Redemptive Frame for Fellows, Faith and Work

What can you expect?

DMV Redemptive Lab Fellows Participants Founders Accelerator

Transformative Content

Founders are introduced to the Redemptive Frame from Praxis, share vision presentations, discuss the content of the Redemptive Playbooks, and synthesize their learnings for personal and venture application. Founders leave the Lab with an understanding of redemptive strategy, operations, and leadership; a series of prototypes to run in their venture; and relationships with peers and mentors for ongoing support. Sessions will include: 

  • Redemptive Frame

    • ​The Redemptive Frame helps define and explore redemptive possibilities in an organizational setting. It overlays the 3 Ways to Build (Exploitative, Ethical, Redemptive) with the 3 Dimensions of Building (Strategy, Operations, Leadership).

  • Redemptive Strategy 

    • Strategy centers on what we build. It's everything the venture does to express mission, serve customers, and create value—in the form of products, services, programs, brands, and even digital and physical experiences. We define Strategy by its cultural impact: “What does this organization do to the world?”

  • Redemptive Operations

    • Operations centers on how we build. It's everything the venture does to develop, support, and deliver the Strategy in the form of culture, financial models, value chains, and partnerships. We define Operations by its people impact: “What does this organization do to its people and partners?”

  • Redemptive Leadership 

    • Leadership centers on why we build. It's the motives, worldviews, imagination, and practices of the leadership team, whose decisions and actions set the course for the venture’s Strategy and Operations. We define Leadership Intent by its success script: “What definition of success are the leaders of the organization living out?

 

Spiritual Formation

We will integrate prayer, teaching, and other shared spiritual practices into the programme so that we grow in faith as we grow in leadership. 

Mentorship

We specially recruit mentors who share our vision of journeying with and supporting each of our founders in their development. They are not only seasoned builders, professionals, and investors themselves, who can guide you with their experiences, but they will seek to care for you as a whole person. Mentors will also attend the kick-off sessions and remain available for contact throughout the course of the accelerator. Peer mentoring will also be a feature of DMV Redemptive Labs, as it’s often fellow founders who have valuable experiences to bring to the table!

FAQ

  • Am I guaranteed investment as a participant?

    Our focus is on holistically developing the entrepreneur and helping entrepreneurs become deeply formed as redemptive leaders who guide their ventures to become more effective, more profitable, and more redemptive in their impact. Participants will have the opportunity to share investment needs during the programme but are not guaranteed investment.

  • Can I apply if I only have an idea for a company?

    At this time, we are only accepting early-stage founders who have built at least a prototype, but do give us a call to share about your idea. Where possible, we’ll be happy to give you feedback and continue to stay in touch, as you continue your journey.

  • Which countries do you accept applications from? 

    We encourage founders from all countries across Southeast Asia to apply! Our Fellows have come from countries such as: Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines, Cambodia, Hong Kong and Japan.

  • How many from my company can attend the programme?

    A maximum of two may attend. The founder should be one of them, but in the absence of co-founder, another key team member attending can also be helpful for thinking through the implementation of takeaways.

  • Do I need to attend every session? Can I take turns with others from my company to attend?

    As each session has been carefully designed to help founders build the right foundations for their companies, we are looking for founders who are able to commit to the whole programme. If you have an unusual situation, please contact us before applying, so that we can advise you appropriately.

  • Does my start-up have to be a digital technology company to apply?

    If you’re not sure your company is “tech” enough, feel free to contact us to clarify.

  • Does my company have to be a “social business” to apply?

    By applying a redemptive framework, we believe all businesses are “social” in that they have to consider the impact their products and services will have on their customers and culture, as well as how they run their business (how they treat their people, how they treat their customers). 

  • Do I need to have been a Christian for a long time to apply?

    We do not equate duration with depth. Instead, we are looking for participants who are teachable, in community with fellow believers, and seeking to integrate their faith with their startup.

  • Do my employees all need to be believers for me to qualify?

    Not necessarily. However, a core of like minded Christians is strongly recommended, as the material can be “paradigm shifting” and journeying together to make changes in your company is important.

  • Are financial scholarships available?

    While we usually encourage all participants to invest in their own growth, do contact us if you are facing unusual challenges and we will consider on a case by case basis.

  • If I’m not sure my company qualifies, can I speak with someone on your team before I apply?

    Most definitely! We welcome enquiries.
