Building a regulated product is complex. We help you make sense of it.

Launching a crypto or fintech startup means dealing with product questions, compliance expectations, investor pressure, and operational challenges — all at once.

Most founders don’t need a full-time executive team. They need clarity, senior judgment, and a coherent plan.

That’s where we come in.

ASD Labs works with early-stage founders and growing teams to transform complexity into a structured roadmap you can execute with confidence.

Our Work Falls into Three Pillars

Strategy Architecture
Turn your idea into a clear, investor-ready, execution-ready plan.

We help founders define:

a business model that fits the regulatory context
product architecture and feature sequencing
compliance approach that doesn’t stall growth
operating model and roles
a realistic 3–12 month roadmap

This process avoids costly missteps and helps founders move from uncertainty to action.

Fractional Advisory
Senior judgment — without hiring a full-time executive.

We support founders as a strategic and risk-focused partner:

weekly decision support
prioritization and roadmap refinement
investor narrative and preparation
risk radar and early-warning signals
alignment between product, compliance, and operations

Founders get access to experienced thinking, but remain fast and flexible.

Operational Architecture & Compliance Build-Out
Your operational backbone — designed and executed.

Our team helps you implement what your strategy requires:

transaction monitoring setup
access control and role design
operational workflows and escalation paths
vendor selection (e.g. Sumsub, Jumio, Cube3, TRM)
policy stack
readiness for MiCA, PI, or EMI licensing

We turn your strategy into a functioning operational foundation.

If your product lives at the intersection of innovation, regulation, and execution, we help you build the right way from day one.

Founders Navigating Early-Stage Complexity

We work with solo founders and pre-seed teams who are shaping their vision into a real product. If you’re building your first regulated fintech or crypto platform and need clarity on where to start — we help you turn uncertainty into structure.

Fintechs & Crypto Platforms Ready to Scale

Seed–Series A startups partner with us when product, compliance, and operations start pulling in different directions. We realign the moving pieces, identify the risks, and create a roadmap that’s realistic, fundable, and execution-ready.

Teams Preparing for Licensing or Investor Diligence

Companies entering MiCA, PI/EMI licensing, or investor due diligence rely on our end-to-end strategic and operational insight. We help you put the right systems, controls, and narratives in place — without slowing down your momentum.

Who We Work With

The Outcome

Clarity & Strategic Direction

You gain a clear understanding of what to build, why it matters, and how the pieces fit together. We remove noise, resolve contradictions, and give you a structured path from idea to execution.

Operational Confidence & Senior Judgment

You get access to experienced operators who’ve built inside regulated fintech and crypto environments. Decisions become sharper, risks become visible earlier, and your team gains the confidence to move fast without breaking what matters.

Systems That Scale Cleanly

We design the operational and compliance foundations that allow you to grow without chaos. A fit-for-purpose operating model, aligned controls, and a roadmap you can trust — all built to support your next stage of scale.
