Focused study
Investigate an application, technical challenge or commercial question with a specific deliverable.
VENTURE BUILDING
A new business
must be viable.
We develop opportunities with technology owners, business partners and development customers. The customer problem comes first. Establishing a company may be a later decision.
AXON’S SECOND ENGINE
From potential to
a tested opportunity.
Technology is a starting point. A business needs a specific application, customers willing to pay, clear rights, realistic economics and a team able to deliver.
What we investigate together
- Which problem needs solving, and for whom?
- What has the technology demonstrated?
- Which rights does the application require?
- Which next test could change the decision?
- What resources and capital does the next step need?
MORE THAN ONE ROUTE TO VALUE
Choose the structure based on the evidence.
Joint development
A partner programme with agreed interfaces, economics, data, rights and acceptance criteria.
Licence or customer agreement
An agreement can put technology to use without establishing a new company.
Selective company formation
A company becomes relevant when rights, customers, economics, the team and capital can support it.
TECHNOLOGY MEETS COMMERCIAL EXECUTION
APG × AXON
A partnership connecting technological potential with specific applications, development customers and commercial programmes.
APG contributes the technology and IP-related foundation. Axon works on the business, execution, capital readiness and governance.
Explore the partnershipOpportunities have different levels of maturity. Technical validation and customer agreements are assessed for each opportunity.DECISION GATES
Proceed. Adapt. Or stop.
Venture building requires weak assumptions to be rejected early. We therefore define the next test and criteria for continuing before the next investment. Collaboration and ownership models are agreed for each programme.
Does every opportunity need to become a company?
No. A study, development programme, licence or customer delivery may be the right outcome. Company formation requires a separate decision.
Is this only for investors?
No. Development customers, technology owners and business partners are central. A specific customer assignment can create value without forming a company.
Who owns the technology and results?
Rights to existing technology, new results and applications must be clarified in the specific agreement. They cannot be inferred from a general partnership description.
