New Venture (Founder/Team)

First read: How RnD Ventures Works With Startups

RnD Ventures is a research-led venture builder on a mission to empower humane collaboration. We’re a platform where founders and teams investigate real organizational problems, then spin up ventures that plug into a modular product ecosystem. In our first year we supported five autonomous venture teams, ran a dozen+ research initiatives, and grew a 40+ person community of builders across product, research, and go-to-market.

This opening is for a new venture to join our swarm. If you’re exploring collaboration tech (organizational/community tooling) and want to avoid the usual traps, building features instead of solving root causes, battling long B2B cycles without shared motion, then build with us.

How it works: you bring a sharp problem thesis (or early product), founder-market insight, and the will to lead. We compound your efforts with cross-unit research, shared BD and recruitment, fundraising support, and composable products that let ventures co-sell, co-build, and reuse capabilities. The result: faster learning, lower risk, and a clearer path through complex B2B adoption.

What we’re looking for: a founder or small team with a research mindset, evidence of problem pull (early pilots, design-partners, or a strong thesis), and the desire to operate autonomously while collaborating deeply across the RnD Ventures ecosystem. You value rigorous inquiry, modular architectures, and practical GTM in B2B contexts.

What you get: access to our research network, a community of specialist builders, shared GTM channels, talent attraction, and peer ventures to compose with—so you can focus on the highest-leverage work and compound progress.

Apply with: a short note on the problem you want to tackle, who it serves, your current stage/traction, and how RnD Ventures’ swarm model would accelerate you. Remote-friendly; commitment can start part-time and grow as the venture validates.
