Our secret sauce is in putting the right puzzle pieces in place to create a targeted approach for each of our engagements. You are unique, and so you deserve a unique solution. We start with sitting down with you and your leadership team to gain a deep understanding of where you’ve been, where you are, and where you desire to go. Then we jointly develop and execute a strategy to get you there in the most efficient and effective way, deploying our expertise, resources, and networks.
We are growth-stage and region agnostic. We can support a wide range of innovators, companies and organizations, such as:
Our primary driver is to maximize positive impact. This is why we do not have standard deal terms, or a narrow set of criteria, like stage of development, by which we select our projects. Rather, we asses each opportunity based on its positive impact potential.
We have a long-term view, so becoming co-founders with entrepreneurs interested in partnering, and building the company together, is very exciting to us. But sometimes all it takes is a quick consulting or advisory role to pack a punch. We are focused on delivering value, no matter the length or the style of our engagement.
To us it's all bout delivering results. We have an extensive global network and a wide range of services, tools and resources that can be deployed where needed.
We are product type, industry, and market agnostic, but we do have a soft spot that's near and dear to our hearts: to help eliminate the need for animal experimentation and use in product development, testing, and manufacturing across all industries.
We are one of only a handful of organizations that require all solutions we represent to be cruelty-free. We believe that the best transition method to a cruelty-free future is to offer better, more efficient, affordable, and effective alternatives than those we wish to replace.
Our focus in this area is on working with innovators that are developing or adopting such new or existing alternative products, services, materials, and methodologies across all industries. If you are one of those innovators, whether you are working on solutions in verticals that have been adopting cruelty-free options for a while, like food, fashion, and personal care, or working on ground-breaking discoveries, some of which are depicted below, we are excited to hear from you.
It’s an acronym with many definitions, including New Approach Methods, New Alternative Methodologies, Novel Alternative Methodologies, and Non-Animal Methods, all essentially representing the same thing: a pathway towards the eventual replacement of animal experimentation and testing. And like its many definitions, NAMs include a myriad of exciting new cruelty-free opportunities.
Organ-on-chip, multi-organ-on-chip, body-on-chip, lab-on-chip, and other chip technologies that will lead to truly personalized precision medicine applications, not just for people, but multiple animal species, in addition to advancing cruelty-free methodologies.
Tools, methods and breakthroughs that reproduce organ architecture and function in vitro, and include human and animal based cell cultures, models, and test systems, organoids, Microphysiological systems, spheroids, 3D organotypic cultures, advanced cellular models, microfluidics, cell-based assays, and many more that enable a much more precise and targeted species-specific cruelty-free research.
3D Bioprinters and other technology that can generate cells, tissues, and organs for a wide spectrum of uses, such as growing healthier and more sustainable food, for cruelty-free research, development and testing, and ultimately to generate organs for transplantation.
Cruelty-free technologies and solutions to grow agricultural products instead of using livestock, such as: growing meats and other animal products like dairy, eggs, and gelatin for consumption; and producing animal-derived biomaterials such as collagen, leather, spider silk, and fur for clothing, accessories, furniture, cosmetics, and other uses.
Bioreactors, scaffolding, bioinks, tissue engineering and other technologies and solutions that enable and support the development and production of superior cruelty-free alternatives across multiple industries in a wide range of applications.
Artificial Intelligence, machine learning, predictive analytics, big data collection and sharing, and other computer science and in-silico solutions that not only have the potential to fundamentally transform many fields, including healthcare and life sciences, but also provides cruelty-free alternatives.
Entrepreneurs, investors, business leaders, and philanthropists interested in positive impact solutions and investments tend to also be in search of new and better business structures and models to address problems, while generating wealth for all involved, and creating positive impact on society, workers, the community, and the environment.
There are a number of existing, or freshly minted business structures around the world that enable venture philanthropy, fully sustainable charity, or for-profit / non-profit hybrid enterprises and structures. These include benefit corporations, L3Cs, community interest companies, and other forms of social enterprises, with many more on the horizon. Most of them share and are based on some or multiple guiding principles of Positive Impact Enterprise (PIE).
Guiding PIE principles were designed to unleash human creativity in experimenting with unique business models to build a more robust, fair, and inclusive global PIE economy.
We have extensive experience and expertise advising and helping high-net-worth individuals, family offices, business executives, and charitable organizations to design, set up and launch venture philanthropy vehicles.
If you are interested in exploring ways to set up a new, or convert your existing company into a form of positive impact enterprise that fits your desired purpose, we can help you with all aspects, including devising a comprehensive strategy, designing and launching your unique structure, preparation of conversion documents, and more.
Customized Approach
We don't use cookie cutters. From a short advisory role to a full-on partnership, we consider each of our engagements unique. So is our participation and compensation. Each is negotiated based on the type, length, and complexity of each engagement, and may include either, or a combination of, equity, consulting fees, commissions, or other types of compensation.
Multiplying Impact
We are committed to the PIE sharing model, including taking on select pro-bono projects. This also means that a significant percentage of any compensation we earn from your engagements will go towards accelerating the transition to a cruelty-free, environmentally friendly, and sustainable future for generations to come.
