Reimagining the economy  
through innovation, not intervention

The cost of living keeps rising while opportunity feels harder to reach. Energy, housing, financial systems, and pathways to meaningful work have become more complex, more constrained, and less responsive to the people they are meant to serve.

At Stand Together Ventures Lab, we invest in solutions that make the economy work for people again by expanding supply, reducing costs, and removing barriers to participation, proving that innovation can deliver affordability, access, and opportunity.

What is Economy Progress?

When essentials like housing, energy, financial services, and skills acquisition access become unaffordable or out of reach, people lose faith that empowerment works. Regulation and legacy systems often choke supply, distort pricing, and keep innovators out, limiting choice and opportunity for millions.

We see opportunity in founders who flip that script by scaling models that expand choice, lower costs, and demonstrate that people thrive when markets are free to work.

Our focus is on founders tackling the root causes of affordability and access challenges, including supply constraints, skill barriers, and outdated systems that no longer serve consumers.

Where Are We investing?

We invest early in business models that show how innovation, not intervention, can make life more affordable.

  • Housing and Infrastructure - new delivery and financing models that expand supply, reduce development costs, and make ownership or long-term access attainable for more people.
  • Energy and Resilience - technologies and financing solutions that expand reliable and affordable energy while freeing innovation from regulatory bottlenecks.
  • Financial Services - tools that give people more control over their financial lives through expanding access to savings and wealth-creating opportunities
  • Work and Skills - more efficient and lower cost pathways that connect people to in-demand skills and trusted employment opportunities.
What Are We Exploring?

We are open to models that show market forces can serve people better. We are exploring:

  • New ways to unlock affordable housing at scale
  • Decentralized energy models that make energy abundant
  • Financial innovations that make mobility and wealth generation possible
  • Means to lower the cost of skills acquisition and unlock clear pathways to work

We look for opportunities where consumer demand is growing faster than the market’s ability to serve it.
