maai: the right distance. Reading the distance between a company and a market, and saying whether the moment is to move in or to hold.
The firm brings more than twenty years negotiating with top-tier developers and corporations in both markets, postgraduate training in finance and a verifiable record in institutional capital raising.
Scope and fees for each engagement are set out in a written proposal, after a first conversation.
Strategic diagnostic
A four-to-six week assessment of the opportunity: target market, matrix of structure alternatives, matters to validate with your advisors and a prioritised roadmap. A deliverable ready to decide on with your board.
Fixed-scope project
Market entry plan or feasibility study with a financial model: return analysis on your assumptions, scenarios, counterparty and channel research, budget and execution plan.
Ongoing engagement
Strategic direction of the project in motion: governance of the commercial process, preparing your team for negotiations, tracking results and permanent access. Six-month minimum.
Access, not process
What opens a door is a relationship, not a checklist.
Judgment, not volume
If a project does not hold up, we say so.
One counterpart, two markets
We replace both the local consultant and the partner on the ground.
Fixed fees, never commission
We take no third-party commissions and no participation in transactions. Our only compensation comes from you.
Scope in writing before we start
Every engagement defines by contract what it includes, what it does not, and what a licensed professional must validate.
Independence of judgment
We do not represent third-party projects or products. If an opportunity does not hold up, we say so.
Declared use of artificial intelligence
Commercial-grade tools that do not train on your data, and human review of every deliverable.
Five questions before you commission a feasibility study
Most feasibility studies get filed without changing a single decision. The problem is almost always in the brief, not the analysis.
The costliest pricing mistake when entering the US
Entering cheap looks prudent. In practice it is the fastest way out of the conversation with the customers you wanted.
A 30-minute call, at no cost.
