About us

We are an economic consultancy firm for the innovation age. We help founders, investors, and institutions make sense of innovation through economic reasoning.

Our manifesto

Innovation is not a buzzword — it is the economic process of discovery. We believe markets are powerful not because they are perfect, but because they enable decentralized problem-solving. Innovation happens when individuals, firms, and institutions compete to find better solutions — often without knowing exactly what the solution is or who it will benefit. This is how new knowledge is created.

Value is not invented in isolation. It is revealed through experimentation, feedback, and adoption. The market tells us what works — and rewards what improves lives.

At FRONTTIER, we help decision-makers understand this process. We apply economic thinking to innovation — to see where value is created, how systems evolve, and why some ideas succeed.

We don’t follow trends. We study incentives, information flows, and human action. Because in a world shaped by uncertainty, the real advantage is understanding how innovation actually works.

Our vision for the future

Economics is often treated as a settled science — but it’s not. It’s a young field, still evolving, and many of today’s models were built for a different era.

Most institutions still rely on 20th-century assumptions: stable markets, top-down planning, linear growth. But the world has changed. Innovation, complexity, and decentralised decision-making now shape the economy.

Our vision at FRONTTIER is to develop the economic thinking needed for the 21st century — and help others apply it.
