to any organization seeking a skilled business consultant who can drive strategic outcomes.
