How does 1st Mile work and what do we offer?

1st Mile is specialised in creating business on technology. We believe there is a significant gap between the opportunies promised by new knowledge, research and ideas and the business impact seen. In other words, we bring new solutions to the market by offering our assistance to both the academic society and the business society.

For research funders we offer:

  • Screening of research and development projects for business potentials
  • Preparation of projects for investor presentations
  • Preparation of investor presentations and training of key persons on the team to meet investors (venture capitalists, business angels, and companies)
  • Selection of suitable investors for the given technology.

For researchers we offer:

  • Consultancy in research and development projects on business plans, commercial potentials, and market research
  • Training in business strategy, customer relations, elevator pitch presentation, business system layout, etc.

For investors we offer:

  • Investment possibilities and deal flow
  • Industry analyses on energy and environmental sectors
  • Evaluation of investment possibilities, due diligence, and investment process
  • Interim management of start-ups
  • Board representation in start-ups

For start-ups we offer:

  • Business plans, market and industry analyses, and commercial strategies
  • Contract negotiations
  • Identification of potential investors
  • Interim management
  • Board representation

For corporations we offer:

  • Evaluation of technologies and projects for commercial options
  • Value creation from technologies and possibilities outside core strategy (creation of spin-outs)
  • Interim management of spin-outs
  • Evaluation of commercial potentials and financing options, including venture capital
  • Project portfolio management
  • Optimization of the value of stage gate processes
