Year One Labs is a Lean Startup accelerator. I believe it’s one of the first of its kind, with a very heavy focus on customer development and a rigorous Lean Startup process. I co-founded Year One Labs with three partners (Raymond Luk, Alistair Croll and Ian Rae) in April 2010 and launched officially in September of that year.
Since our launch we’ve co-created and invested in 5 startups (which was our target number). We now work with those startups on a daily basis; they have up to 12 months in Year One Labs to get to product-market fit (or as close to it as possible) and move on to raise additional capital, become self-sufficient, or potentially fail.
