Venture Egg. The What, Why, Who, When and Where:


What  

Venture Egg is a minimum viable product lab. We use the vehicle that is a proven viable, well packaged concept to help integrate budding entrepreneurs successfully into their local network of early stage advocates, specialists and investors towards providing them the best possible chance at a successful conversion.

Why

The large majority of capable entrepreneurs are mostly left out of an ecosystem that operates along a series of passive filters. Those relatively few folks who are generally technical in nature and can clearly and concisely convey their idea are made more readily available the resources that exponentially increase their chances of scaling a larger market.

While Venture Egg is not exclusive to non-technical founders, we see an opportunity to serve what we call The Other 95% and in doing so illuminate an opportunity for early stage capital in moving up the chain closer to entrepreneurs. We intend to prove that a more aggressive approach to cultivating ambition into viable ventures will provide a much higher yield to investors over time.

Who

The lab model is a scalable version of the process utilized by Jason Lorimer in working on early stage ventures. Each Venture Egg lab will have a series of local mentors, advocates and interns, with an existing global network of specialists in place to execute mostly standardized tasks like data, design, coding and content production.

When

The first one opens February 2012. The intent is to partner with advocates in each plotted city to open as many as possible once deemed sustainable. The expansion model we intend to follow is similar to that first established by Dave Eggers with his 826 Valencia venture.

Where

We have decided to follow the lead of The Start Up Foundation as it pertains to the roll out cities. With the support of the Federal government, organizations like the Kauffman Foundation and entrepreneur super-advocates like Brad Feld, the Start Up Foundation has identified 8 fertile entrepreneurial markets having mostly disparate ecosystems.
