AI venture studio & advisory · Sydney

Your hardest AI problem is our next company.

Unblox embeds with your team to take AI from strategy to shipped systems. When a solution turns out to be a pattern your whole industry needs, we spin it out and build the company — with you.

AI-native

We build with the tools we recommend. No theory without a system behind it.

Human-centred

AI that makes your people more capable — not a headcount spreadsheet exercise.

Skin in the game

The studio model means our upside is tied to solving your problem properly.

01What we do

Three blocks. One system.

Start with any block. They compound: strategy uncovers the problems, capability makes the change stick, and the studio turns repeated patterns into companies.

AAdvisory

Strategy & Transformation

Board-level AI strategy that ends in production, not PowerPoint. We embed with your team, pick the problems that move revenue, risk or capacity, and ship working systems against your metrics.

  • AI strategy & opportunity mapping
  • Agentic workflow design & build
  • Operating model to run it after we leave
BCapability

Executive Education

The programs behind executive AI education for Samsung, the ATO, QBE and CBA — rebuilt for your context, not a generic curriculum. Your people leave using AI daily, not talking about it.

  • Executive & board AI programs
  • Team-level AI operating skills
  • Capability diagnostics & roadmaps
CStudio

Venture Studio

When an engagement uncovers a high-value problem that repeats across an industry, we co-build the company that solves it — with you as first customer, reference, and if you want it, co-owner.

  • Pattern-to-product validation
  • Spin-out formation & build
  • Operator talent & capital network
02The model

The Unblox loop

Consulting firms sell hours. Studios chase ideas. We run one loop that turns solved problems into companies.

Step 01

Embed

We work inside your team on a problem that matters to revenue, risk or capacity — not a pilot for the innovation lab. If it wouldn't survive a board conversation, we don't start.

Why this is different: your engagement fee buys a solved problem either way. If the pattern generalises, you get early access — and optional equity — in the company built to solve it at industry scale.
03Proof

Trusted in rooms that don't tolerate hype.

04Who's behind it

Built by an operator who teaches, and a teacher who ships.

Unblox is led by Lamont Tang — AI strategist, founder, and faculty at AGSM @ UNSW Business School and the UNSW AI Institute.

Lamont has run executive AI programs for Samsung, the Australian Taxation Office, QBE and Commonwealth Bank; founded a HAX and Johnson & Johnson-backed AI hardware company; and is a Stanford StartX alum. That mix matters: most advisors have read about AI transformation. We've been on both sides of it — the boardroom and the build.

Unblox exists because the same pattern kept appearing: enterprises don't need more AI advice, they need someone accountable for the outcome. And the best problems — the expensive, repeated, industry-wide ones — deserve more than a consulting engagement. They deserve a company.

No decks without systems

Every engagement ends with something running in production, and people who can run it.

Humans set the bar

We design AI around judgment, trust and adoption — the tech is the easy part.

Compound, don't pilot

Pilots die in labs. We pick problems whose solutions compound across the org — or the industry.

Skin in the game

Where it makes sense, we take outcomes and equity over hours. Incentives beat promises.
