§ 03 / THE LAB

One lab, several benches.

Alesium starts and runs its own companies. These are the benches they get built on — engineering, research, property, capital. Every one of them existed for our own ventures first; some we now put to work for others.

WHAT THE BENCHES DO
BUILT FOR OURSELVES FIRST
01

Construction Investments

Since 2015 we invest in construction on Cyprus — talented teams, new concepts, and joint projects with the island’s leading developers, through to ongoing operations.

02

Venture Strategy

Finding the opening competitors have missed, then committing to it. The same call we make on our own companies before we staff them.

03

Operational Build-out

Turning a working idea into a company that runs without its founder in the room — the part of venture-building nobody photographs.

04

Team Building

Workforce planning, hiring and demand forecasting. We have staffed our own ventures to a thousand-plus jobs; this is how.

05

Software Engineering

Platforms, mobile, antifraud, marketplaces. The bench that shipped Depositphotos, Crello and hooh.ai, available to a limited number of partners.

06

Fundraising

Raising for our own companies, and advising the ones we back. EBRD-backed once; we know what the room expects.
