After demonstrating a valuable proof of concept, what should be a portfolio company’s next steps? Our InLab program helps high-potential, revenue-generating companies target new customer segments, including the largest government entities and corporate partners in the state. We connect you with new reference customers to help validate your product-market fit and business model, and ultimately achieve sustainable growth on a national level.
Snapshot
The Innovation Lab (“InLab”) is an invitation-only pilot-to-procurement process committed to helping CI portfolio companies grow at scale.TAP INTO CONNECTICUT’S POWERFUL ECOSYSTEM
By tapping into CI’s influential and growing network of state agencies, leading healthcare systems, colleges and universities, and other large employers, we identify strategic partnerships that maximize synergies for both parties. We then fund a metrics-driven pilot-to-procurement process designed to move you from proof of concept to purchase order in less than a year.
In addition to structuring the pilot relationship, we will also help you demonstrate your product to potential customers by quantifying the cost savings, revenue, and risk-reduction or safety-improvement opportunities.
Together, we will work to define your market fit, qualify new leads and formulate your company’s optimal pathway into organizations.
