The Lean Scaleup new-business building peer group
Helps to pinpoint the status of the corporate venture / the portfolio and the corporate context.
It gives you the actions at the ventures need to get to the next stage of business graduation / the next funding round.
And it details the actions in the corporate context that accelerate and de-risk new-business building.
This is for you, if you…
- lead a business model incubator or accelerator
- are head of a corporate startup / scaleup
- are a corporate stockholder who is concerned about the company’s capability to build new businesses
What you see
- Budgets are getting tighter
- Innovation focus is shifting – More ‘safe bets’ that support Core, more adjacencies than ‘moonshot exploration’
- Less tolerance for ‘innovation theater’ – Innovation is asked to work closer to Core
- Increasing impatience – Discussions about funding the next stage are becoming more difficult
The missing piece
- You are aware of the problem: Your new-business building frameworks do not consistently produce successes
- Lean Startup was never designed for the corporate context – it only generates innovation theater (Steve Blank, ‘father of the Lean Startup’)
- When you speak with your peers from other companies, they tell you it’s the same thing in their companies.
- Your search for the solution: What’s the new perspective that unblocks the situation?
Take the next step now
- The solution is available right now
- It is proven
- Other companies already work with it
There is no time to waste
- Secure the work and the investments that went into what you have built so far
- Create an impact in a changing internal set-up
- Show the organization that transformation is possible
- Leave a mark on your company

Here’s what one of our clients says
My name is Steve Kopp. I lead the Incubation Office of Nexwave, Amadeus’ Business Model Incubator. My team and I are responsible for strategy, governance, operations, portfolio management, investments, marketing, and communications.
We were somewhat happy about the progress of our ventures. The question that kept me up at night was: ”which of these ventures are really worthy to be scaled, and which of those are additionally ready to be scaled?”
I reached out to Frank Mattes, the thought leader in corporate entrepreneurship. Judging by my peer discussions, we now have a best-in class incubation approach.
A proven approach
- You will be in good company.
- Apart from Amadeus, you find companies like Volvo Group, bp, Philips, and Continental on our client list.
- One corporate scaleup achieved 400x growth in 3 years. Its leader says, “If we had the Lean Scaleup toolbox back then, it would have saved us a lot of time and money.”
