Not an accelerator, but an incubator
Launching bold solutions
Mazarine understands that creative brainstorming and strategic planning must eventually lead to execution. Whether through a soft launch or a hard launch, we help companies ensure their entry into the market captures the attention of customers and incumbents alike. For early-stage companies struggling to gain traction, Mazarine Labs provides the resources, expertise, and momentum to re-launch and thrive.
Building new ventures from scratch
Sometimes innovation begins with a clean slate. Drawing on market trends, competitive insights, and a robust network of partners, Mazarine collaborates with partners to transform ideas from universities, garages, and dorm rooms into fully-fledged businesses. Our unique approach enables us to co-create NewCos with founders, corporates, and PE - bringing fresh solutions to water and wastewater challenges.
Refining models for success
Technology is only part of the equation. Within Mazarine Labs we focus on refining business models, crafting go-to-market strategies, and addressing unmet customer needs. By deeply understanding customers, their buying processes, and ways to displace incumbent solutions, we ensure every venture is primed for success in the most attractive beachhead markets. Our philosophy: gain a “PhD in the customer” before stepping into the spotlight.

Private Workbenches
Mazarine maintains workbenches with PE and corporate partners who approach us with specific areas of interest, which results in a private workbench.
​
-
Public workbenches have members from Mazarine’s investor network, venture partners, portfolio companies, and subject matter experts. During workbench workshops, we collectively engage in brainstorming, challenging, and exchanging ideas.
​
-
Private workbenches are confidential, have a more limited scope, and are created jointly with investment syndicate partners or corporates to address a specific need or interest.
If you are interested in participating in a workbench workshop, have ideas for other workbenches, or would like to explore setting up a private workbench, please contact us here.
