Accelerator
VC Lab is a premier global accelerator powered by Decile Group helping launch 600+ venture capital firms since inception in early 2020. The program guides emerging and new fund managers to launch a net-new venture capital fund in 6 months or less. The 14-week rigorous curriculum covers fund-building, firm administration, compliance, LP closing, deal flow due diligence, and related topics. VC Lab was founded with the mission to change venture capital into a force for good and operates under the Mensarius Oath—an ethical code of conduct for investment professionals. The program provides approximately 25 hours per week of structured work, private webinars, office hours, peer Slack channels, and Demo Day style events to accelerate fundraising. Decile Group estimates VC Lab launched nearly 50% of all new VC firms in 2023.
