For partners who want their capital or expertise
to move something real ...]
WIP turns support into focused sprints where founders build, test, learn. They leave with proof of impact and clarity of what should happen next.
CONNECT TO PARTNER
Three ways to stand behind sprints.
Different partners bring different power. Some bring capital. Some bring expertise. Some bring access, credibility, and reach. WIP gives each contribution a clear role inside the sprint.
Lend your Expertise
Bring your domain knowledge, operator experience, or special skill into a build.
Individual
Join the team
Join a small core team of WIP, where every member is a domain specialist. Your skills create real impact on the ground and every sprint compounds your growth.
BECOME A CONTRIBUTOR
Organization
Join the ecosystem
our organisation provides expertise, infrastructure, or access that strengthens sprints across the portfolio. A consistent channel of meaningful work.
BECOME A CONTRIBUTOR
Fund a Sprint
Put capital behind a focused test, not a vague promise.
Program-Level
Fund A full cohort
Built for banks, foundations, and impact allocators funding a complete sprint cohort who want diversified impact with portfolio-level accountability.
BECOME A CAPITAL PARTNER
Sprint-Level
Back a single sprint
Built for Funds, HNWs, and ESG-mandated capital deploying sub-1% allocations. Invest in defined sprint with a clear timeline and a measurable outcome at the end.

Each mode is different. The standard is the same.
Focused sprints, real-world testing, measurable learning, and evidence strong enough to guide the next decision.

Believe the evidence. Not the process
A sprint is only successful when something changes in the real world. And thats what the evidence proves.
See Ventures Shaped by WIP
Bring the problem. We’ll find the proof.
We work with founders from sharp ideas to product scale-up, always anchored in measurable change.
Start With a Sprint
What partnerships can produce.
A sprint gives capital and expertise somewhere concrete to go. These are examples of what happens when a sprint has measurement built in from day one.

50+ values inventory of the organization mapped and verified against evidence
The sprint consolidated organisation's 50+ activities into a bounded ecosystem view. The sprint mapped stakeholders, value channels, operating realities and pressure points while separating current, emerging and exploratory work. It concluded with three priority areas for deeper verification rather than presenting an untested strategy.

Decision Dashboard
Europe
10 new patients x 3 caregivers signed for shared support daily
Instead of starting from visualisation of available data, we took a step back in the sprint to answer first principle question of what hypothesis need to be proven and user journey loops need to close for the MVP to succeed. Translating the hypothesis into MVP features and capturing data on each interaction which then in turn populated the loops dashboard gave the small and young team of the startup know each actions each of them need to take to "close the broken loops"
Quick feedback and iterations led the startup to go from 3 downloads a week to 10 downloads a daytime.

Circularity Prototype
Europe
70,000 visitorsl, 1530 behavior change instances and 12 stakeholder signups
The sprint translated a broad circularity ambition into a testable circularity tool. Working with energy giant, the team structured component data, user needs and reuse prompts into Rewind: an interactive digital warehouse where designers, builders and innovators can browse decommissioned turbine parts, understand specifications and propose new applications. The Dutch Design Week prototype used guided AI ideation and visualisation to test whether better access and imagination could expand viable reuse pathways.

Support architecture increased success of the next step for each invested venture by 2x
The engagement examined how Fund's in kind support is framed, sequenced and made visible. It separated founder recognition from each venture’s next-stage questions and developed a diagnostic-first route: understand the founder’s current threshold before deciding whether deeper support is appropriate. This created a working basis for future support without fixing one intervention or measurement model for every founder.

Material-Market fit
Europe
81 researched markets translated to 35 contacts and 3 material pilots.
Starting with surplus cow dung as an underused dairy-industry resource, the sprint combined indigenous-material research, scientific experimentation and proposition development. The team tested 16 composite directions, clarified priority applications and built an evidence base for materials that could replace wood, particle board and plastic. The work moved the venture from a material hypothesis toward research partnerships, validated development pathways and a fundable roadmap.
