    The Evoluter Incubator

  • The Evoluter Incubator is designed to build the startups of the future.

    The incubator is for everyone who wants to work in a startup; whether as a founder, co-founder, team member; for early-stage startups, and of course, we welcome people wanting to transform their existing companies.

    The 3 Pillars of the Adaptive Organisation

    FairShares Commons Business Model Design

    The startup team designs & develops an all-capitals, all-stakeholders business model canvas, which then becomes the basis for incorporating the company to multiply all capitals, not just financial capital. This takes the startup through to having a business model validated with all of the stakeholders involved, and all of the capitals that the regenerative business touches.

    This process takes at least three months, where participants complete 2 to 3 design sprints, developing hypotheses and testing them. Modules include: Business Model Canvas, Legal & IP, Financial Planning - Ergodic Strategies.

    In parallel, the startup team lays the foundations for ongoing operations.

    Governance & Organisation design

    Startup teams will become proficient in using the latest approaches to working together, including consent / integrative decision-making, functional versus management accountability hierarchies, and agile, delegated, fluid roles. The basis is Sociocracy and Holacracy.

     

    Participants, in facilitated workshops, will have proficiency in reaching rapid, efficient decisions that take into account all understanding from everyone in the team; in how to structure organisations as functional, human accountability hierarchies, So that the startups working processes can change faster than their changing business environment demands. This minimises the risk of startup failure caused by slow reactions, and information on opportunities and risks not reaching decision-makers in time. Companies using these processes consistently outperform their peers.

    Human development & interaction processes

    This is an intense, transformational process of self and team development. Participants, in live Dojo sessions, get to work on their inner and relational capacity to adapt and grow their socio-emotional, as well as cognitive capacity. By applying the Adaptive Way peer to peer developmental dialogue patterns in a safe space, you'll grow your capacity to be well equipped when conflict emerges and transform these tensions into strengths and personal growth.

     

    In particular, participants develop proficiency in using nonviolent communication, Kegan’s Immunity to Change processes, and the systems thinking elements of the 28 post logical thought forms.

    Even if a startup team or individual only progresses to the end of this 3 month programme, but does not incorporate, they will have gained personal skills they will use for the rest of their life.

     

    These human interactivity processes are designed to minimise the risk of human energy being wasted on internal friction, so that all the available energy goes into delivering impact. Companies using these processes are becoming recognised as consistently outperforming their peers (e.g. Bridgwater).

  • The Evoluter Incubator is for you if:

    • You are committed to building a successful business that regenerates the planet and society, delivers healthy profit, self-development, and uses the best regenerative approach to incorporating and running a business, as laid out in our coursebook Rebuild: the Economy, Leadership, and You.
    • You are driven by creating a thriving company that regenerates all the capitals it touches, and becomes part of an ecosystem, not just making a quick buck through a quick exit, at the expense of everything that's giving you life.
    • You embrace working in a startup as a challenge you will grow from.
  • Take the first step to building your regenerative startup

    These Startups are:

     

    Living Organisations

     

    We need living, adaptive organisations that move at the speed of change because they are self-organising, with fluid hierarchies led by the best person in that moment to do that job. Living organisations are antifragile, adapting to changing opportunities and shocks. This means harnessing conflict as hard data on where to grow next.

     

    And they create connected, regenerative Business Ecosystems

     

    In a regenerative economy, business generates a healthy profit. If you incorporate as a FairShares Commons, your organisation regenerates not only financial profit, but nature, society, and each individual working in the business grows. A regenerative economy includes profitably everything in a circular economy, triple bottom line, impact, etc. Companies with strong environmental, social, and governance norms recorded higher performance and credit ratings through five factors: top-line growth, lower costs, fewer legal and regulatory interventions, higher productivity, and optimized investment and asset utilization. Connect all these startups by sharing governance and profits, creating a multi-capital pool of shared resources, and you get a powerful and regenerative business ecosystem that has 20x the impact than any one conglomerate could ever have.

  • Key outcomes

    What you'll accomplish

    Since solo entrepreneurs and teams come into the Evoluter Incubator at different points in the early stages, the bar for completing the programme will vary per individual. At the very least, each person completes the programme with the following:

     

    1. Validated Business Model

    2. Well-Formed and developing core team

    3. Network of Experienced Entrepreneurs, Investors and Mentors

    4. Significant Startup Progress

    5. Progress on Human Interaction Processes

    6. How to orgranise yourself and your company fit for the future of work

    7. Have a clear understanding of what it takes to shift to a stakeholder economy

    8. Investment ready Pitch Deck

    9. Clear & Actionable Next Steps for Growth

     

    By the end of the Incubator's core programme, you will have incorporated as a FairShares Commons company with the most powerful approaches available to deliver top level regenerative business results and each person growing themselves as human beings.

    What's next

    Upon completion of the Incubator's core programme, the Evoluter Accelerator begins after the startup has incorporated, validated its business plan, and is investment ready. Ideally the startup has investment already, or has at least sufficient runway to close the first investment round. The accelerator phase typically lasts six months, until the startup is running stably and ready to become a full member of the ecosystem of regenerative startups.

  • How it works

    The three stages of our Startup Factory
     
    1

    Get ready

    We offer various ways for you to get ready. Our flagship pre-programme workshop starts you on your journey into startups, and a taste of the benefits to you of our approach. You will get an insight into the power of building companies in all three dimensions of the diagram above. We offer a virtual 5 week version of this program primarily for people who are working full-time, or fully occupied as parents, and need more flexibility; or as 3 consecutive full days. This programme is ideal for testing the waters of startup life before committing. It can be followed by our Foundation programme, and programmes to discover what you really want in life, how to lift the anchors holding you back, and accompany your personal change journey.

    Startup University

    (Core program)

    The core program comprises 3 parts typically lasting 3 months (full-time).

    1) Adaptive Organisation Methodology (FairShares Commons incorporation, sociocracy or Holacracy, and our Adaptive Way peer-to-peer human interaction process)

    2) along with a series of design sprints (HCD) to build each startup and the whole ecosystem

    3) all of the usual elements, such as marketing, sales and finance.

    Startup Accelerator

    The accelerator phase begins after the startup has incorporated, validated its business plan and fit to the overall economic plan of the larger ecosystem, and is investment ready. In the accelerator you get all of the typical programmes to grow a healthy startup, + deepening of your practice of our Adaptive Organisation Methodology, + use of our HX Platform, all building on the strength of being part of the coherent economic model of the whole ecosystem. The accelerator phase typically lasts six months, until the startup is running stably and ready to become a full member of the ecosystem of regenerative startups.

    The foundations of FairShares Commons

     

    The incorporation is the foundation for any viable regenerative or circular economy, because it can build connected ecosystems based on economic models, not just disconnected portfolios of multiple business models. Integrity of purpose and principles, and benefit for all, are hardwired in, because all stakeholders govern and benefit from success, not just the investors. A FairShares Commons is required to get to Level 5 in the organisation and human axes as well.

     

    In a FairShares Commons company, all stakeholders share the power to govern the company and the wealth generated. So all stakeholders work together to find a way of meeting all needs, including those of society and the planet. Add in freedom from any concept of property, where the company and its people cannot be bought or sold, and insure that stakeholders are stewards of the company in the interests of future generations, and you get a FairShares Commons.
