A house can beengineered, not inherited.

A holding company for independent ventures in property, software and craft. We look for constraints an industry treats as permanent, and check whether they actually are.

The group

Different industries. One question, asked the same way.

Korsakov Group starts companies in places where the obvious solution doesn't exist yet. The businesses look unrelated from the outside, and they are, deliberately. What connects them is not a market but a method.

Each one begins with a rule everybody follows without checking it. A building has to stay where it was built. Good design work is only affordable at scale. A craft tradition dies because it stopped paying. In every case the rule turned out to be a habit rather than a law.

The companies are independent. Each has its own product, its own customers and its own economics, and none subsidises another. The group gives them shared standards, shared infrastructure and a longer horizon than any single business could justify alone.

How we work

Own the constraint

We pick problems where the limit is physical or regulatory, not a matter of taste. Those limits can be measured, and moving one changes an entire economics.

Ship before it is safe

Every venture is expected to reach a real customer early, at a smaller scale than is comfortable. A first sale settles arguments that a plan cannot.

Build it to be moved

Assets that can relocate, teams that are not tied to one country, structures that survive a change of jurisdiction. Nothing we build assumes a permanent address.
