The Business Factory

We design and produce new businesses and products that leverage our partner's core assets to grow faster.

It's well-known that the enterprise isn't designed for flexibility. The rigidity, risk-aversion, hierarchy, and process that are required to keep the organization running at scale stifle innovation.

New entrants benefit from the ability to be flexible both mentally and operationally; yet, they lack the scale, relationships, and experience to dive into the existing market.

V1 integrates the best of both worlds to build new businesses that can leverage the assets of our enterprise partners to build, launch, and operate new business lines.

This is where we come in

We’re a dedicated team of new business veterans and customer focused individuals who understand what's required to build a successful new business. We realize that the best ideas come from a small, diverse, committed team who are given the freedom to find a need and fill it.

Case Study
How great we truly are

What we do

Our boutique entrepreneurial service requires our select partners to grant us the autonomy required to build a creative culture that values exploration, optimizes for rapid learning and growth.

We partner with enterprise to:

Design new business models

Dive deep into your sector, learn what’s working, discover areas of opportunity in order to design a new business that can bridge yesterday's solution to today's problem elegantly.

Build breakthrough products

We deploy our creative team of business, product, support and sales staff to validate, test, iterate, and launch the new business line.

Co-create shared ventures

We accept investment in new ventures that build long-term shared-value.

Case Study
We made a neat watch app

How we do it

Unlike most typical consulting firms, we’re built on a bedrock of shared value. We built V1 from the ground up with the intent to align our incentives with each partner:

We build the right team. Our flexible work model allows us to draw on a variety of different experts from across the landscape of startup success -- we assemble our teams for each business from scratch based on the needs and culture that will best-manage and grow it.

1

We aim for maximum transparency. Our transparent milestone-based work and budgeting model allows us the flexibility to learn while providing our partners deep insight into our progress.

2

We structure for the long term. We only take on projects that we believe in enough to manage and operate through profitability and we structure the business models for long-term success based on the needs of each partner.

In an exclusive interview, V1 speaks with CEO and founder of Bloom Consulting, José Filipe Torres, about the perceptions, misconceptions and efficacy of place branding.

The Dumb Generation: What it means for young people who are all text and no talk

Young generations prefer to text rather than have a conversation, and it’s causing problems in their personal and professional lives, according to experts.

The Advertising Agency of the Future

The future of advertising is coming, but it won’t be totally dominated by AI-powered machines. Humans will still play a role as the power of machine learning technology is still lacking.

Dubai’s Mission to become the First City Built on Blockchain

The city of Dubai continues its ambitious aim to become the capital of innovation by pursuing its next objective – becoming the world's first government powered by blockchain technology

China’s AI Power Play

China is making strides in AI, with a robot passing its medical licensing exam with flying colors. Some say it has so far eclipsed the US in terms of AI research.

Letting Big Data Be the Judge May Be Criminal

Technology used to predict if a convicted criminal will reoffend is coming under attack. Some researchers suggest it’s just about as accurate as a poll of untrained people.
