Labs
It’s prototyping at the speed your business needs and customers expect.
Labs: What we do
Ideas are great, but our Labs start from a different place – with problems worth solving. Our incubation and accelerator programs provide the centre of gravity for your innovation efforts – market focused research, data and insight, agile product development and lean methodologies adapted for the corporate or government environment and disciplined and focused mentoring and facilitation designed to deliver your outcomes.
Our Labs are designed to solve real world problems. With a focus on industry insight and data, we partner with you to generate research, validate market opportunity and build entrepreneurial capability in a disciplined, methodical way. Supported by our Academy programs, Labs can be delivered in virtual or in-person cohorts.
Our secret sauce is to collaborate with you and across your industry to identify pilot opportunities that help cohort startups rapidly validate their business models. We aim to generate 18 months of business knowledge in each startup during each cohort focused program. These programs run between 12 and 20 weeks or can be custom designed to your investment and innovation needs.
Labs: Rapid prototyping
Creating innovative solutions can be done quickly and effectively using collaborative techniques such as hackathons and design jams. Over 2-3 days, participants build, test and pitch prototypes. We curate expertise, data and insights to support teams and coach them through a pitch session where solutions are judged by problem owners.
They say seeing is believing. What value then do we put on experience?
With the Disruptors hackathon and design jams, we put your teams at the centre of an immersive experience that transforms mindset and business behaviours.
Our prototyping workshops and events incorporate design thinking, customer journey mapping and the latest in rapid prototyping tools. They are led by expert facilitators, and are designed to connect your problems worth solving with business models, services or products that are innovated in days not months.
Case study: Corporate accelerator
In partnership with care provider New Horizons, we created unboxd – the wellbeing enterprise lab. The unboxd Lab has been created to incubate the ideas of a small cohort of early stage wellbeing and social enterprise startups.
Within the lab, the Disruptor’s team, alongside the New Horizons and external mentors run short accelerator programs, to assist them in becoming market and industry ready.
We consulted with New Horizons and built the business case for the lab along with Well8, the first wholly owned startup for New Horizons. Well8 is a wellbeing data platform that onboards customers, assesses their wellbeing and matches client needs to available services.
