About RElab

RElab is an ecosystem of entrepreneurs, industry leaders, corporates and investors focused on RE-shaping and RE-imagining the relationships between space, people, services and sustainability.

At its core is the RElab 14-week scale-up programme, which works intensively with founders to validate product-market-fit and accelerate growth. During the programme, start-ups build meaningful relationships with RElab’s committed industry partners and are given opportunities to explore commercial pilots & gain rapid customer feedback.

For the 2021 programme, we are looking to partner with exceptional entrepreneurs exploring innovative solutions that will make our built environment smarter and more sustainable across all asset classes and phases of the project lifecycle.

Chris Bone

CEO

RELab was an incredible experience for Modulous. The programme had such a spread of interesting events, a great cohort and an amazing support structure of subject experts. There were also numerous high-level introductions to an amazing network from industry and investment, and we genuinely feel that the value of our business grew as a direct result of being involved.

Brittany Harris

CEO

RElab has been a fantastic support network for us, being a key facilitator in establishing new pilots and partners. We have benefitted from their vast experience and network, enabling us to successfully secure customers in new market segments, develop new sales strategies and launch an industry- wide data campaign. They have been a brilliant group to work with and we’d highly recommend other businesses to join future cohorts

As one of our co-lead investors, Goldacre has been instrumental in setting a path to scale based around hiring the right talent; strengthening our governance; and an understanding of international markets such as the UK

Matt Norcia

COO

As a North American based team, our RELab experience (which coincided with the Covid pandemic) was a unique one. We were engaged and excited throughout the program, connected to peers and useful advisors, and introduced to new market opportunities we'd never considered. The program, and the relationships we've built as a result of it, are well worth the investment of time, energy and effort.

Martin Zilliacus

COO

We really enjoyed participating in RElab 2020, in both the face-to-face discussions and online sessions. We received valuable advice and support and gained access to a wide network of experts helping us to set our future targets. We definitely recommend RElab for start-ups looking for international expansion.
