wGrow Labs/Build protocol
One venture. One shared build plan. Four stages.
Explore. Build. Prove. Raise. Each stage earns the next.
The Build protocol, stage 00 to 03
Fig. 01What happens in each stage, and what you leave with.
- 00
Explore
Frame the hypothesis. We test the problem, the buyer, your edge and the role AI actually plays, then agree on what must be proven first.
You leave with
A fit decision and a scoped build plan
Evidence gate - 01
Build
Ship production systems. Our engineers architect, build and deploy the product, including agentic AI, data, integrations and human-review controls where they are needed.
You leave with
A working, secured, operated product
Evidence gate - 02
Prove
Generate evidence. We run pilots, measure the operating improvement and sharpen the positioning, brand and market materials around what the evidence shows.
You leave with
Customers, data and a credible market position
Evidence gate - 03
Raise
Prepare for capital. We organise the company story, milestones, financial logic and use of funds for institutional, strategic and sector investors.
You leave with
A company ready for its next round

No cohort
Each venture runs on its own plan and its own timing.
Starts where it matters
The first milestone is the one that matters most for this venture.
Evidence both sides see
Every stage ends on proof: a pilot, a measurable improvement, a buyer who comes back.
Begin the conversation
What important problem can you see more clearly than others?
You don't need a polished pitch deck. Send a short, non-confidential introduction: the problem, your connection to it, what exists today and what you want to build.
- 01
Tell us the opportunity
The problem, who pays to solve it, and where you need help.
- 02
We review the fit
Founder, problem, potential business, and where the lab can contribute meaningfully.
- 03
A private conversation
If there may be a fit, we discuss expectations and a possible build plan.
Contacting us does not constitute an offer or commitment to invest. Please do not send trade secrets, unpublished IP, credentials or confidential technical information at this stage.
