A strategic advisory for founders building in web3

We help founders and teams at different stages of development and growth avoid costly mistakes by actively guiding them on the decisions that matter most.


We make complex steps simple, so you can build with fewer blind spots and move forward with confidence.

WE ADVISE ON

We work with founders and teams on the decisions that shape how a project is structured, operated and documented. The focus is on ensuring the way a project is designed aligns with how it actually runs, both now and as it evolves.


We do not replace lawyers or operators. We provide clarity on how a project is designed and where risk, friction or misalignment may arise over time.

Structuring

Documentation

Structuring

Build smart, not messy.


How a project is set up and governed, including where control sits and how key decisions are made as the project evolves. 


This includes entity structures and jurisdictional considerations at a conceptual level, with an emphasis on ensuring the structure supports how the project actually operates.

Operations

Documentation

Structuring

Zoom out. Think ahead.


How a project operates day to day, beyond what is described on paper. This includes how responsibilities are allocated and how authority flows through the team.


It also involves analysing where gaps, overlaps or unclear ownership could create issues as the project grows or changes.

Documentation

Documentation

Documentation

Document everything.


Whether a project’s documentation reflects reality and provides appropriate protection as circumstances evolve. 


This includes how key relationships are documented, how obligations are defined and where agreements may be unclear, outdated or misaligned with how the project is run.

THE RISK REVIEW

The usual starting point for working with us, bringing focus to the decisions that matter now and providing a clear path forward.


What you get


A clear view of where the project is exposed and why.

A prioritised view of issues based on impact and urgency.

Clear direction on what to address now, what to plan for and what can wait.

A practical reference point to guide future decisions.


After the review


A) One-off clarity

For some teams, the Risk Review becomes a clear reference point. They take the outcomes and move forward independently, with greater confidence about where to focus and what to prioritise.


B) Ongoing advisory

For others, the Risk Review becomes a baseline that Cogninno is used against as new decisions arise, keeping judgement and context consistent without relying on open-ended engagements.

OUR PUBLICATIONS

We issue two weekly publications. 

One focuses on developments in crypto law relevant to where and how founders build and the other on issues that determine whether a crypto project survives or breaks.

This is a short weekly summary of what changed in crypto and crypto-related law and why it matters for founders. If you're building in web3 and want to stay informed without tracking regulators across the globe, this publication is for you.

SUBSCRIBE

This is a series of notes on building lasting web3 projects. Each edition explores issues that determine whether a project survives or breaks, and the founder decisions, behaviours and trade-offs that shape those outcomes long before the consequences are obvious.
