For Accelerators & Incubators

The Startup Founder’s Lab

A monthly leadership programme for accelerator and incubator portfolios, delivered alongside your existing curriculum. Founders are trained to build products and raise capital. This programme closes the gap in the one skill nobody else teaches them: leading the people who have to execute on both.

SOFT SKILLS FOR ALL STARTUP FOUNDERS

“Founders are coached on product and funding. Almost none of them are coached on leadership, and that gap is what determines whether the team around them can actually deliver.”

– The problem this programme was built to address

What the programme covers

Six modules, chosen to fit your cohort

These are not a fixed curriculum. Each cohort completes a short founder survey first, and the modules that follow are recommended based on where that specific group needs the most support.

Module

Deciding with incomplete information

Founders rarely have full data before a decision is needed. This module builds the judgement to move forward anyway.

Module

Speak to every room

Investors, engineers, and early customers need a different version of the same story. Founders practice all three.

Module

Leadership in the age of AI

What changes, and what does not, about leading a team when tools and roles are shifting underneath them.

Module

Build a team like NASA

High-stakes, high-ambiguity team structures borrowed from mission-critical environments, adapted for early-stage teams.

Module

The discipline of NO

Early founders say yes to everything. This module builds the criteria for saying no on purpose.

Module

Network like a pro

Turning founder networking from an occasional favour into a repeatable, strategic practice.

How the partnership works

Start with a trial, scale from there

Trial package

A single starter session for your portfolio, so your accelerator can see the fit before committing to a full track.

Ongoing packages

Tiered at 1, 3, or 6 workshops. Every package includes a half-day session, a live Q&A, and three months of email support afterward.

Expertise add-on

One-hour or longer sessions with industry experts on specific niche topics.

Exact per-workshop pricing for each tier available on request.

The EQUAIS lens

The activation gap starts at founding, not at scale

The activation gap is the distance between what a team is capable of and what the leadership around them actually allows them to deliver. In a startup, that gap forms on day one, inside the founder. A portfolio that closes it early builds companies that scale on stronger foundations, and an accelerator that teaches it becomes the one founders recommend to the next cohort.
