Not advisors. Not an accelerator. Not a fund that just watches. We build outside what can't grow inside your house — and invest in what we build. We don't earn on the work. We earn on the result.

02Manifesto
Most who call themselves venture builders today have retreated into consulting: they recommend what to do and leave the risk to others. The easy way. We take the harder one. We build ourselves, we invest in what we build, and we put our name behind it — even when we stop a venture and earn nothing from it.
03Three forces
New businesses rarely fail because of the idea or the technology. They fail because nobody builds the company.
Technology, building and capital almost always sit in separate worlds. We bring them under one responsibility.
01 / 03
We know which technology can carry a business — and we build it ourselves. We assess technologies from corporate R&D, research and founders on four criteria: technological differentiation, real market demand, viable venture economics and the right timing. And we deliver, with more than 80 people, 60% of them with a technical background.
02 / 03
We don't advise, we build. From the first customer conversation through venture architecture to the founding team, we take full execution responsibility from day one.
03 / 03
We invest in the ventures we build. With Talos Global we also act as a venture capital investor, beyond our own builds as well. And because we invest ourselves, we talk to other funds as peers — personal intros instead of cold outreach.
The ventures that come out of it are the best proof.

04Team
Behind the three forces stand the founders and a team that has been building and scaling companies for over 20 years — technologists, product people and entrepreneurs who have carried a company from day one all the way to scale. Expertise and passion aren't a nice-to-have here: they're the reason our ventures work.
We don't advise from the sidelines — we build, we scale, and we put our own name on the line with you.
Who we are
The people, the conviction, and the 20-year story behind every venture we build.

06Engagement
You want to open up a new line of business, not just rework the existing one. We build it outside, in its own company, at startup speed and with full execution responsibility.
You fund the build at our cost, without margin. Every funding decision is yours. When the business carries, you bring it home — on rules and costs we agreed together up front. If it doesn't, we wind it down, not you.
Corporate Business CreationYou have a technology that deserves its own company — from research, from your R&D, or as a founder. We build it with you: from the venture thesis and the founding team to the first round. For research institutions and founders, we fund the work up to formation ourselves.
The founding team holds the majority, the technology source keeps its stake. The company grows independently — with external investors and, where it fits the thesis, with Talos Global.

Programs turn single cases into a system.
09Build + invest
Whoever builds with us sees from the inside how we work. For corporates with a venture unit and families with a family office, that's the path to investing — as an investor in Talos Global, our independent fund for AI-driven automation and autonomy.
As an investor you get more than the fund: you get our view on several thousand technologies a year, filtered for what matters to your business. What we build for you or other partners stays confidential.
The resultA client relationship becomes an investment relationship. And vice versa.
10Find your path
You want to open up a new line of business, or turn technology from your R&D into a company of its own.
Your core carries, but it no longer grows by itself. We build your next business with you — outside, as equals.
You want to invest in ventures that are already being built — or build new business inside your portfolio companies.
You need a path from lab to market that costs your institution nothing.
You have the technology; what's missing is the company around it.
