Who it’s for
Institutions with scale, balance sheets and legacy.
Banks & financial institutions
From passive investor to ecosystem orchestrator.
Large corporates
New revenue lines without betting the core.
Legacy incumbents
Startup speed with institutional controls.
Governments & public entities
Challenge-led programmes with measurable public value.
The problem
Why innovation stalls in big organisations.
Legacy structures
Approval chains, procurement and risk rules designed for the core business — not for experiments.
Slow innovation
Pilots that never become contracts. Labs that report activity, not outcomes.
No venture pipeline
No structured way to find, test, contract or build with startups — so the opportunity walks to a competitor.
Deliverables
Six building blocks. Take what you need.
Innovation strategy & governance
Mandate, thesis, investment and decision rights, risk appetite and a board-level dashboard.
Corporate venture building & venture clienting
Challenge-led: business problem → open call → shortlist → diligence → pilot → decision → contract or a venture built.
Open-innovation & startup-partnership platforms
An ecosystem registry and challenges module across talent, funding, support, growth and networking.
Accelerator & challenge design
Programmes designed around your problems, with clear give-and-get for every participant.
Intrapreneurship
Residency tracks — partner-, consultant-, executive-, investor- and founder-in-residence — that transfer capability into your team.
Digital & AI transformation tie-in
Pilots that land in your core systems, with AI use-cases governed and measured.
Engagement model
Phased — and built to hand over.
Innovation diagnostic
Mandate, assets, blockers and the first challenges worth solving.
Design
Strategy, governance, operating model, platform and metrics.
Launch & run
First challenges, venture-client pilots and venture builds — run with your team.
Scale & transfer
Scale what works, stop what doesn’t, and transfer the capability in-house.
Fees
Hybrid by design: a retainer that funds the work, plus a success fee tied to the outcome — a closed round, an approved facility, a completed transaction. Scope, deliverables and calendar are agreed in writing before we start. For Innovation-as-a-Service, the retainer covers the phase in progress; the success fee is tied to outcomes defined up front — such as pilots converted to contracts or ventures launched.
Measurement
If it isn’t measured, it didn’t happen.
Strategic fit
Beneficiaries reached
Deal flow unlocked
Capability transferred
Ecosystem signal
Cost — kept honest
Credibility
Built from the inside of a bank.
Innovation-as-a-Service draws on our founder’s past leadership role as former General Manager, Head of Innovation & Strategic Ventures at Banque Misr. The model applies the philosophy he worked by there: the institution as ecosystem orchestrator, challenge-led venture clienting, a give-and-get residency model, and impact measured across six dimensions.
A past role of our founder — Banque Misr is not a Wealth Grid client, and no Banque Misr data, figures, confidential information or logos are used.
