MYNDSHARE
AI VENTURE STUDIO × M&A TURNAROUND

One AI platform. Two ways to build value.

Myndshare launches new AI companies with domain experts — and acquires underperforming businesses to turn them around. Both run on the same spec-driven, human-governed AI platform: production systems, not slide decks.

M&A TURNAROUND
M&A TURNAROUND — NEW

The turnaround stream, end to end

A PE-grade operating capability for underperforming retail & CPG assets. Objective diligence before the bid, cash control before the build, and a value-creation plan implemented as production systems — not slideware.

Most turnarounds fail on two things: buying the wrong asset, and spending on transformation before the cash is under control. The stream is built around both — five scored diligence lenses resolve into a GO / CONDITIONAL / NO-GO verdict with named kill criteria, and a 13-week cash forecast gates every build dollar until stabilisation lands.

Then the platform does what consultants can't: it implements the plan it scoped. Replacement systems are generated to spec and cut over per slice, and AI agents run the commercial operation under human gates all the way to an evidence-backed exit.

6–9 mo
Commercial replacement systems live — best case; 9–15 months for the full turnaround
5
Scored diligence lenses behind every GO / CONDITIONAL / NO-GO verdict
13-wk
Rolling cash forecast — build spend is gated until cash is stable
100%
Material decisions passed through a human gate with a tamper-evident audit trail
1
Assess
Objective-first diligence in 4–8 weeks: process graph, app estate, quantified value leaks — resolved into a GO / CONDITIONAL / NO-GO viability verdict before you bid
2
Stabilise
First 100 days: 13-week cash control, retrenchment, creditor alignment under interim leadership — no build dollar is spent until cash is under control
3
Transform
Reverse- then forward-engineer the operation: spec-driven replacement systems generated, tested, and cut over per slice in months 3–9
4
Optimise & Exit
AI agents run commercial operations under human gates; exit on an evidence-backed value narrative with a buyer-ready diligence pack

THE PLATFORM

One engine underneath both streams

Whether we're building a new AI company or rebuilding an acquired one, the work runs through the same four engines: discover the real operation, inventory the systems, build to spec, then operate and optimise under human governance. That's the moat — a platform that compounds with every engagement.

01
Dendrite
Discover

Extracts and models a business as an attributed process graph — domains, journeys, activities, roles, systems. The AS-IS state in weeks, from event logs rather than opinions.

In a venture
Maps the workflow your expertise automates, before a line of code is written.
In a turnaround
Delivers the diligence-grade process map behind the viability verdict.
02
Engram
Inventory

Maps the full application estate — every system, API, dependency, and health signal. Quantifies tech debt and shows exactly what to keep, replace, or retire.

In a venture
Keeps a new venture's estate clean, observable, and investable from day one.
In a turnaround
Scores an acquisition's tech risk and carve-out readiness before the bid.
03
Genesis
Build

A spec-driven development pipeline: governed specifications, typed contracts, and acceptance harnesses on every build. Production-grade systems, not prototypes.

In a venture
Ships a working MVP in weeks, with evals and playbooks built in.
In a turnaround
Generates the replacement systems the value-creation plan calls for.
04
Cerebellum
Operate & optimise

90+ retail-domain microservices and AI agents covering pricing, promotions, inventory, supplier collaboration, and supply-chain analytics — operating under human gates.

In a venture
Keeps operating and improving the product after launch, at lower run cost.
In a turnaround
Runs the acquired company's commercial operations and compounds the margin.
Spec-driven

Every system is generated from governed specifications with typed contracts and acceptance tests — quality is measured, not assumed.

Human-gated

AI agents earn autonomy through a four-level trust ladder; material decisions always pass a human gate.

Auditable

Decisions, gates, and artifacts land in a tamper-evident trail a board, investor, or lender can inspect.

PROOF
Built for operators who ship.
Founders with deep domain expertise, and sponsors with assets to fix — both get the same discipline: measurable outcomes, instrumented delivery, and no claims without evidence.
Weeks
to an MVP — or a diligence-grade diagnosis
Evals
and acceptance harnesses on every build
Gates
from first screen to exit, every decision logged
FAQ

Common questions

Short answers to reduce friction — for founders building a venture and sponsors weighing a turnaround.

Founder questionsSponsor questions
FOUNDER
We partner with established domain experts (10+ years experience) who have a proven track record in their field—whether you're an independent consultant, coach, corporate specialist, or employed expert in a specific domain. You should have an active network and the ability to identify 10+ potential early customers by name.
Expect 10-15 hours/week during the validation phase (first 6 weeks), then 5-10 hours/week during build. You'll be most involved in customer interviews, content creation, and strategic decisions—not technical implementation. We handle all the code.
Perfect. We're looking for domain experts who know their field deeply, not developers. Your job is to articulate the problem and solution—we handle all the technical execution, from UX to backend to monitoring.
We work on an equity partnership model. There's no upfront cash required, but you'll need to invest your time and expertise. We'll discuss the specific structure on the founder call based on your situation and commitment level.
We timebox validation to 6 weeks. If we can't find paying customers willing to commit, we'll help you pivot or part ways professionally. Better to know early than waste 2 years building the wrong thing.
No. Most of our founders keep their consulting practice or day job during validation. Once we prove traction and you're ready to scale, we'll discuss transition options. This is designed to de-risk the leap.
We timebox validation, instrument outcomes, and use established legal and operational frameworks so you don't rebuild foundations later. You'll know within 6 weeks if this has legs.
Qualified ventures may receive support on capital strategy and introductions through PE/VC relationships once traction and fit are demonstrated. Capital comes after validation, not before.
SPONSOR
Underperforming retail and CPG businesses — $50M–$500M revenue, 200–2,000 employees, Southeast Asia first. The pattern we look for is cyclical underperformance with a defensible core: legacy systems, manual commercial processes, margin compression the platform can attack.
The deliverable is production software, not a report. The same platform and team that diagnose the value leaks build and deploy the replacement systems, then keep optimising them — one accountable party from diligence to exit. We implement the plan we scoped.
Commercial replacement systems go live in 6–9 months on high-readiness, data-rich targets; the full turnaround runs 9–15 months with EBITDA inflection expected by month 12–15. We publish the scope of the claim rather than rounding it up.
Humans do. Agents climb a four-level trust ladder by earning measured acceptance rates, any incident demotes them, and every material decision passes a human gate into a tamper-evident audit trail your board, lender, or auditor can inspect.
