Measurable Change
World Impact Practice(WIP) works side by side with founders to turn hard problems into focused sprints, tested propositions, and proof they can take to users, partners, and investors.
Founders build it. Investors back it.
Experts sharpen it.
WIP gives each role a clear place inside the sprint. So hard problems move from intent to something real.
What is Studio WIP ?
An impact venture studio built around one simple discipline: build close enough to reality so the proof can talk back.
Sprints with organisations that take impact seriously.
From early stage startups to global institutions , WIP works with those closest to the problem and closest to the change.
Builders, sponsors, partners, researchers connected to WIP sprints .

Proof behind the practice
WIP's ethos and practice is built on years of fieldwork, venture-building, and impact execution across 3 decades of real people, problems, teams, and systems.

Believe the evidence. Not the process
A sprint is only successful when something changes in the real world. And thats what the evidence proves.
See Ventures Shaped by WIP
Bring the problem. We’ll find the proof.
We work with founders from sharp ideas to product scale-up, always anchored in measurable change.
Start With a Sprint
The Sprint Model
One constraint. Four phases. A clear decision at the end.
Locate
We find the real constraint: user behaviour, field context, operating friction, and the outcome worth measuring.
Decision gate
Are we solving a problem that matters enough to build?
Shape
WIP brings the expertise you do not have yet - product, design, engineering, research, and domain knowledge; through our partner network. You make the decisions. We build what needs to be tested.
Decision gate
Are we still solving the right problem?
Confront
You put it in front of real users in real context. WIP sets up feedback loops and impact measurement so you capture what actually matters, not just opinions.
Decision gate
Is it shifting behaviour in the real world?
Resolve
What changed? You leave with evidence you can take to investors, partners, or your next sprint.
Decision gate
What worked, what failed, and what happens next?
The Sprint Model
One constraint. Four phases. A clear decision at the end.
Locate
We strip away the noise to find the uncertainty that matters the most.
Decision gate
What must be true for this to move forward?
Shape
We make the assumptions testable by building the smallest artefact.
Decision gate
What needs to be made real to test?
Confront
We put the artefact against reality to see the validation evidence.
Decision gate
What changed when it met the real world?
Resolve
We turn the learning into a decision of what should be tested next.
Decision gate
What is the evidence telling us to do next?

An ecosystem built for impact execution.
WIP works with practitioners, institutions, studios, and technology partners who help turn ideas into evidence.
Expert Network
Design, technology, research, strategy, operations, and the technology stack helping you sprint.
Institutional & Impact Network
Organisations led by their domains ready to help build your idea into impact.
Their goal is simple: help ideas move faster from problem to proof without losing rigour.

Translated 200+ hours of user interviews into an MCP, refined through four rounds of testing with people closest to the problem.
Tools for neurodivergent users that are intended to improve their mental health can only be built effectively from lived experience. From a broad scope of research, to identifying the most urgent need that the product can address this project evolved to finally building its first minimum capable product in 1 month.

50+ values inventory of the organization mapped and verified against evidence
The sprint consolidated organisation's 50+ activities into a bounded ecosystem view. The sprint mapped stakeholders, value channels, operating realities and pressure points while separating current, emerging and exploratory work. It concluded with three priority areas for deeper verification rather than presenting an untested strategy.

70,000 visitorsl, 1530 behavior change instances and 12 stakeholder signups
The sprint translated a broad circularity ambition into a testable circularity tool. Working with energy giant, the team structured component data, user needs and reuse prompts into Rewind: an interactive digital warehouse where designers, builders and innovators can browse decommissioned turbine parts, understand specifications and propose new applications. The Dutch Design Week prototype used guided AI ideation and visualisation to test whether better access and imagination could expand viable reuse pathways.

Support architecture increased success of the next step for each invested venture by 2x
The engagement examined how Fund's in kind support is framed, sequenced and made visible. It separated founder recognition from each venture’s next-stage questions and developed a diagnostic-first route: understand the founder’s current threshold before deciding whether deeper support is appropriate. This created a working basis for future support without fixing one intervention or measurement model for every founder.

Starting with surplus cow dung as an underused dairy-industry resource, the sprint combined indigenous-material research, scientific experimentation and proposition development. The team tested 16 composite directions, clarified priority applications and built an evidence base for materials that could replace wood, particle board and plastic. The work moved the venture from a material hypothesis toward research partnerships, validated development pathways and a fundable roadmap.
