Our position in the innovation chain
Ethivolve operates before validation, product development, and implementation.
We work in the phase in which:
- problem definitions are established
- architectural choices are frozen
- AI risks are implicitly determined
- later harm is already decided in the design
We do not validate products. We do not implement systems. We do not provide operational care or decision-making.
Ethivolve operates before choices become irreversible.
How Ethivolve creates value
We create value by combining:
- strategic system analysis
- legal and ethical delimitation
- AI governance and positioning
- protection and development of intellectual property
In the early phase, we support organisations and startups with decision-preparatory explorations, in which it becomes clear:
- which paths legally or societally deadlock
- where AI and privacy risks arise before investment
- which directions are sustainable and future-proof
Choices avoided in the design phase do not disappear — they return later as risk.
In later phases, the IP forms the basis for licensing, co-development, and controlled market application in regulated domains.
Cooperation
Ethivolve works with deeptech investors, public and societal funds, R&D partners, policy and healthcare organisations, and technology companies in regulated sectors.
Startups in an early phase that have doubts about their direction are also welcome for a substantive and exploratory conversation.
Cooperation always starts with delimitation, not with implementation. Each party retains its own intellectual property. Cooperation does not imply transfer or disclosure of intellectual property.
