Ventures
Some of the best innovations inside a company never become products. They get built to fix an operational problem, run for years and create real value without ever leaving the building. We work inside operations. That is where we see them, and where we help them grow into ventures.
Why this dimension exists
When you understand the bottleneck, you also recognise when an internal fix has product potential.
Most consultants never get that close. Strategy consultants are too far away, and internal teams are too busy running their operations. We sit in between: embedded enough to spot the opportunity, independent enough to do something with it.
This is the second dimension of how coompanion works. Both start in the same place, inside your operations, and they feed each other.
We help operations teams own the tools, methods and mindset to transform their own work. Readiness Check, analysis, implementation, enablement.
When that work surfaces something bigger than a process improvement, we drive it forward with the company and our partners into a new venture.
How it works
We do not go looking for spin-outs. They emerge from real engagements, and only when all three signals line up.
The problem we solved is not unique to this client. The same pattern repeats across the industry.
The solution stays simple when scale hits. It does not break, sprawl or need a rebuild to survive growth.
The buyer is specific enough to describe. A profile we can name and reach, rather than a hypothetical persona.
When the three line up, we decide together with the client what happens next. Sometimes the innovation stays internal and gets licensed later. Sometimes it spins out as a product with shared upside. Sometimes a new venture forms around it, with coompanion and partners in the build. The structure follows the asset, the client and the market.
vyto.ai is the AI assistant for handling German parking tickets, built by Robert Poensgen and now operating as its own product. It started where most of our work starts: a real operational pain point with a repeatable shape.
The pattern was visible from inside operations. The technology was reachable with applied AI. The customer was specific enough to design for. vyto.ai is what walking that path looked like in practice.

If one of these sounds like you, talk to us. We are former COOs. We know the difference between an internal fix and a venture-grade opportunity, and how to drive the second without disrupting the first.
A tool, a workflow, a small piece of software that solves a real problem for you and might solve it for others.
You suspect there is a product hiding inside your own process but lack the bandwidth or the outside view to act on it.
You want to know whether to keep it internal, license it or build a venture around it, before committing budget.
A 45-minute conversation is enough for a first read. We tell you honestly whether the three signals are there.
