We create, transform, scale and operate businesses, earning trust as a partner in growth across Europe, the Middle East, Asia and North America.

Corporate venture building means creating new businesses from a company's own assets, intellectual property or R&D, rather than only advising on them. A venture builder designs, launches, scales and often operates the new business alongside the corporate partner.

We follow six steps: foresight, venture design and validation, build, launch, scale and operate. AI is embedded throughout, and we stay involved after launch, through scaling and into long-term operation.

It depends on scope. A foresight project, a single new venture and a portfolio of ventures run on different timelines, and hardware takes longer than digital. We agree the plan, stage gates and milestones with each partner at the start.

It depends on scope and on the commercial model. Engagements can be fee-based, can include co-investment from Creative Dock, or can tie part of the reward to success. We agree the model with each partner rather than offering identical terms to everyone.

Through three propositions: M&A + Venture Building, The AI-Native Challenger and the Founder-First Accelerator. We create businesses through venture building, M&A and buy-and-build, corporate carve-outs, R&D commercialisation, founder-led creation, spin-outs and joint ventures.

Engagements can include investment and shared participation. Creative Dock shares commercial commitment through long-term partnerships, co-investment and success-based models, agreed engagement by engagement.

Fintech, energy, FMCG, Deep Tech and AgriFood. Our track record also covers mobility, health and other sectors.

In 40+ markets across Europe, the Middle East, Asia and North America, with offices in Zug, Prague, Berlin and Riyadh.

We keep building beyond launch into scaling and operation. 28 ventures are currently under Creative Dock management, and we have 25+ live ventures with 100 million users.

We execute end to end, from foresight to operation, across digital and physical products, and we bring real skin in the game. As the largest independent corporate venture builder, with 140+ ventures built since 2012, we combine corporate governance experience with the speed of a startup team.

Dock42 is a separate Zug-based Creative Dock unit, set up in 2025, specialising in enterprise AI: SaaS replacement, AI agents and AI-assisted workflows.
