Situation
Arista Seating Solutions had done the hard, slow part: a patented seating product refined over years of development, from concept through market-ready offerings. What it needed was the business infrastructure to turn an invention into an investable company — a plan, a model, a brand, and a deck that made the case to capital.
The engagement
CMA built the full package, structured the way an investor evaluates a patented consumer product.
Problem, solution, and the moat
The plan led with the problem the product solves and the solution itself — then placed the patents front and center. In a consumer-products venture, defensibility is the first question a serious investor asks, and Arista’s patent position was its strongest answer.
Product and the concept-to-market story
We laid out the product offerings and a concept-to-market timeline spanning years of R&D — turning a long development history into a clear commercial narrative — and framed the business model built around bringing the patented product to market.
Market, model, and deck
A market analysis, a financial model, a brand identity, and an investor pitch deck, aligned end to end, so the invention, the market opportunity, and the numbers reinforced one another.
Why the structure mattered
The decisive choice was to make the patent do the heavy lifting in the narrative. Plenty of products claim to be better; a fundable company proves the advantage is protected and maps to a real market. Leading with the moat, then backing it with the timeline and the model, is what turned R&D into an investable story.
Impact
Arista left with a funding-ready package that presents a patented product as a defensible business — plan, model, brand, and deck, consistent end to end. The invention was always real; CMA built the case that lets it raise.
A patent is an asset only once the plan around it makes it investable.

The Work, In Sequence
How the engagement ran
- 1
Problem, solution & the patent moat
We led the plan with the problem the product solves, the solution itself, and — front and center — the patent position, because in a consumer-products play the defensible moat is what an investor underwrites first.
- 2
Product & concept-to-market story
The product offerings, and a concept-to-market timeline spanning years of development, structured so an investor could see the journey from idea to market-ready product and the business model built around it.
- 3
Market, model & deck
A market analysis, a financial model, a brand identity, and a pitch deck — so the invention, the market, and the numbers told one consistent, fundable story.
