For companies

Install an innovation practice that runs on evidence.

Corporate innovation teams use ValidLab to run the whole loop. Ideas enter through governed intake, earn their way through seven stages of validation with real gate sign-offs, and land on a portfolio where every bet is measured on one evidence standard. The Innovation Hub engagement installs it with you: consulting, team workshops, and your governance stood up by hand. Then your team runs it on the platform.

Engagements start at $15,000, platform license included.

What your team actually runs

Real surfaces from the product, in the order your pipeline uses them. See the full example portfolio.

Governed intake
Idea submission

“Cut warehouse returns with vision-based QA at the packing line.”

SubmittedPromoted to validation
Anyone on the team submits raw ideas; a named screener promotes what deserves the method. Promotion opens a full 7-stage workspace, so nothing enters the portfolio by being loud.
Stage-gate sign-off
Define → Validate gate
ReviewerApprove

“Problem evidence is real. Two sites quantified the returns cost. Proceed to demand validation.”

Named reviewer and decision-maker roles sign each gate, with the rationale on record, and sponsors are named on the role layer. The sign-off trail is append-only, so it stands up as an audit line rather than a recollection of the meeting.
Portfolio on one standard

Vision QA72% · gate 4/7
Supplier portal38% · capped
Every idea’s evidence-weighted quality and gate progress on one screen, plus activation metrics: in-pipeline count, intake→promote rate, and gate cycle time.

Kill bad ideas early, on evidence

The persevere / pivot / kill argument is settled by weighed evidence rather than by the sponsor’s seniority. A deal-breaker caps the score until it’s resolved, so momentum can’t outrun proof.

A decision log that survives reorgs

Every verdict is recorded with the evidence that drove it and the outcome that followed. Answering “why did we drop that?” takes one click, three reorgs later.

Your process, mapped to real roles

Sponsor, reviewer, and decision-maker roles are assigned per member and layered on the workspace, so governance mirrors how your organization actually decides.

One license for the working group

The per-seat Team plan covers your innovation team: up to 50 seats, full method for every member. It’s bundled into the engagement and stays available standalone.

Innovation Hub · done-with-you

We install your innovation practice. You run it on ValidLab.

A sales-led engagement for corporate innovation teams: we set up the method, stand up the governance by hand, and hand you the platform. Then your team runs it.

  1. 01

    Consulting

    We stand up your innovation practice with you: how ideas enter, how they’re weighed on one evidence standard, and how the portfolio is run.

  2. 02

    Team training

    Your teams learn the seven-stage venture method and how to argue persevere, pivot, or kill from evidence rather than eloquence.

  3. 03

    Governance & stage-gate setup

    We configure your portfolio, decision log, and stage-gate structure by hand in the engagement, with sponsor and reviewer roles mapped to your process.

  4. 04

    The platform license is included

    Your ValidLab license, the per-seat Team plan for your working group, is bundled into the engagement as the recurring tail. It also stays available standalone, unchanged.

Engagements start at $15,000, and we scope the rest with you on the call.

Prefer to start without the engagement?

The platform stands alone. Sign up carrying your team intent and we’ll set up the company workspace with you. Team is a paid plan: $69 per seat per month, or $690 per seat per year (two months free).
