Partnerships
Work together where the fit is real.
BMU partnerships are designed around clear scope, accountable roles and work that creates practical value.
Partnerships work best when responsibilities are explicit.
BMU works with individuals and organisations where we can contribute meaningful publishing, research, technology, education or venture capability. We prefer clearly scoped partnerships over vague affiliation claims.

Define ownership and responsibility
Deliverables, intellectual property, data, access and maintenance responsibilities should be understandable before work begins.
