Founder Clinic
Describe one real problem. SPLIT LABS reviews it and suggests a next step.
- Who it is for
- Founders with a specific problem, at any stage.
- The problem it addresses
- Not knowing where to start, or which kind of help fits.
- Where it stands
- A first step, not unlimited free consulting. Some requests are honestly declined, and no response time is promised yet.
- How it connects
02 / 06 · In development
The Foundry
Selective venture building and execution support. Paid service work comes first; equity is a separate decision.
- Who it is for
- Founders who need to get from plan to working product.
- The problem it addresses
- Plans and ideas that never become something people can use.
- Where it stands
- The scope of Foundry work and how to engage with it have not been published. Nothing here is an open offer.
- How it connects

Programmes
Eight programmes at different stages, from a four-day orientation to ongoing venture building.
- Who it is for
- Founders at different stages. Eligibility criteria are not yet published.

The Keep
The idea of a physical home for the institution: a place to work, meet and build side by side.
- Who it is for
- Intended for the SPLIT LABS community. Access rules are not published.
- The problem it addresses
- Whether and how the institution's work could happen in person.
- Where it stands

05 / 06 · In development
The Society
A network organised around useful work: asking for something specific, and offering something useful.
- Who it is for
- Founders, specialists and alumni.
- The problem it addresses
- No founder builds alone, yet most do not know who to ask.
- Where it stands
- Membership tiers, prices and community spaces are not published yet. Nothing is open to join.
- How it connects

Partnerships
Choose the kind of partner you are. Each route has its own short enquiry.
- Who it is for
- Property owners, universities and institutions, specialists, industry partners, sponsors and capital partners.
- The problem it addresses
- Better things happen when systems connect.
- Where it stands
- No partnership is announced. An enquiry starts a conversation and creates no agreement.
- How it connects
