Engagements
Most of our work starts in one of the situations below. Each one leads to a defined engagement with a clear scope, timeline and result.
Use cases
Recognise your own? Mention it when you get in touch, and we start from there.

Market and regulatory assessment, entity and distribution options, partner search and a launch plan.
A go or no-go decision with costs, and on go, a partner and a structure in place.
Strong demand abroad, held back by language, regulation and certification, logistics and missing buyer contacts.
Compliance check for the Swiss and EU markets, importer and distribution structure, buyer introductions.
A compliant route to market and first conversations with buyers.
A promising venture, but a financial model that does not hold up in due diligence and no access to the right investors.
Financial model and use of funds, deck and data room review, investor long list and introductions.
