WATERBOYS VENTURES
An operator-expert led product and design assessment for clients active in materials, water, waste, and industrial innovation.
WATERBOYS VENTURES - Design diligence
Businesses and investors in water, waste, materials, and industrial innovation have strong technical and financial diligence. What they consistently need is a product and design POV — whether the concept is differentiated, deployable, and worth the thesis and investment.
We fill that gap through fast, practitioner-led scopes using our expertise as operators and designers across these verticals to deliver exceptional results for your needs.
SCOPE 01
Direction Brief
A fast product and design read — two or three concept directions with a clear recommendation. The design POV and answer to support the overall thesis and innovation question.
SCOPE 02
Design Diligence Brief
One or two directions developed to medium fidelity — product framework, initial specifications, design positioning, and where applicable, novelty identification for IP counsel.
SCOPE 03
Full Design Diligence
A comprehensive thesis and design direction developed to venture-ready fidelity — complete design positioning and specification, concept audit, rendered prototype, and a full novelty & IP brief.
