ACTS VentureLabs

Bring us an idea. If we believe in it, we back it.

VentureLabs is how new bets enter the circle. Not a grant programme, not an accelerator — a way for the founders we believe in to get capital and operating partnership for the long haul.

How it works

01

Submit your idea

Share your pitch — a deck or written summary. It goes through The Pitch Desk, our structured review.

02

We review it honestly

Scored against the same rubric we use on our own ventures: nine dimensions, three hard filters, and the five questions an investor will actually ask.

03

Winners get capital + time

The ideas we believe in don't just get a cheque — they get operating partnership, distribution, and a long-term backer.

The next venture in the circle could be yours.
