Venture Studio
Where ideas become prototypes. Prototypes become products. And products become companies.
Vindico Labs is a venture studio: a place where new digital products are created, tested, and built into standalone commercial ventures. We combine the speed and creativity of a startup with the engineering power of Vindico ICS — enabling us to turn concepts into real, functioning software with exceptional efficiency.
Our venture studio exists for founders, operators, industries, and organisations that want to build the future, not talk about it.
A Structured Process for Creating New Ventures
Unlike accelerators or incubators, our studio does not rely on theory. Every venture moves through a clear, disciplined three-phase model:
Prototype
The idea becomes real.
We rapidly design and build an interactive prototype that demonstrates:
- Core user flows
- Key interfaces
- The value of the idea
- Early validation potential
This phase is intentionally fast and low-risk. It answers the most important question early: Is there something here worth building?
MVP
The first real version of the product.
If a prototype shows potential, it becomes an MVP — a functional, deployable software product that real users can test and engage with. We define:
- Essential features
- Technical architecture
- Timeline & delivery plan
- Budget
An MVP is where a venture begins to stand on its own.
Live Venture
The product becomes a company.
If the MVP gains traction, it may be formed as a standalone commercial entity with its own:
- Branding & governance
- Roadmap & commercial model
- Ownership structure
- Scaling plan
Vindico Labs typically retains a meaningful stake as the technical and product engine behind the venture.
How Ventures Begin Inside the Studio
Ventures originate from three sources:
Internal Innovation
Ideas discovered by the Vindico Labs or Vindico ICS teams, based on operational knowledge across sport, care, defence, transport, construction and more.
External Founders
Individuals or early teams who bring a strong idea and want a world-class product partner to build it.
Organisations With Untapped IP
Businesses that recognise opportunities in their sector but lack the technical capability to build digital products themselves.
Whether the idea is internal or external, our process is the same: prototype → validate → build → scale.
How We Work With Founders and Partners
We build with you, not for you. Our model is collaborative, transparent and structured.
Depending on the engagement, you may:
All such arrangements are agreed privately and case-by-case.
What Makes the Vindico Labs Studio Different
We actually build things
Some venture studios produce slide decks and pitch material. We produce working software.
We move fast
AI-accelerated design + experienced engineering = exceptional turnaround times.
We are grounded in real delivery
Our history across Vindico ICS includes platforms used by thousands daily in complex environments.
We understand operational realities
We build products that solve problems — not just look impressive.
We have our own portfolio and revenue streams
This allows us to pick ideas based on merit, not pressure.
We are sector-agnostic but experience-rich
Sport, social care, defence, venues, logistics, construction, sustainability — we know these spaces well.
Who the Venture Studio Is For
Founders with strong ideas and no technical co-founder
Organisations wanting to create spin-out ventures
Innovators seeking a build partner, not a consultancy
People who want to be directly involved in the creation of new products
Sector experts with insights but no engineering team
Individuals or organisations who want to participate commercially in early-stage ventures
Getting Involved
If you have an idea, a challenge, or a product opportunity, the next step is simple: Discuss your idea with us privately. We will assess:
