"We couldn't be happier with this partnership - Allows our portfolio companies to move fast with technical support."
Shyam Lal
Co-Founder & COO

Accelerators compress months of validation into weeks. Founders frequently need a technical partner who can quickly translate ideas into testable product, while keeping scope lean enough for demo day timelines.

Problem: Portfolio founders often struggle with:

  • Turning a pitch into a build plan (features vs. experiments)
  • Shipping something stable enough to demo under time pressure
  • Making engineering decisions without a senior technical leader in-house

Solution: Horizon Labs supported the program by helping founders define MVP scope, de-risk core technical decisions, and accelerate early builds where execution capacity was the bottleneck. The emphasis was on “demo-ready + extensible,” not throwaway prototypes.

Outcome:

  • Faster MVP timelines for participating teams
  • Clearer MVP scope and prioritization
  • Reduced technical risk through senior guidance early

Implemented Support:

  • MVP scoping workshops
  • Technical architecture guidance
  • Rapid prototyping
  • Deployment readiness for demos
