The venture building approach

A holistic philosophy to venture building

As a Venture Studio, we integrate this network into our three-step venture building process, which sets its primary focus on a thorough ideation, validation and team building phase, giving each venture the time it needs to grow.

IDEATION

Incubation

SCALING

Step One IDEATION

The ideation phase is the crucial phase in venture building. This is why we don’t put a time limit on ideation.

Together with our team, as well as external industry partners, our Founders brainstorm ideas and test them out using real datasets. This allows us to iterate using real user feedback and find a product or business model that will sustain.

Internal & external collaboration

sharing

Step Two INCUBATION

We only start incubation once we have validated the product and business model.

During this phase we give our Founders access to our vast talent pool, and help them knock on the right doors so that they can build the ideal team for their venture.

We also continue working on the product, leading the way to pilot projects with industry partners to ensure that we never lose sight of customer needs.
