▶ For corporates and scale-ups with an idea to prove
Venture builder and innovation lead.
A venture builder takes an idea from a slide to evidence from the market: who buys, at what price, through which channel. Here that is one person, Joris van Huët, who runs the sprint and does the work. 53 ventures so far. From EUR 5,000 a month for a sprint of 2 to 6 weeks, with a 30-day exit clause.

Nederlands? Venture builder en innovatie
▶ When I'm brought in
Ideas that need proof, not another deck.
- A new product line
- Several concepts and one launch slot. Test them in the market before the factory, the agency or the board commits to one.
- A corporate venture
- A new business inside a large company that has to be validated, then handed to the team that will run it.
- A new market
- A country or a segment entered from zero foothold, where nobody knows yet which message or channel works.
- Innovation stuck in slides
- Workshops, decks and pilots, and nothing a customer has paid for yet.
▶ How the work runs
From idea to evidence.
- Design sprint
- Five days from the problem to a prototype tested with real customers, when the question is what to build.
- Smoke tests
- Live pages and paid traffic that measure demand before anything is built. That is how 128 product variations were tested in 45 days for P&G.
- Market proof
- The deliverable is evidence: who responded, at what price, through which channel, and what to build next.
- Hand-back
- The venture goes to the team that will run it, with the system documented. At BNP Paribas that took four months.
