Entrepreneurship
as-a-service
We are a team of corporate leaders turned successful digital entrepreneurs. We know corporations don’t lack growth ideas or neglected assets, but just the freedom and capability to execute. That’s why we’ve created the first corporate entrepreneurship firm.
We design and grow new ventures and brands with corporations. We set them free from constraints to boost speed and the odds of success. We’ve crafted our own methodology based on externalised entrepreneurship: we call it excubation. Thanks to our track record, we have the confidence to co-invest and fully align our interests.
We are one-of-a-kind. Unlike consulting firms and startup studios, our business model and teams have all it takes to build new ventures and brands in a corporate context: strategic thinking, an entrepreneurial mindset, corporate understanding and aligned interests.

Fast-Up Partners
vs Consulting Firms
Consulting firms clearly have the brain power to produce strategies on slides, but seldom execute them in the real world. Beyond analysis, we add business intuitions, risk taking, gut based decisions and operational capabilities to make strategies happen.
Fast-Up Partners
vs Startup Studios
Most digital startuppers fall short in the corporate context. Corporations need partners who deeply understand the way they work so that they can move fast without losing support and buy in.
