Growth Lab

SMEs
Scaleup leaders
Startup teams

Innovative companies often encounter challenges that need new perspectives, external input or intensive work outside the founder’s current expertise. In our experience working with hundreds of startups and SMEs, we’ve found running short, intensive and curated workshops can unlock these problems and enable the company to take action.

Each Growth Lab is tailored to the individual company’s needs. We bring in relevant, highly experienced people as our brains trust. Over three hours we work intensively to find new understanding of your challenges and potential solutions.

How can my business benefit?

A Growth Lab will inject fresh thinking to generate new approaches and plan actionable steps to unlocking your problem. Some common growth lab topics include:

Partner Relationships

Navigate complex partnership dynamics, resolve conflicts with co-founders or collaborators, and structure agreements that protect everyone's interests while driving the business forward.

Pricing

Develop pricing strategies that reflect your value, explore different models for your market, and find the balance between competitiveness and profitability.

Growth Planning

Map out your expansion strategy, identify the right markets or customer segments to pursue next, and prioritise initiatives that will deliver the greatest impact.

Spinning Out

Transition research or projects into independent ventures, navigate university or corporate spin-out processes, and establish the foundations for commercial success.

Team Growth Challenges

Address hiring needs, manage growing team dynamics, develop leadership capabilities, and build the organisational structure your venture needs to scale effectively.

Capital Strategy

Determine the right funding approach for your stage and goals, prepare for investor conversations, explore alternative financing options, and plan your runway strategically.
