LVNS WATER CYCLE PROJECT ロゴ

HOW WE WORK

Find the challenge, gather the technology,
and validate it in the field.

We move from challenge definition and technology scouting to team building, field validation, productization, commercialization, and regional development in five stages.

START FROM FRAGMENTS

You do not need to start with a clearly defined business theme.

“We have a wastewater challenge at our factory.” “We want to find a new use for our materials.” “We want to make use of local aquatic resources.” “We want to test research in the field.”

Projects begin with fragments of challenges and possibilities like these. We organize the challenges and available assets, explore the technologies, people, and fields needed, and build an executable project.

FIVE STEPS

From the world's first to industry.

STEP 01

Organize challenges and technology assets

STEP 02

Explore researchers, startups, and companies

STEP 03

Build a project hypothesis and validation plan

STEP 04

Validate in the field and refine the business model

STEP 05

Move toward productization, commercialization, and regional development

STEP 01

01

Organize challenges and technology assets

We organize the challenges faced by companies and regions, along with technologies, facilities, materials, byproducts, people, and fields.

What Leave a Nest does

  • Organize challenges and underlying factors
  • Explore the technologies, people, and fields needed
  • Design participating organizations and evaluation metrics
  • Support the process from validation to the next hypothesis

When to move to the next step

  • The purpose and value of validation are clear
  • The team, place, period, and costs are organized
  • The conditions for commercialization are visible

STEP 02

02

Explore researchers, startups, and companies

We search beyond the water sector for the technologies and people needed to address each challenge.

STEP 03

03

Build a project hypothesis and validation plan

We design which challenge to solve, with which technologies and team.

STEP 04

04

Validate in the field and refine the business model

We validate not only technical performance, but also operations, costs, regulations, and relationships with the region.

STEP 05

05

Move toward productization, commercialization, and regional development

We organize manufacturing, customers, funding, and sales partners to grow a sustainable business.

OUR APPROACH

Four characteristics that move projects forward.

See challenges and technology together

We create business opportunities from the technologies, facilities, materials, and people you already have.

Explore technology beyond existing fields

We combine technologies from different fields without limiting ourselves to the water sector.

Go beyond one-to-one introductions

We build teams of researchers, regions, governments, and companies.

Think through commercialization after validation

We validate costs, operations, manufacturing, sales, regulations, and regional value.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I consult you without a specific business idea?

Yes. We can start by organizing your challenges, technologies, and regional resources and help create a business theme.

Can I participate without water-related technology?

Yes. Technologies from other fields may help solve water-cycle challenges.

How long do projects usually take?

Initial challenge definition and technology scouting may take a few months; field validation is typically around 3–12 months.
