We believe entrepreneurs and designers are best placed to solve the world’s most challenging problems. That’s why we partner with early-stage founders who want to make the world a better place and are unafraid to challenge the status quo.

As founders ourselves, we’re accustomed to working under high levels of uncertainty. We recognise untapped opportunities are often lurking in the unknown. Venture design is our approach for identifying and exploiting the highest potential ideas.

"My partnership with Berst has been like having on-demand access to the co-founder I never had. James is deeply invested in my business and is always there to support when I need it—whether that’s visioning something, sense checking, getting hands on with some key design work, or just a well timed bit of confidence boosting! I’m not sure where I’d still be on this journey without them."

Jonathan Garner, Founder & CEO, Mind over Tech
