Has the search fund model been applied to venture labs:


The venture lab funds an entrepreneur for up to 24 month to get a new startup off the ground. The objective is to prove the new startup can become a viable business. The proof will be in the startup raising money from traditional VCs within the 24 months.

Any insights or pointers to existing examples will be greatly appreciated.

Cirrus, there are incubators out there, though much less common than accelerators which invest in a very early stage company / idea. Some are not public. They tend to be more industry specific, don’t necessarily match a two year timeline, and of course would want to be a lead follow on investor for future fundraising rounds.

There seem to be a glitch. I wrote the content but it disappeared after posting. Just added the content.
