Overview Platform & Ecosystem Services

We support you - end-to-end

We support you (startups, corporates, non-profit-organization, etc.) along the whole journey – from early exploration & validation to launch, to scale and beyond. 

For each phase of a platform journey we created specific programs based on our experience of >20 years platform innovation & entrepreneurship. 

Below you will find more information about the specific programs.

fastbreak.one is a venture development studio teaming up with corporations to create new platform ventures from scratch and tackle new markets together.

We are specialized on building new businesses based on network effects driven by platform economics and aim for a sustainable future.

We had the pleasure to innovate together with companies in multiple industries such like healthcare, manufacturing, high-tech, finance / banking, engineering, sport, food … over 150 platform ventures in the last years.

We help corporate dinosaurs avoid extinction and grow, using corporate venturing techniques, to enable them to hunt for startup unicorns. We are not an agency. We are not innovation consultants. We are entrepreneurs.

We co-drive your (corporate) start-up towards your customer of tomorrow. Find out more about our purpose, method, culture and habits on our website.

This includes 2 validation rounds (problem + solution) and definition of the core elements of the business models like monetization strategies, experience and service design, roadmap, scalability with network effects, IT architecture, team capabilities, etc. The process is highly structured, remote and and executed by senior platform entrepreneurs.
