Strategy & Growth

You’re a tech builder with a new solution that will revolutionize the industry. Or you’re an investor who'd like to see a portfolio company thrive. Now what?

Overview

You need a specialized partner who'll help you navigate the path to market in the heavily regulated aviation, transportation, and security sectors. With years of diverse experience, and a robust network in the US and Europe, we provide sharp business acumen and unequalled understanding of a complex, dynamic, and fast-growing industry.

1

Market Engagement & Positioning

We help tech innovators understand the needs of future customers and partners to tweak your roadmap and create a call-to-action message that resonates. We'll ensure that you’re delivering the message to the right stakeholders, at the right time. We’ve earned a reputation for contributing great value and quick execution. Fortunately, the AVSEC/passenger facilitation underground is full of others like us. We know who they are, and exactly who you need to engage.

2

Product Testing & Evaluation Support

Certifying a product takes time and meticulous attention to detail. We handle the administrivia of T&E, engaging with local stakeholders to maximize efficiency and your chances of success.  In the US, this includes collaborating closely with TSA and DHS S&T. In Europe, we work with key European Member State labs and the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) to support clients as they work through the Common Evaluation Process (CEP). With our innate understanding of both processes, we'll advise you how to stage your engagement, and how progress through one T&E channel can be used to expedite the other.

On-the-Ground Representation

As a small tech operation, it’s tough to manage a team locally and conquer the market abroad at the same time. It's the "everything, everywhere, all at once" dilemma. We’ll gather relevant market insights and represent you in strategic meetings, ensuring you’re making fast and meaningful progress without having to spend valuable time away from your product team. We'll also ensure that the time you do spend in-market is packed with valuable discussions that accelerate your success.

Trial Development & Oversight

We thrive on bringing new tech to market for the benefit of the community. We’re strategic partners, working with you to help you understand and appreciate the AVSEC and passenger facilitation sectors and their inherent decision-making processes. As such, we’ll help identify lighthouse trial opportunities for you, and provide support on trial plans, metrics, and oversight with partners and possible longer-term customers, who we know will give you impactful feedback.
