HOW
DISRUPTIVE INNOVATION THAT MATTERS
We look for simple solutions to complex problems. But these are mostly wrong because they don't take into account the multidimensional nature of the problem.
Demanding solutions is also easy, but making them marketable as products is not. Because here, too, more and more dimensions are opening up than we can even imagine at the beginning.
Building an impact tech venture is comparable to nurturing a plant: it requires adaptability, constant care, and comprehensive expertise for it to truly flourish.
By that, we have already described very well how COSMICGOLD works: according to a data-driven, systemic approach with established venture-building methodologies in a transdisciplinary ecosystem drawn from complementary fields of science.
​
This involves continually adapting to the unique requirements of both the evolving technology
and the founders team.
These elements are the basis for product solutions and economically stable companies.
But COSMICGOLD even goes one step further: A company or venture is an entity in our economic system that needs to act under the premise to not destroy our planet. Regenerative business design transfers the process of renewal and regrowth from an ecological system to the process of venture building.
​
Our goal is not just to minimize harm, but to create ventures whose positive effects on society, the environment, and the economy clearly outweigh any negative impacts. By focusing on net positive outcomes within planetary boundaries, we actively contribute to restoring and strengthening ecological and social systems and enable disruptive innovations that create lasting value for all stakeholders.
To achieve a fundamental impact, we take a holistic view of the interactions and interrelationships involved in all areas of a business model. In this way, ecological and social problems are not simply shifted, but real disruptive innovations are created within the framework of "regenerative businesses". These types of companies create long-term value for stakeholders and society as a whole, by prioritizing and integrating economic, social, and environmental benefits equally into business practices.
So what we do is: Don't talk, act – to lay the foundation that technological fiction can become reality.
OUR CORE THREE AREAS
Product & Impact Market Fit
A market can only emerge from very good products when they solve real customer problems and achieve strong product market fit. But to build fundamentally sustainable businesses, this must go hand in hand with impact measurement, systems thinking, and transdisciplinary collaboration. By integrating a clear theory of change and understanding interdependencies, we reduce the risk of failure, use resources more effectively, and make it possible to achieve and demonstrate net positive effects.
Problem Solution Fit
Very good products are very good because they create real value instead of just being useful. To do this, we need a deep understanding of user needs and the ability to react quickly to changes. User-centric design and agile product development are therefore already state of the art.
Team Partner Fit
Achieving all of this requires strong founders within an ecosystem who value each other's skills and contribute to the common vision. It is not just a matter of using methods correctly, but of taking responsibility for one another. Like the formation of cosmic gold, where different elements come together - we need diverse people to set off together to discover new worlds.
Why this triad?
Because disruptive deep tech – as the name suggests – is rarely just a simple idea. It is the combination of many individual elements. A combination of expertise and what we know as the innovator's dilemma: developing their own market. Because new technologies or materials depend on the development and implementation of new processes and infrastructures. Therefore, it takes a long time before these products are used. On average, 10 to 15 years. But if we wait too long now, such innovations will come too late for our children's future.
