Lilalab’s Incubator
Six guidelines for designing “a program that gets entrepreneurs”
From January to October 2025, Lilalab carried out its largest program to date — the Lilalab Incubator for Heartful Entrepreneurs. The main goal was to pilot an entrepreneurship education program focused on the growth of the entrepreneur rather than (only) their idea.
During the program’s evaluation, the organizing team reflected on what we had learned and which guiding principles we had followed. Our intention was to share these insights with the wider community — to make it easier for other organizers of similar entrepreneurship programs.
The guiding principles cover six areas: Perspective, Learning, Community, Space, Resources, and Impact.
