Focus statement

Aberdeen Labs focuses on value-add technology investments in 'select high-potential startups' and uses technology, operational services, advisory capabilities, and capital to commercialize innovation and scale portfolio companies.

Value Add

  • Multiple partnership models: they explicitly offer three engagement models (Equity, Options, Capital) rather than a single funding approach, allowing flexibility to fit a startup's needs.
  • Service-for-equity approach: they provide technology and operational services in exchange for equity ('Aberdeen Labs takes an equity stake in the startup in exchange for technology and operational services').
  • Options-for-advisory-shares mechanism: they 'issue options for technology and operations services to startups which can be redeemed in exchange for advisory shares'—a non-standard structure that converts services into equity-based advisory compensation.
  • Follow-on capital for scaling: they will 'take an additional equity stake in a high performing portfolio company that needs a capital infusion to scale', indicating willingness to double down on winners.
