What is ventureLab?

ventureLab is a cross-market startup studio and incubator that builds and invests in innovative technologies by providing entrepreneurs with seed funds, business resources and global relationships. We take a fully hands-on approach to develop the product and the business and create a clear path to revenue with customers, commercial partners and new geographic markets.

Consistent innovation is built on fundamentals.

Our Approach

We believe the greatest opportunity for value creation, for both investors and entrepreneurs, is in the earliest stages of a startup. We adamantly seek alignment between all parties to create an flexible foundation and efficient process to consistently build successful businesses. Our hands-on approach puts us in the day-to-day with entrepreneurs, bringing our expertise, experience and relationships to drive true growth.

Core Tenets

Create True Value

Develop a business that has a clear and measurable value to specific customers.

Build Right

Build for form, function, agility and scalability. All are essential.

Data Matters

Data provides critical intelligence, especially in the early stage.

Be Hands-On

Investment doesn't build a business. Specific expertise and daily contribution does.

Align to Markets

Find product/market fit, across one or many global markets.

Revenue First

Determine and build an immediate path to revenue upfront.

Startup Clusters

We invest in strategic clusters of 2 to 5 startups which allow us to incubate efficiently and optimize business development. We currently have three clusters organized through 2016:

Cluster One: Native Engagement

Intelligent ad and marketing technologies focused on the confluence of social media, content creators, and enthusiast communities to drive scalable, individually targeted engagement and value transfer.

Cluster Two: App-Driven Commerce

Apps and platforms that connect online to offline to drive demand, own transaction points, and trigger virality for small to medium-sized businesses and local commerce.

Cluster Three: Digital Health & IoT

Platforms and technologies that enable or leverage data, wearables, and IoT to deliver actionable individualized intelligence or infrastructure in meaningful contexts to improve lives.
