Building An AI Startup
Client Context And Challenges
A revolutionary precision agriculture model, leveraging insect intelligence, Big Data, and ML, was developed by a BigTech innovator to provide actionable insights into the natural world.
The parent company sought to spin out the technology into a new subsidiary while retaining control over its ongoing development, licensing it to a newly established startup for commercialization.
A prominent venture capital (VC) firm was keen to invest and provide support, but this was a first-of-its-kind collaboration for both parties.
Our Approach
Created a compelling pitch deck for the new startup, addressing key elements to attract investor confidence.
Developed an initial commercialization plan to position the technology for market entry and growth.
Structured the deal between BigTech, the VC, and the newly established startup, aligning interests on licensing, funding, and governance.
Impact We Achieved
Facilitated the successful formation of the startup, enabling a first-of-its-kind collaboration between BigTech and the VC firm.
Secured ~€10M in blended funding and resources, laying a strong foundation for commercialization and scale.
