B.02.03, Practice / Consulting
We sit in rooms
others don’t know exist.
Operating advisory between technology and market entry.
Brought in for decisions that don’t get a press release, capital partnerships, joint ventures, family-office structures. Short engagements: a quarter, a launch, a board cycle. Senior people in the room. Confidential by default.
Advisory grounded in delivered work.
Most consulting firms sell the deck. We sell the operator. Each engagement is held by people who have run the same kind of build, the same kind of launch, the same kind of capital cycle, and can speak to it without a slide.
The practice exists because Technology and Strategic Market Entry kept needing a third room, the one where the deal gets structured, the family-office model gets written, the JV gets signed, and the moves nobody wants on a press release get made quietly and well.
We’re not a retained advisory shop. We’re a private team you bring in for a defined moment, and we leave when it closes.
Five concentrations.
Each one is here because we’ve been the operator inside it, not the consultant outside it. Engagements are short, senior, and held to a fixed scope.
-
F.02.01
JV & partnership structuring
The architecture of a joint venture, equity splits, governance, operating control, exit. Held by people who have sat on both sides of the cap table and know which clauses get used and which sit dormant for a decade until they detonate.
-
F.02.02
Family-office operating models
Governance, portfolio models, and the playbooks that decide whether a family office runs as an investment vehicle or a venture studio. We write the manual the next generation will operate against.
-
F.02.03
Capital partnerships
Introductions and term work for the capital partnership that doesn’t announce itself, private credit, strategic equity, family-office co-investment. Sized to a single transaction, not a standing retainer.
-
F.02.04
Portfolio operating advisory
Brought in by a holding company or family office to operate alongside a portfolio CEO for a defined window, a quarter, a launch, a board cycle. We sit in the room when the move is made, and step out when it’s closed.
-
F.02.05
Applied AI advisory
When a Technology engagement isn’t the right shape but a senior read on AI is, build vs buy, agent surfaces, evaluation, deployment risk. The same team that ships our applied AI work, hired for the read alone.
Applied AI advisory.
One of several consulting concentrations, not the headline. When a senior read on AI is the right shape of engagement (build vs buy, agent surfaces, evaluation, deployment risk), this is where it sits.
The chat widget at the bottom-right of this page is Terence, a small, real deployment of the same agent and retrieval pattern we ship inside client work. He answers questions about the practice and routes private requests into intake. Honest scope: he is a working artifact of this concentration, not the concentration itself.
