Pittsburgh Redemptive Entrepreneurship Labs are 2-day curated events where like-minded founders and mentors explore what it looks like to build a redemptive venture. The Redemptive Lab experience is designed for founders’ specific needs and opportunities — generating experience-based insights and discussions about how to apply the REDEMPTIVE FRAME to what we build, how we build, and why we build, sharing vision presentations, and getting 1:1 mentoring from experienced venture builders. After the Lab, founders will leave with fresh ideas, practical tools, new relationships, and critical feedback from peers and mentors.
Redemptive Labs are designed by Praxis and hosted locally by a licensed Labs Team who seeks to actively cultivate a venture-building ecosystem in their city.
We are looking to build an active community of venture builders with a redemptive imagination in Pittsburgh. Each Redemptive Lab needs a mix of founders, mentors, funders, and team members (who help host the experience).
So whether you are a founder who might want to go through a Redemptive Lab, a funder interested in supporting, an experienced venture builder interested in mentoring, or a builder interested in helping put on the Lab, we’d love to hear from you via our CONTACT FORM.
We look for founders who are leading ventures/organizations that are:
-
Early-stage, ideally within first 5 years of operations
-
Post-hunch, actively pursuing traction and growth in what they are building
-
Ideally designing an innovative solution in their sector
-
Aiming to pursue their mission through a scalable model and redemptive approach
-
Businesses OR Nonprofits — While our first Lab will be designed to serve commercial ventures, there are different types of Labs that serve both businesses and nonprofits.
Led by serious Christians who are:
-
Aiming to embody the gospel through a redemptive venture
-
Humble and teachable, with a passion for excellence
-
Seeking an accountable community to grow together in faith and supporting one another’s ventures
-
Lead decision makers of their venture and (ideally) working full-time on the venture
