After years of refining our venture-building process through our Innov@te™ methodology, LettsGroup's AI VentureFactory, powered by Innov@te, is available to external ventures. We already have an impressive track record of success and measurable results we've achieved for startups in our ecosystem.

Our Evolution: From Innov@te to AI VentureFactory

The AI VentureFactory represents the culmination of our venture-building expertise, refined across 3 versions of our Innov@te venture building process and used by 15 sector defining tech ventures:

Innov@te Version 1

Our initial version helped launch and scale groundbreaking ventures, including:

• The world's first cryptocurrency with 6.2 million consumers and thousands of business users
• Achieved $15M in revenue within 18 months of market launch
• Became the first international Internet Unicorn from the UK
• Secured $80M in funding from leading VCs in the US and Europe
• Acquired by what was then the largest private US conglomerate

 Innov@te Version 2

Our second version powered several innovative companies:

• One of the first mobile software companies developing smartphone app stores and phone-top systems (pre-iPhone)
• Adopted by major mobile operators worldwide including 3 (UK), Telefonica (Spain), and Telstra (Australia)
• Raised $35M from prominent UK and European VCs
• Sold to Fujitsu for approaching $100M
• Innov@te Version 2 also powered one of the first creative services marketplaces with over 75,000 suppliers and buyers
• Reached a peak valuation of $400M before being taken private and acquired

Innov@te Version 3: The AI VentureFactory

Over the last few years we've been developing our next-generation platform, the AI VentureFactory. The results to date have been quite remarkable:

• Helped start and build 5 branded ventures from idea to seed stage in less than 3 years
• All ventures now live in their respective markets with industry changing hi-tech platforms
• Some are already generating early revenues
• A growing number of new startups have adopted the VentureFactory since we launched to external ventures in June 2025
• Recently we launched an investor dashboard for VCs, Accelerators and Angels
