Over the past several months entrepreneurs, academics, foundation executives, thought leaders, advisors and investors have participated in Structure Labs across the country.  Those who attend are telling us that the experience helps them feel empowered to leverage structure and relationships to achieve their goals.

Jocelyn Wyatt, Social Innovation Lead, IDEO says, "The Structure Lab leads participants through designing their social ventures in a really unique and enjoyable way. We were able to evaluate different options in terms of legal structure and develop a much clearer understanding of what the implications are of various models. I returned to the office bubbling with information and recommendations to share with colleagues."

What is Structure Lab?

Structure Lab is a day-long experience in which participants explore how corporate structures and hybrid forms can enable or hinder their efforts.  Grounded in a framework that legal structures exist to manage relationships, the system of Structure Lab enables you to navigate new forms - from PRIs to L3Cs - and to sort through dozens of other forms that have been around for decades or centuries.  Participants leave with new tools and perspectives with which they can make better choices about financing, governance, growth, market interaction and exits.
