An outcomes-led venture studio for neurorehabilitation, education and return-to-work (RTW).

SAILs Venture Studio

What We Do

We build and scale evidence-based products and programmes that move people from care to capability to contribution. Unlike generalist studios, we operate inside regulated pathways with clinical-grade data and commissioning know-how.

What makes SAILs different

  • QoL as the north star (not valuation). We define success by Quality of Life, participation and sustained RTW/education — not vanity metrics. It’s rare, and it’s measurable.

  • Psychology ⇄ Case Management ⇄ Education ⇄ Employment. We don’t just build tools; we run the contexts where change happens, so learning loops are fast and real.

  • DfE-regulated services and litigation/Local Authority channels give trusted access to hard-to-reach users and institutional buyers.

  • Proprietary psychometrics plus outcomes-grade data let us make — and refine — claims others can’t.

  • Our Group model blends bootstrapped R&D with responsible IP commercialisation.

  • We develop practitioners that hold QoL central to what they do — dignity, agency and long-term flourishing over short-term hacks.
