Case studies

Research that changed a decision

A look at how we approach real problems — from a founder's fundraise to an investor's diligence. These are illustrative sample engagements that reflect our methodology and typical outcomes.

Deep-tech startup · Fundraise
4

white-space segments identified

Challenge

A seed-stage battery-tech founder needed a credible, investor-ready view of the market and competition before a Series A raise.

Approach

We mapped the global landscape from patents and corporate R&D, benchmarked 30+ players, and sized the addressable market.

Outcome

Four defensible white-space segments surfaced, reshaping the pitch. The deck's market section became its strongest slide.

Angel investor · Diligence
1 week

to an independent go/no-go

Challenge

An investor evaluating an AI-infrastructure startup wanted an independent read on whether the technology and market claims held up.

Approach

We validated the tech against the state of the art, stress-tested market-size assumptions, and profiled every serious competitor.

Outcome

A concise diligence brief flagged two overstated claims and one real moat — enabling a confident, evidence-based decision.

Foreign SME · India entry
30%

lower entry cost via right partner

Challenge

A European hardware company wanted to enter India but was unsure on regulation, competition, and distribution routes.

Approach

We delivered a market-entry report covering compliance, pricing benchmarks, partner options, and a phased go-to-market plan.

Outcome

A recommended distribution-partner model cut projected entry cost by roughly a third versus a direct-setup route.

These are illustrative sample engagements created to demonstrate our process and the kinds of outcomes clients can expect. We publish named client case studies only with permission.
