Studio Zao’s Case Studies

We supported the innovation team of Pentland Brands to identify 12 innovation challenges. Then we designed and delivered a bespoke venture ideation sprint to address them, and provided dedicated venture coaching so that 3 innovation ideas have been added to the development pipeline.

We helped iSono Health to raise a multi-million dollar seed funding round by conducting a 8-week market validation campaign that tested 11 different customer acquisition channels to get evidence of market demand, identify early adopter customer segment and plan a go-to-market strategy.

Studio Zao designed and ran MedTechBOOST, a one-week Venture Sprint for the Eastern Academic Health Science Network to create early stage ventures for the NHS. We applied our systematic lean venture-building process to develop AI solutions for challenges in Mental Health and Healthy Ageing.
