The Studio Philosophy

More Than Consultants.
We Are Operators.

Most strategy firms hand you a deck and wish you luck. We embed. NextWave was built on the belief that great technology dies without great distribution.

We treat business development like a creative discipline—combining the pattern recognition of an A&R executive with the rigor of a venture partner. Whether co-building a venture or scaling a client, our skin is in the game.

Access to global decision makers in media & capital.

Outcome Obsessed

We don't bill for hours, we build for enterprise value.
