Are you ready to build a globally impactful company? Join us and create a venture-scale startup that leverages emerging technologies to build a food system that works for all current and future life on earth.

Counterfactual is a venture studio on a mission to help the world's most talented people build venture-scale startups that create a more sustainable, humane, and secure future of food. We synthesize insights across the protein value chain to identify and anticipate high-potential whitespace, then support exceptional scientists, technologists, operators and entrepreneurs (like you?) in building startups around our market and technology bets. CFV’s world-class team brings together diverse R&D, entrepreneurial and talent development expertise, with backgrounds across Founders Forum, Intellectual Ventures, L’Oreal, Microsoft, FoodX, Entrepreneur First, NASA, and Cambridge. 

We offer a maximally supportive environment in which to launch a startup, whether you’re transitioning out of academia, industry or are a repeat founder. Through our programme you’ll:

• Enter a collaborative process with the venture studio to turn one of our high-potential company concepts into a startup you’re uniquely positioned to build.

Application

Our application process is designed to get a sense of your goals and determine what type of company you’re uniquely positioned to build.  If your potential and commitment to the Counterfactual mission checks out, but we are unable to place you with a concept for an upcoming cohort, you’ll be invited to explore future opportunities in our cofounder pool. 

Formation

Healthy team dynamics and founder-solution fit are critical to a startup’s success. The goal of formation is to build strong founding teams that are exceptionally well-placed to solve the problem they are working on. You’ll enter a period of co-development and validation with the venture studio based on one of our company concepts. This is also when we help shortlisted candidates match with their co-founder(s).  If your team makes it to the end of formation, we’ll work with you to refine your pitch for the incubator. 

Incubation

Following a successful pitch, you and your co-founder(s) enter a tailored incubation programme designed to accelerate your market and investment-readiness. We incubate around 8 companies every six months, providing $300k in pre-seed capital, hands-on mentorship, essential turnkey services and tailored support for you and your team. 

Why should you join? 

• Be a part of revolutionizing the food system. As a founder in the Counterfactual portfolio, you’ll be part of an entrepreneurial network architecting a climate-positive, humane, just and secure global food system serving all current and future life on earth.

• You don’t need an ideato join. Bring your passion, grit, and relevant skills — we’ll help you identify the most high-impact startup opportunity you could be working on.
