Projects
HARNESSING DISRUPTION
We have a strong track record delivering new and disruptive products and ventures in both cleantech & decarbonisation and also banking & commerce.
In decarbonisation we’ve designed and scaled ventures in EV, smart home, and low-carbon generation. Our clients have included government agencies, energy retailers, system operators and tech firms.
In banking & commerce we focus on next-generation payments, retail banking and insurance. Our clients have included all of the major global schemes and processors, domestic players, tier 1&2 banks and fintechs.

We helped a major mobile operator identify and validate game-changing business models – a generational leap beyond bundles and SIM-only to stay relevant in face of challengers.
Making insurance more relevant
We helped a leading UK insurer understand the future of their industry, defining a NorthStar vision to differentiate them in the market, along with a manifesto for growth and a roadmap for delivery.
