How Growth Labs
Work
- Each Growth Lab follows a structured, high-performance process designed for commercial traction and real-world impact:
- Industry-Led Problem Statements
- We co-design problem statements with partners who commit as first customers and early investors.
- Entrepreneur-in-Residence (EiR) Model
- Each Lab is led by an exited founder or veteran operator with deep sector expertise. They’re incentivised with equity and revenue share to drive venture success.
- 12-Week Intensive Program
- A focused sprint to reach product-market fit. Not every startup makes it through—only the strongest progress to the final pitch.
- One Venture Selected Per Problem
- The best startup from each lab receives investment and a first customer engagement from the partner that helped define the problem.
