LAB for Creative Thinking takes care of the growth of high potential startups and innovative SMEs in the commercial area, business development and within marketplaces. The idea must be original and offer a new (creative) way of proposing a product / service or in resolving a customer problem. We have a different approach from many other companies in our sector, and will intervene from the earliest stage (pre-seed) with advice, mentoring and support. http://creativethinkingventures.com/
