Research → Root Insights & Climate Thesis

We don’t just research problems—we uncover venture opportunities.

At Mecca, research is the first step in a venture’s lifecycle. It’s where we explore the systemic breakdowns, inefficiencies, and overlooked friction points that represent not just technical challenges—but market signals.

Our interdisciplinary approach combines historical context, policy analysis, and real-world field data to identify where innovation is most urgently needed and most likely to scale.

This isn't research for the sake of white papers. It’s the groundwork for venture creation.

What This Looks Like in Practice:

• Mapping policy and regulatory shifts to surface non-obvious venture opportunities

• Studying materials flows, compliance bottlenecks, and waste ecosystems to define reintegration gaps

• Partnering with facilities, municipalities, and agencies to access ground-level data and test assumptions

• Using historical infrastructure decisions as context for what must be redesigned—and how

From Insight to Investment Thesis:

Our Research phase is how we built the case for ventures like:

• REACT: reverse engineering as a digital workflow, not just a forensic tool

• 2DaLoop: geospatial and ERP data as infrastructure for circularity and compliance

The insights surfaced here form the foundation of the ventures we spin out and scale.
