The innovation architect.

Linebreak creates enterprise value from technology shifts. As your innovation architect, we raise the value of the business you already own, and we build the adjacent entities that some innovations require.

We work with mid-cap services and technology companies and their sponsors, and we stay from the first engagement until the business runs without us.

01How value compounds

The three horizons.

Artificial intelligence is the shift in play right now. It changes how technology and services get delivered, and what that work is worth. Value builds across three horizons, from the business you run today to the one you build next.

Built with Linebreak

Today(baseline)

Your business as it stands, at its current worth.
Everything that follows rests on it.

02How we work

We build it with you, and stay until it runs.

Three phases carry the work from first framing to market, in the business you run and in anything we build beside it.

Design

We develop the value creation framework with you, and shape the opportunity into a value-accretive plan.

Build

We build it with you, transforming and inventing across the business you run, and standing up a separate entity where an innovation needs one. To accelerate, New Icon, the engineering company within Linebreak, can spearhead the build.

III

Sell

We take it to market together, through your channels and our ecosystem, and stay until it stands on its own.

How we engage

We win when your business does.

We work as your architect: value creation is the goal, and innovation is the means. You own the work and the decisions. Our reward comes from the value we help create, so the risk sits with us alongside you.

Where the work calls for a new company or a joint venture, we invest our own capital in it. The investment deepens our commitment, and we remain your architect.

03What we bring

The people, the platform, and the ecosystem behind the work.

Three things stand behind every venture: the people who lead the work, a platform we own and keep extending, and an ecosystem that brings capacity and capital.

I Expertise The people who lead the work

Linebreak's team

Lead the work from the first conversation through to launch.

Patrick Nicolet

Affiliate partners

Signed for a domain, and brought into the ventures that need it.

Dr. Vijay Chandiramani

Robotics

Robotics PhD from the University of Bristol, researching morphological intelligence and adaptive control. 30 years in public-sector transformation, including as COO of Liberata UK.

Charlie Weibel-Charvet

Design thinking

Co-founder of Pivot·e, a Paris collective that brings design thinking to sustainable innovation. Former innovation and sustainability consultant at NAX Group, applied innovation manager at Capgemini, and earlier at Sogeti.

II Platform Owned, and compounding

Every engagement builds on a library of assets we own and keep extending, and what it produces becomes the starting point for the next.

Reference architectures

Proven blueprints for the systems behind each venture, reused and refined from one venture to the next.

Accelerators

Working components and tooling that shorten the path from the first line of code to a running product.

AI agents

An expanding set of agents applied across delivery, so the platform does more of the work over time.

III Ecosystem The network behind the work

An ecosystem most companies spend years assembling. Established partners accelerate Transform, and early-stage assets feed Invent. It brings engineering capacity across digital transformation, enterprise AI, and safety-critical work, and capital from seed to buyout.
