THE TRANSFORMATION
IMPERATIVE

At BR8K, we believe the surest way to have your company die is to do nothing. To tinker on the core. To sell the same product to the same audience. That’s because the market is changing so fast: barriers to entry are low, which makes your core product increasingly commoditized unless you can lock in an unfair advantage.

THE FUTURE
BELONGS TO
THE BOLD

The leaders of tomorrow are those who chart new territories today. These pioneers pursue growth by venturing into new categories, audiences, and business models. They have the foresight to know their long-term security will paradoxically come from bold bets today--ones that expand the aperture of what the company is and does.

MAKING BOLD
BETS CAN BE
COSTLY

But leading the transformation from within can take up precious time and resources, which distracts the business from securing and growing the core of what you do.

BR8K DERISKS
YOUR BETS

That’s why we created BR8K – to help companies incubate new ideas beyond the core in a way that keeps the core business whole and healthy
