There are two key points:
Our core focus is B2C and D2C projects, whose business model is associated with huge volumes of traffic: companies that generate traffic or can significantly benefit from it. For more details look here Scope.
Never mind. We are ready to consider B2C and D2C traffic-driven projects from almost any niche.
Not really. We prefer Ukrainian projects because we understand the local market best. However, we are ready to consider projects from other countries.
Definitely Yes, if we are talking about Late Stage program. Maybe, if we're talking about Pre-Seed. As an exception. Definitely not, if we're talking about Seed. Here we want to see a team of at least 5 people.
It won't. However, everything will depend on conditions under which you attracted investments earlier.
Money is the least of what Adventure Lab gives to its portfolio companies. Our team, expertise, business networking, and infrastructure can accelerate business development and help it enter new markets. How much and how fast? - It will be clear after our meeting and identifying the needs of your business. That is possible only after we receive and consider your application.
Does this involve the ability to build MVP (multiple MVP's) that will help the project test key business hypotheses and start making money? If so, everything can be discussed.
However, in general, we are focused on projects that can test the business model as quickly as possible and optimize the technological part during the development of the project.

Yes, if they are in our investment focus. We have a wide networking circle of investors and, if the project is promising, we can run a syndicated round of investments up to $5M.
It highly depends on the project, the amount of investments and the level of our involvement. Usually we claim the following share depending on the stage of the project:

Briefly: due to the fact that we have a non-standard Late Stage program, where we act not as passive investors, but full-time co-founders.
We provide the project with everything that is required for its success: infrastructure, team, expertise, networking and funds, and frequently - a validated business idea.
Thus, protecting our co-founder from the operating routine and letting him to focus on the main thing - building a stable and scalable business with a tangible share

No. You continue to work where it is convenient for you.
This option is provided only for the Late Stage program. But, if you need an office in Kyiv, we will certainly help with the solution to this issue.
We allow this possibility at the Pre-Seed stage as an exception. But, in such situation you must be extremely valuable, as a founder.
We target our Late Stage program on specialists (solo or teams), with a broad expertise in niches that is relevant to our investment focus:
Fairly true. In this case, we have prepared a list of business ideas, which has already been validated by us. You can choose one of the presented ideas or come up with your own, inspired by one of the ideas of Adventures Lab.
Preposition (1 month):
Implementation phase (2-3 months):
Upon confirmation of the project for investment, its Late Stage is considered complete.
This is a normal situation. It is much better to abandon unviable idea in time than investing in the realisation for years, tons of efforts and serious investments.
n such a situation, the founder (team) will be asked to choose another idea from the Adventures Lab backlog to work on
It becomes an independent business. A founder hires own team, rents office, and builds up business processes. We continue to help, but a greater rely on skills and talent of a founder
Everything, as always, depends on the project. But, in general, our internal guidelines are as follows:
Absolutely! But, if you can find a team of people who are willing to work with you to create a new promising business - it will significantly distinguish your application from the rest.
Yes. We will create and develop new business. This will require the full involvement of the founder (or team).
The first months are the most important for any project. Thus, we prefer founders to work side by side with us during this period.
After launching the MVP project (usually within 3-4 months), you will be able to return to your city and continue business development from there.
Our Late Stage program is individual. We accept applications non-stop.
No. The more like-minded people you can bring with you, the more chances your project will have as a business.
