Goldacre Ventures & L Marks launch scale-up programme
Goldacre Ventures (Goldacre), a VC firm based in London focusing on the Smart Built Environment, has today opened for applications from around the world for its scale-up programme, RElab.
RElab is an ecosystem of entrepreneurs, industry leaders, corporates and investors that together focus on RE-shaping and RE-imagining the relationships between space, people, services and sustainability. The programme is targeting exceptional entrepreneurs and teams that are exploring innovative solutions at any touchpoint in this universe; from building, to curating, managing and delivering services into the spaces where we live, work and socialise.
After a selection process, 12 start-ups will work with the RElab team and partners during a 14 week scale-up programme. The start-ups will benefit from: working with RElab’s partners on fine-tuning product-market fit; commercial pilot opportunities; support on swiftly growing their business; London working space; and up to £100,000 in available financing.
The three-month programme, which is predominantly based in London, will run from February to June 2020. RElab partners include BAM, Capreon, DLA Piper, JCA, Knight Frank, Lee Baron, L Marks, Lockton, Landsec, White & Case and 01 Ventures.
Commenting on the launch of RElab 2019-2020, Fionnuala Hogan, Managing Director of Goldacre and Co-founder of RElab, said:
RElab was founded to bridge the worlds of the built environment and technology. Building on the success of last year’s programme and supported by our wonderful team of partners, mentors and advisors, the 2019 – 2020 RElab programme will be a space for innovation and collaboration, supporting exceptional entrepreneurs to scale their businesses more quickly and gain access to new markets, customers and investors.
