Case Study: Making Electric Aviation Real with Cormorant

Introducing the client: Cormorant

In the race to decarbonize aviation, few ventures are as bold and grounded in real-world need as Cormorant. By developing the world’s first electric amphibious aircraft capable of landing on both land and water, Cormorant is unlocking sustainable connectivity for underserved regions across the globe.

At RiskSphere, one of our purposes is to help start-ups and scale-ups with sustainability in their DNA through hands-on management and strategy consulting. Supporting Cormorant’s growth journey meant bridging the gap between vision and investor-ready strategy; bringing clarity, structure, and momentum to a pioneering business.

Cormorant's challenge

Cormorant’s aircraft is not just innovative in design; it’s revolutionary in intent. The challenge isn’t just technical; it is holistic. A high-potential proposition like this needs to resonate with regulators, investors, and regional stakeholders alike. That’s where RiskSphere contributed.

RiskSphere helped the team translate technical ingenuity into investor clarity by testing their financial model, sharpening the go-to-market logic, and refining the strategic narrative. The collaboration focused on structuring revenue streams, outlining funding needs, and making the certification and scaling journey concrete. This wasn’t about polishing a pitch; it was about building a resilient business case rooted in credibility, feasibility, and purpose.

A Unique Proposition for a Changing World

Cormorant is positioning itself at the intersection of innovation and inclusion: from the Dutch Caribbean to the African Great Lakes, its aircraft can unlock access to healthcare, economic opportunity, and sustainable tourism in places conventional aviation has long overlooked. What stood out throughout the collaboration was how the team matched management and strategy consulting skills with a clear commitment to social and environmental transformation.
