The problem we
solve
Accelerators
Accelerators suffer from
Low engagement level
Mentor-based approach rather than a clear process
Poor way to measure early stage startup development
Startups
Startups fail because they lack
A product that somebody wants
A structured approach to company building
Slow or non-existing learning loops
Investors
Investors fall behind by
Focusing on risk assessment rather than risk mitigation
Stuck with old due dilligence process
Chasing unicorns rather than healthy business
A startup is a temporary organization designed to search for a repeatable and scalable business model.

Our take
How you should work with startups
Steve Blanks definition tells us everything we need to know about how to work with startups. It points us in the direction of our purpose, processes and mindset as ecosystem builders.
When we validate startups our goal is to break down their current business model. This identifies their biggest risk and prompts them validate their assumptions by doing customer discovery to put the pieces back together in a new and stronger combination.
By pushing startups towards failure, we accelerate learning with the goal of pivoting into a stronger business model.
With the level of risk involved in early-stage startups, it makes a lot more sense than simply building on what they already have.
Validate is about getting startups out of the building. To mitigate risk rather than simply accepting or assessing it.
The result is better teams and ultimately stronger investment cases.
