About Incandescent Incandescent is an advisory firm discovering how to create, build, and run enterprises to do the world’s most important work. We focus our work on three primary platforms: - Corporates & Fortune 500s https://www.incandescent.com/work/advise, including a dedicated focus on Private Equity. We work with leaders with ambitious visions, whose aspirations reach beyond simply optimizing their current operations or applying known best practices. Our work focuses on: - Strategy: shaping and redefining strategic direction at the enterprise level - Execution: building the organization, culture, and talent necessary to achieve a new vision, a new level of performance, or a new magnitude of scale - Innovation: creating new businesses and new capabilities within established organizations - Systems Change Organizations https://www.incandescent.com/work/social-impact, including philanthropies, non-profit organizations and mission-driven enterprises. In this platform, we focus on: - Shaping strategy for systems change actors - Partnering with for-profit and non-profit entrepreneurs as they create and scale new organizations - Applying practices in organization, culture and talent to social sector organizations - Building partnerships among organizations that see the world differently – across sectors, disciplines, ideological lines and organizational stages - Ventures https://www.incandescent.com/work/ventures, from late seed stage through Series B.
