02 Approach

A proven approach
in three steps

Whether we are backing an existing business or building a new one from a blank page, every opportunity passes through the same disciplined system: scan, evaluate, then design and launch. Each step has its own visual framework. Together, they form the Arvine Labs method.

Step 01
Scan

The Map

Rows are Switzerland's structural strengths. Columns are the global forces reshaping every industry. Each of the 36 intersections is a “terroir cell” — a specific set of conditions in which a venture can take root. Hover any cell to read how the framework sees it.

Step 02
Scope

The Blueprint

Every idea is scored 1–5 across five dimensions and plotted as a five-axis profile, an idea's “character” at a glance. The scores sum to a total out of 25, which maps to a tier and a clear business case. Adjust the profile to see how the verdict shifts.

The Roadmap

A Flagship or Promising profile does not stay on paper. We carry it through five stages, named for the steps that turn a harvest into a finished wine, from selection to a standalone company with its own team.

01
Select

Harvest

The strongest cell from the Map and the highest-tier profile from the Blueprint are committed to the studio for active development.

02
Frame

Press

The core value proposition is extracted into a working MVP, just enough product to test the central hypothesis with real users.

03
Validate

Ferment

The MVP is run under real conditions with early customers and partners, and the business model is iterated until it holds.

04
Design

Raise

A founding team is assembled and the company is structured, legal entity, governance, hiring, and operating rhythm.

05
Launch

Bottle

The venture launches to market under its own name, with the studio supporting fundraising and the handover to a founder-led team.
