Our  approach 

The TICC industry is massive, $67 billion in Europe alone, yet it remains surprisingly fragmented. Thousands of small businesses deliver essential services: fire safety inspections, water hygiene testing, asbestos surveys, electrical certifications. Services that keep people safe.

We believe these businesses deserve better than a quick flip or a Private Equity cost-cutting playbook. We're building an AI-native platform on top of which great TICC companies can thrive for the long term.

Every business we partner with is different: different people, different strengths, different markets. Yet the bottlenecks and workflows are often strikingly similar. We keep what makes each one special and add the tools to help them grow in the age of AI.

How we support
