Let Us Help Grow Your Marketplace.
We advise on all aspects of AI capable new exchange or marketplace development. We can suggest the best market structure, help build the coalition of stakeholders you'll need, recommend market software, & introduce partners & investors.
Business Markets
Whether you're a start-up tech commodity exchange or a B2B marketplace, we've been there & we can help. We don't charge hourly fees; we take an equity stake or a performance fee.
Social Markets
We believe smart markets can be a force for social good. For non-profits we work pro-bono. During the pandemic we created TestRAMP, a marketplace for improving UK Covid PCR testing. All £2.5mn of profits went to charity.
Track Record
We 'walk the walk' - you can see some of the commercial ventures we've funded & run below and at flamingo markets.
Market Structure
We've successfully started different types of marketplace ranging from derivatives exchanges to genomic life science products. We can help you avoid common pitfalls so you can scale quickly.
Mergers & Acquisitions
We've sold our own tech & marketplace businesses, and advised others. Where there's a fit, we'll try to help.
VC & Private Equity
Where we have a connection, we can sometimes help introduce investors. If the opportunity is right, sometimes we'll invest ourselves.
Strategic Alliances
We help markeplaces reach critical mass by identifying companies who will benefit from working together - even if they don't know it yet - whether as marketplace owners or users

Unmatched Experience. Creativity & Innovation.
Our commercial work is with fast-growth medium-sized companies, disruptive scalable start-ups and industry consortia who are starting a completely new B2B marketplace or complex trading exchange. Typically, multi-principal, multi-broker.
Our expertise began with financial exchanges and brokerages; some of the world's most complex marketplaces. We've used that experience to create new marketplaces for products as diverse as UK diagnostic testing and Far East freight derivatives trading. If it's tradeable, we can use technology to make it trade better.
We've advised on, invested in, and built, both actual marketplaces & the trading software that powers them. We've sold our portfolio companies, and advised others on the same.
We break down silos and connect businesses, so they work better together.
