Venture Sprint
Rapid validation for high-stakes initiatives
What it delivers
A focused, fixed-scope engagement to validate or kill an idea early, before significant investment, political capital, or organisational inertia accumulate. This model is designed to compress uncertainty and produce decision-grade clarity.
Typical enterprise sprint themes
- New digital product or platform concepts
- Agent-native or AI-mediated experiences
- Loyalty, identity, or payments innovation
- Internal ventures or spin-outs
- Zero-UI or protocol-level experience models
Engagement structure
- 4-6 weeks, fixed scope
- Intensive workshops + synthesis
- Minimal ceremony, executive-level outputs
- Clear go / no-go / reframe decision at the end
Commercial logic
- Pricing model: Fixed fee, fixed scope
- Typical range: €25k-€45k per sprint
- Budget category: Innovation / Capex discovery
- Procurement complexity: Medium-low (project-based)
Risk profile
- Delivery risk: Low (time-boxed, controlled scope)
- Organisational risk: Low (no long-term commitment)
- Financial risk: Capped upfront
- Value risk: Very low; explicit decision outcome guaranteed
Best suited for: Enterprises that want to test bold ideas responsibly, without launching multi-year programmes prematurely.
How enterprises typically use this model
Venture Sprint -> Advisory Retainer
Validate the opportunity, then guide execution at board and leadership level.
These models are deliberately modular, allowing organisations to increase or reduce commitment without losing continuity or institutional knowledge.
