Venture Lane Studios’ goal is to generate momentum for your startup. Their core belief is that momentum begets momentum. Attracting capital, customers and top tier talent will naturally attract more of all three. Unlike other accelerators, VLS doesn’t want to put the ‘fuel before the engine.'
Who Should Join Venture Lane Studio?
Venture Lane Studio looks for companies with some ‘water through the pipes’ already. Meaning that they have at least an MVP, a handful of customers, and a co-founder. Founders with market experience is preferred.
Venture Lane Studio takes into consideration:
Founder Fit: They are looking for founders that have the drive and resilience to succeed. Aptitude, knowledge, skills and experience are important, but nothing tops integrity, a great attitude, and optimism for solving hard problems and attracting great people.
Company: Their sole focus is early stage B2B software companies that solve a big and important problem for their customers in a large market. You must be incorporated as a Delaware C-corp.
Go-To-Market: Ideally you’ve already found your first real/beta customers to prove that your product solves a customer pain. Your experience with clients will help fine-tune the sales process faster and with more accuracy. Venture Lane Studio then focuses on products that sell to private markets.
Product: You built your MVP or product so that customers can test or buy it. They then are foremost traction specialists with a focal point of gaining customers – less on building your service or platform.
Applicants do not need to be located in Boston, but companies who are accepted are expected to attend the first 3 weeks and last 2 weeks of the program in person (which is located in the heart of Boston near Faneuil Hall).

How Can You Join Venture Lane Studio?

After passing the online application, companies are invited to an in-person 2.5 hour workshop where companies will be observed working together. The goal of this workshop is to get a real feel for how founders function.
There is no fee to join, but this accelerator does take 4% equity, and reserves the right to purchase more common shares. Founder Christian Magel wants Venture Lane studio to behave more like a venture capital firm in this regard, by staying involved in the startup after the program is over, to both party’s benefit.
