01 — ABOUT

A collaborative lab for technology and early-stage ventures.

404 Kangaroo Lab brings together researchers, engineers, designers, and industry practitioners. We help curious, hands-on people find collaborators, form teams around real problems, and turn ideas into projects that can be demonstrated, tested, and developed further.

02 — WHAT WE DO

Support for builders.

01

Find your people

Help capable, curious people discover one another and stay involved. Find people who want to build with you.

02

Find complementary partners

Connect complementary skills, turn shared interests into real collaboration, and help teams find their missing piece.

03

Make something real

Define the problem, roles, and rhythm. Build prototypes and gather practical feedback to put ideas to the test.

04

Connect with opportunity

Based on each project's needs and the team's wishes, help connect with customers, industry partners, mentors, and investment resources.

03 — HOW WE WORK

From prototype to validation.

4weeks

Build a working prototype.

Create an initial demonstration or prototype, so the conversation has something real to work with.

4months

Validate the project with real feedback.

Evaluate the project's potential over four months from the start. Continue, change direction, or close the exploration.

This is our default rhythm. Teams working on complex projects may agree on different milestones.

04 — SHARED PRINCIPLES

How we collaborate.

Participate by choice. Commit with clarity.

Choose the projects you join. Agree on goals, responsibilities, roles, and commitments before starting, and respect each other's time and choices.

Respect contributions. Agree on rights.

Respect each person's knowledge, ideas, and contributions. For commercial projects, agree in writing on ownership, use, and related rights in advance.

Share openly. Protect trust.

Welcome different backgrounds and perspectives while protecting confidential information. Respect participants' wishes in project showcases, external communications, and introductions.
