We build new businesses
    in the space between known and next.

    We embed with corporations to build ventures in the areas your industry pretends don't exist. (They do. We've been there.)

    See how a venture builder reads your industry.

    Name your industry. We'll surface the contrarian belief holding it back, and the venture logic hiding inside it. It's the first move of a vetting sprint - without the room, your data, or the ten weeks.

    Or take one of ours:

    You already have the assets. What's missing is conviction.

    47sprints

    Vetting sprints run across Fortune 500 partners - each one a build/don't-build verdict backed by evidence.

    Sectors where we've embedded and operated alongside corporate teams at startup speed.

    The best ventures are built in the in-between - the space between what you are and what the market is asking you to become.

    "Most corporations already possess the assets, the distribution, and the institutional knowledge to build the ventures that will disrupt them. They just lack the conviction to stop looking at the map."

    - The Limineer founding thesis

    We've seen what happens when organisations treat venture building as an internal programme. The ideas survive the workshops. The ventures don't. We do it differently: embedded, accountable, and pointed at outcomes - not outputs.

    What if the real risk isn't building?

    The Threshold

    Where conviction becomes company

    Large organisations aren't short on ideas. They're short on a pathway from conviction to company - one that doesn't require a committee, a 12-month roadmap, and a PowerPoint signed off at three levels.

    The ventures that define the next decade won't come from the core. They'll come from the threshold - the edge of your business that nobody currently owns a budget line for.

    We've noticed the organisations that move fastest are rarely the ones with the biggest innovation budgets. They're the ones with the highest tolerance for "not yet."

    We publish the signal, not just the belief.

    One researched venture opportunity in the energy transition, every two weeks — sourced data, not a roundup.

    Crossing the
    threshold.

    Three phases, rarely in that order. Each ends in a build/don't-build call.

    01 / DISCOVERY

    Find the conviction

    4–12 weeks

    A vetting sprint to identify where the real opportunity lives - not the loudest idea, the most defensible one.

    02 / EMBED

    Cross the threshold

    8–16 weeks

    Embedded operators inside your structure, working at startup speed with corporate resources.

    03 / VELOCITY

    Build what's real

    Designed to exit

    A venture with its own team, model, and momentum. Built to stand alone.

    From the people we've built with.

    Limineer understood the brief before we'd finished writing it. Within weeks we had something credible in front of leadership - and momentum we hadn't had in years.

    "Hosts dinners where asking 'what do you do?' is forbidden. The conversations are better for it."

    You don't need certainty to start.
    You need one good conviction and someone willing to go there with you.
