Beach is an innovation lab at the bleeding edge of AI, ML and next-generation product experiences.
Artificial intelligence and machine learning aren't trends to watch — they're forces reshaping how products are conceived, built, and scaled. The gap between those who harness this shift and those who don't is widening every day.
The question isn't whether to act. It's how to act with precision, speed, and craft.
Not advisors watching from the sideline. Founders and operators who've been in the arena.
Deep B2B SaaS experience from zero-to-one through growth and scale. We've built the products, hired the teams, and navigated the inflection points.
From early-stage VC to growth PE, we help investors evaluate technology, assess product strategy, and unlock value across their portfolio.
We're not a traditional consultancy. We're founders, engineers, and designers who build with our hands. Gritty, hands-on, and obsessed with craft.
We combine human-centred design, design thinking, and agile delivery with our own technology accelerators — purpose-built tools forged from real-world experience.
Start with people. Deep empathy, research, and insight drive every solution we craft.
Diverge to converge. Rapid ideation, prototyping, and validation to find the right problem and the right solution.
Ship iteratively at AI speed. Test-driven continuous delivery with built-in learning loops and real-world feedback.
Purpose-built tools forged from real-world experience. Our accelerators compress timelines, amplify outcomes, and give our Playbooks their edge.
Vertical-specific, outcome-driven engagements packaged for 4-week to 3-month timeframes. Each Playbook is underpinned by the BeachWay — our blend of human-centred design, design thinking, and AI-native product discovery — and delivered through our purpose-built technology accelerators.
Plugin Platforms & Ecosystems
Plugin platforms are the defining architectural bet for the next era of enterprise SaaS. They let you leverage a global developer ecosystem to drive innovation beyond the limits of your own team, unlock entirely new business channels, products, and revenue streams through platform economics, and — critically — provide the sandboxed execution environment that makes AI-generated code production-safe with guardrails built in from day one.
Evaluate extensibility readiness, ecosystem opportunity, and technical landscape to chart a clear path forward.
Design scalable plugin architecture, developer-facing APIs, SDK foundations, and security model from first principles.
Build marketplace infrastructure, developer portal, and onboarding experience for third-party developers.
Scale your ecosystem with partner programs, developer engagement, governance, and health analytics.
Outcome-Focused Transformation
The transformation playbook for service companies making the shift from generalist provider to outcome-focused, niche-market leader. We guide the journey from assessment through to pilot and scaled rollout of productised offerings — leveraging domain expertise, credible methodology, and AI-enabled delivery powered by Gleo.
Audit your current service model, map reusable domain expertise, and build a prioritised roadmap for your productisation transformation.
Design your first productised offering end-to-end — vertical, methodology, deliverables, pricing, and a live pilot engagement to validate the model.
Scale from pilot to a full portfolio of productised offerings with AI-assisted delivery, codified methodology, and operational playbooks.
