Boardroom Labs is an employee-owned innovation consultancy and venture fund. This is our story.

2050 is closer than 1990. The future is arriving faster than most are ready for—driven by AI, climate change, and structural upheaval. Yet 96% of innovation efforts still fail—trapped in misalignment, short-term-ism, and surface-level change.

At Boardroom Labs, we help organizations escape “innovation theatre” and build what truly matters: scalable, sustainable, system-shifting ideas. We spark new possibilities, co-create bold initiatives, and equip teams to turn vision into velocity.

We believe the traditional levers of change—spending, voting, protesting, labor—are no longer enough. So we build. We blend profitability and purpose to shift industries from within—working with (and investing in) the next generation of disruptors shaping the future of Care, Society, Prosperity, Justice, and Infrastructure.
