Innovators & Enterprises
Maximize resources - Push audacious ideas
Innovators—whether in startups or large enterprises—have no shortage of bold ideas. But the tools to turn them into scalable, sustainable models? Those are harder to find.
Tri-Sector Innovation (TSI) is smart business model innovation. It helps you design ventures that are financially strong, resource-smart, and built to thrive by tapping into resources hiding in plain sight and aligning self-interests across sectors to get others invested on your success.
Whether you’re launching something new or evolving something established, TSI gives you an edge that conventional approaches miss.
Better models. Better business. Better returns. Better world.
How TSI Helps You Build Smarter and Thrive
TSI helps innovators go beyond the usual tools—giving you a new way to innovate and structure ventures that scale faster, burn less, and deliver lasting impact.
TSI-built models:
Unlock and build on overlooked existing resources from across sectors that competitors overlook - stretching your runway and hitting the market faster
Align diverse incentives to reduce friction and open doors that money alone can’t
Burn capital more efficiently by leveraging existing resources across sectors—before investing to recreate them
Uncover non-obvious growth paths by tapping into underused or hidden assets
Embed resilience and societal impact into your operating model as strategic advantage —without sacrificing speed or scale
TSI is your unfair advantage—it’s a mindset, a design approach, and a practical set of tools to help you see what others don't - and build what they can't.
How TSI Unlocks New Value
TSI starts with a different lens and leads to a different kind of venture.
TSI helps you:
Map existing public, private, and social sector resources that others overlook
Spot opportunities for aligned self-interest—so others are naturally invested in your success
Design scalable, sustainable models from day one
Avoid duplication, reduce friction, and expand your reach
Build companies that thrive—and contribute to a thriving society
