Find the opportunity
Identify valuable problems, assess emerging technologies and define where your product can make a meaningful difference.
Passion for creating products and services that add real value and translate into competitive results
We help teams turn a technical possibility into a useful product, a stronger business or a new category. We connect disciplines, test assumptions and focus effort where it can improve performance.
Identify valuable problems, assess emerging technologies and define where your product can make a meaningful difference.
Turn your concept into something testable: product direction, rapid prototyping, materials, sensors and supplier coordination.
Build the route to adoption through positioning, category creation, OEM partnerships, licensing and commercialization.
An experienced perspective for founders, leadership teams and boards navigating technology, product and growth decisions. Chris combines technical depth with the practical judgement that comes from building products and businesses.
Challenge assumptions, assess technology and product opportunities, and connect innovation choices to commercial priorities.
Support founders and leadership teams with product direction, category creation, partnerships and the decisions that shape growth.
Work through a specific challenge in product development, wearable technology, thermal regulation or industrial innovation.
The right collaboration may be a focused consulting engagement, an ongoing advisory relationship, or a contribution at board or advisory-board level.
Start a conversation ↗Start with the decision that matters. Test the assumptions behind it. Bring the right technical and commercial people together to move it forward.
Clarify the user need, technical constraints and commercial opportunity.
Compare the options and use targeted prototypes to resolve uncertainty.
Use data, domain experts and real users to learn what matters.
Shape partnerships, production and go-to-market around the evidence.
Start with a real problem. Connect ideas across disciplines. Build something that helps. These projects show how technical creativity and commercial judgement come together.

Heat can limit performance, while cooling is often treated as a separate task. At Ultra Cool Tech, we develop new materials and Active Cooling products that fit into the equipment athletes already use.
Inspection conceptJudgements about product quality can vary between inspectors and factories. SwissVeritas.ai is developing AI-enabled inspection to make those judgements more consistent, with a traceable record for each product.
Heat training · Concept imageAthletes and coaches needed a practical way to understand thermal strain during exercise. Chris helped take CORE from an early prototype through product development and launch, connecting body-temperature monitoring with the decisions performance staff make.

Precision laser processing depends on understanding what happens where the laser meets the material. Chris initiated a smart processing-head product line, bringing sensing and process monitoring closer to that point.
Keeping software working, up to date and connected created everyday friction. Chris’s Microsoft projects explored automated support, software updates and data conferencing—ways to make complex systems more useful to the people relying on them.

Getting the Benetton B186 running again meant making modern electronics work with its original fuel-delivery system. Across race engineering, the same creative problem-solving extended to engines, suspension, damper technology and team operations.
Driver + vehicle data · Concept imageA car’s telemetry could show how the machine was performing, but missed the driver’s physiological response. BioTelemetry brought heart rate, body temperature and oxygen saturation into the same data stream.
Where is the unmet need—and could a new technical approach create lasting value? Experience as a named inventor on Microsoft patents informs how Chris connects product ideas, evidence and intellectual property.
Earlier technology work included Windows networking, Oracle database connectivity and antivirus software—experience in making emerging capabilities useful within established platforms.
Chris Blomfield-Brown works across innovation, product development and venture building. His experience spans sport performance, thermal regulation, advanced materials, biometrics, software, AI-enabled manufacturing and product traceability.
Through CB Squared, we bring that experience to founders, product teams, manufacturers and performance specialists. We can help with a focused technical challenge, a new product direction or the longer journey from concept to market.
The curiosity extends beyond work. Chris spent almost six years sailing aboard SV Tahirih, including remote parts of the Pacific, and holds a 50-ton captain’s licence.
Athletes, coaches and performance staff have the hard job of turning training, technology and data into results. Our goal is to add value and play a small role in their journey. The same principle guides our work with every client: understand their challenge, contribute something useful and help them move forward.
