Built for partners who move fast

For corporates

  • Pilot ideas with student teams who already understand your market context
  • Structured intake — no open-ended consulting requests
  • Read-only visibility on assigned cases; your IP boundaries stay clear
  • Demo-ready outputs you can share internally after each term

For international universities

  • Match student teams to cases from your campus or alumni network
  • One workflow for intake, milestones, and deliverables — not another portal
  • Partner Week showcase slot for teams you co-supervise
  • Evidence pack for internationalisation reporting

One workspace from idea to demo

Programme map

Projects, partners, and markets in a single filterable view.

Structured intake

Every venture starts with the same profile — student, corporate, or partner-sourced.

Team workspace

Tasks, files, milestones, and feedback in one place for each cohort team.

Expert matching

Mentors matched by country, sector, and gap — not a generic office-hours queue.
