LinkedInCompany backgroundOur origins, experience and approach+
A partner across
the project lifecycle.
Established in Hong Kong in 2013, Olsen Steiner works at the intersection of private investment, venture development and strategic advisory. Our operating experience connects Southeast Asia with Europe, with a current European base in Portugal.
The model is hands-on. We originate or assess opportunities, structure the business and partnerships around them, support capital strategy and, where the project requires it, take an active operating or board role.
We define the role each project needs: selective investment participation, venture development, strategic advisory or a focused operating mandate. That role can extend from the business model and capital structure to leadership, partnerships, launch planning and delivery.

HOW WE WORK
From opportunity to operating reality.
Olsen Steiner works beyond the advisory layer. Depending on the opportunity, we can structure the venture, align capital and partners, install operating leadership and remain involved through execution and scale.
Originate
Identify, source or develop a business or project opportunity.
Structure
Define the business model, ownership, partners, governance and capital requirements.
Back
Provide selected capital, operating resources, strategic support and access.
Build
Install leadership, systems, commercial execution and the capabilities needed to operate.
Scale
Develop markets, partnerships, revenue systems and organisational capacity.
Stay or step back
Remain as shareholder, board participant or strategic partner — or reduce operating involvement as the venture matures.

OUR METHODOLOGY
Independent ideas. Applied with purpose.
We draw on established thinking about people, place and learning. Our application is project-specific; the original ideas remain attributed to their authors.
Jobs to Be Done
Understand the progress people need.
Start from the situation and desired progress, not a feature list.
Clayton Christensen and collaborators · Jobs to Be Done
Our application & source
Interview customers about an actual decision; translate it into an outcome the product or service can test.
Motivation · Ability · Prompt
Make the next useful action easier.
Behavior depends on motivation, ability and a prompt coming together.
BJ Fogg · Fogg Behavior Model
Our application & source
Reduce effort and offer a timely, optional prompt. Do not confuse more notifications with better support.
Plan → Do → Study → Act
Learn before scaling.
A disciplined cycle of small tests, observation and revision.
W. Edwards Deming / Walter Shewhart · PDSA
Our application & source
Define a baseline and a hypothesis, run a bounded pilot, study the result and revise the next step.
People-first design
Start with everyday life.
Observe how people move, meet and use space before specifying buildings.
Jan Gehl / Gehl · people-first urban design
Our application & source
Map daily resident journeys; use them to brief circulation, places to pause, shared space and access.
Third places
Design for real human connection.
Informal gathering places beyond home and work can support community life.
Ray Oldenburg · The Great Good Place
Our application & source
Prioritise welcoming, accessible places to meet. A private lounge or an app is not automatically a third place.
Healthy indoor environments
Look inside the building, too.
The Harvard research framework draws attention to nine areas of the indoor environment.
Joseph Allen & Harvard Healthy Buildings · 9 Foundations
Our application & source
Use an appropriately qualified team to scope ventilation, air, thermal conditions, moisture, dust and pests, safety, water, noise, lighting and views. This is a research reference, not Harvard certification.
3–30–300
Bring nature within everyday reach.
A view of trees, neighbourhood canopy and walkable public green space.
Cecil Konijnendijk · 3–30–300
Our application & source
Assess visibility, canopy and walking access separately. These are planning reference points, not measured compliance or a health guarantee.
