WHAT ARE WE
LOOKING FOR?
STAGE
Pre-seed and Seed
TYPE OF COMPANIES
High growth technology companies that are shaping the physical world, with impressive metrics or with clear opportunities for growth in the market. Companies that have the potential to scale globally and solve large sector wide challenges. Notably, companies that will clearly benefit from Pi Labs’ support in exploring their expansion into the European market.
GEOGRAPHIES
Europe feels like home to us, but we’re now actively investing further afield in North America, Asia, and Israel (to name a few), particularly companies with the potential to scale their activities globally.

THEME
We’re looking to partner with companies innovating the way we live, own, work, build, move and experience. That may sound like quite an all encompassing definition — but it’s meant to. We pride ourselves on looking at our sector with a broad lens, while still maintaining our vertical expertise. So we’d encourage you to apply even if you don’t think you fit into the traditional ‘proptech’ definition.

COMMITTEE
OFFER
APPLICATION
This is your opportunity to highlight your past achievements and convince us that you’re a great candidate for the next Pi Labs Growth Programme. We only hold one programme each year, so make your application count!
INTERVIEW
Approximately 25% of companies that apply go on to be interviewed. We’ll offer you more details about the interview process if your application is successful.
INVESTIGATION
If you pass the interview round, our investment team will conduct extensive Due Diligence on your company. They’ll analyse the problem you’re trying to solve, the technology you’re harnessing, your team’s profile, your target market size and your suitability to the Pi Labs portfolio.
COMMITTEE
Once we’ve successfully completed our Due Diligence, your startup will be presented to the Pi Labs Investment Committee for manager approval along with a selection of other companies. The Investment Committee will make the final decision on the upcoming cohort.
OFFER
If you’re offered a spot on the programme, it’s time to start preparing for an intensive period of reflection, transformation, growth and fun!
ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
Our 12-week programme provides participating founders with access to everything from investment, strategic support, customers, investors and more, culminating in our annual Demo Day, in front of an audience of VCs, angels, and potential clients

why APPLY?
Choosing a programme can be confusing, and we always encourage founders to determine what would be most helpful to you at the stage of your company journey. In terms of what our programme can offer you, there are three key pillars.
STRATEGIC SUPPORT
This is an overarching goal of the programme. We start the strategic support by hand-picking the most relevant mentors for each of our teams, based on their industry, stage and needs and have weekly workshops that are tailored to the needs of the cohort and made as relevant as possible.
ACCESS TO CUSTOMERS
This takes place half-way through the programme and is one of the most crucial aspects. Based on an initial target list from each company, we look within our own ecosystems and those of our partners, and start individually introducing each team to relevant customers.
ACCESS TO INVESTORS
Similar to the customer exercise, this is a completely individual engagement, where we match the best investors. Even if you wouldn’t be looking to fundraise on the back of the programme, we would still look to introduce you to relevant investors that could come in your next round.
