KINSPACE Enterprise

The methodology behind every venture

KINSPACE Ventures is one expression of the KINSPACE method — a rights-based approach to intelligence, strategy, and capability developed over a decade working with Fortune 500 companies, UN agencies, and multinationals across Asia Pacific, North America, and Europe.

The same method that powers the ventures is available to enterprise leaders and teams through KINSPACE coaching and consulting.

The founders

What do you see before you build

Methodology to see what's missing. Foresight to know what holds up. Between us — the technical capability to build AI, IoT, and emerging technology products and get them into the hands of the people closest to the problem, fast.

"The KINSPACE method is the asset I bring to every venture — methodology, market access, and capital, co-built alongside founders with the lived experience to build what the market has missed. We build for the edges first. When it works for the person hardest to reach, it works better for everyone."

Sara Liyanage-Denney, Founder

About Sara
A decade of rights-based intelligence practice across Fortune 500 companies, UN agencies, and multinationals — Asia Pacific, North America, and Europe. The methodology behind every venture: who's most impacted, who's not speaking, what's being missed. Sara sees what the market has overlooked and builds with the people closest to the problem.

"The asset I bring to every venture is foresight — knowing early which ideas hold up and which ones only look good on paper. I ask the hard questions most founders don't think to ask until they've already made the expensive mistake, while they can still change direction. Balancing short-term goals against long-term impact."

Jo Rocca, Co-founder

About Jo
Co-founder across the portfolio. Jo works across the majority of Kinspace ventures — pressure-testing every product, business model, and go-to-market before they reach the market. Quick to test, quick to validate, quick to get it into hands. The filter between vision and viability.
Common questions
What is KINSPACE Ventures?
A co-investment and co-founding model that brings capital, methodology, and market access alongside founders with lived experience in overlooked markets. Each venture is co-founded with the person the product was built for — not pitched to, not advised by, but built with.
What emerging technologies does KINSPACE Ventures work with?
Artificial intelligence, virtual reality, immersive learning, assistive technology, and universal design. Mogo is AI-built assistive technology for children. Bublii applies AI to coaching for difficult workplace conversations. KINSPACE has also worked with Deakin University on VR research, Equal Reality and People Tech Revolution on VR simulations, and Algorand on blockchain product development.
How does KINSPACE co-found with emerging founders?
By bringing the KINSPACE methodology, a decade of global market access, and co-investment alongside founders who have lived experience in a market that has been overlooked. Co-founders are the product authority — not advisors or recipients of funding.
What is the KINSPACE method?
A rights-based approach to intelligence, strategy, and organisational capability. Five questions in every room: who is most impacted, who is not speaking, who is not represented, how am I contributing to the problem, and how can I create space? Applied with Fortune 500 companies, UN agencies, and multinationals across four continents.
What does co-designing with lived experience mean?
The person with lived experience is the co-founder and design authority — not a research subject or focus group participant. Berlin, age 10, is Chief Design Authority of Mogo. Fatima Sampayo co-founded bébé bloom. Jo Rocca co-founded Bublii. Universal design embedded from day one, not retrofitted.
Why does KINSPACE focus on neurodivergent founders?
We are the edge cases. 72% of founders report a mental health condition or neurodivergence. 96% report experiencing discrimination. When we build for the most complex brain in the room, we build better for everyone. We\'re not perfect, but we\'re actively progressing this — and that\'s the point.
