Who we are

I founded Scappare Ventures because I saw a clear and widening chasm in the industrial world. On one side are the Global Corporate Titans—large corporations with unlimited resources and access to expensive, multi-year digital transformation projects that leverage the full power of Artificial Intelligence. On the other are the Small to Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs)—the backbone of our economy—who are grappling with skilled labor shortages, escalating costs, and a competitive technology gap. AI is a critical tool for survival and growth for these SMEs, offering them the chance to become highly efficient and compete with larger rivals.  However, the existing consulting models and enterprise-grade solutions are simply too complex, too costly, and too risky for them to adopt. Our mission is to democratize these "Big Company Capabilities" by providing an accessible path to AI-driven operational excellence that will all SME’s to thrive in the AI era.

Scappare Ventures is positioned as the Pragmatic AI Partner for small and medium enterprises. Unlike consultancies led by pure technologists, our firm is built on the founders unique and deep experience in the corporate world running global P&L’s, product management and engineering organizations and executing complex transformations.. We speak the language of industrial businesses and the factory floor, focusing on tangible business outcomes like EBITDA, OEE, and scrap rates. Our entire engagement model, the Landfall Framework™, is engineered to de-risk your investment by starting with a small, fixed-price "AI Opportunity Assessment" and a subsequent pilot project to prove value on the shop floor before any large-scale commitment. We don't sell you on hype; we deliver quantifiable ROI that helps your business escape inefficiency and venture into a new era of profitable performance.
