Venture Development

You Have More Than an Idea. Now Test Whether It Can Become a Venture

CIH Venture Development is for founders and teams who have identified a real problem, developed a possible solution and gathered some early evidence that the problem matters. We help selected ventures test their assumptions, strengthen their product and understand what needs to happen next before they invest heavily in growth.

Is Venture Development Right for You?

This pathway is designed for ventures that have moved beyond the idea stage.

You may be ready if you can say yes to most of these:

  • I can clearly explain the problem.
  • I know who experiences the problem.
  • I have spoken with potential users or customers.
  • I have a concept, prototype or early solution.
  • I have received some feedback.
  • I want to test whether the solution can become sustainable.

If you only have an idea and have not yet tested the problem, start with Build an Idea.

Build an Idea

Three Innovation Pathways. One Clear Starting Point.

Build an Idea
