What we do
Most innovation engagements stall at research. We are built to move from scouting to structured pilots to sustained programs — staying with you across the full arc.
01
Rigorous identification and curation of startups aligned to your strategic priorities. We map the ecosystem across sectors, filter for commercial and technical fit, and deliver a shortlist ready for evaluation — not a raw list.
02
Structuring and running startup engagement programs that convert scouting into real outcomes — pilots, POCs, co-development agreements, and ecosystem partnerships that your internal teams can own.
03
Ongoing strategic counsel on building and sustaining an innovation function — covering mandate design, stakeholder alignment, ecosystem partnership strategy, and intrapreneurship programs as your ambition expands.
Engagement model
Innovation needs continuity. Most advisory firms deliver a report and leave. We structure engagements as annual retainers — staying invested in your outcomes across the full cycle of scouting, evaluation, and program delivery.
The typical path: a scoped pilot engagement to demonstrate value, converting to an annual retainer once the fit is clear. No lock-in before trust is earned.
Phase 01
Scoped pilot
A time-bound engagement to map your innovation agenda and deliver an initial startup shortlist. Low commitment, fast signal.
Phase 02
Annual retainer
Ongoing scouting cadence, program support, and strategic counsel. Structured as a fixed monthly or annual fee.
Phase 03
Program expansion
As ambition grows, we layer in innovation challenges, intrapreneurship programs, and ecosystem partnerships.
Why Reynold's
We hold genuine relationships with founders, investors, and accelerators — on both sides of the table. That trust is the product.
We will tell you which startups are not worth your time, which programs will not work, and which innovation ambitions need recalibrating first.
We move with startup agility — short cycles, fast shortlists, rapid pilots. But every recommendation carries enterprise-grade rigor.
The retainer model is not just a commercial structure. It reflects a genuine commitment to your outcomes across multi-year innovation cycles.
Segment 01 — GCCs
MNC Global Capability Centers
Head of Innovation, GCC Head, or VP Strategy at an MNC captive in India. Mandate flows from global HQ — you need ecosystem ROI and a credible India innovation story.
Segment 02 — Enterprises
Large Indian Enterprises
CSO, Head of Corporate Ventures, or Innovation Lead at a large Indian conglomerate. Motivated by competitive disruption — and the need to access emerging tech without building in-house R&D.
