We Incubate Founders, Build Operators Into CEOs, and Scale Companies from $0 → $10K → $100K MRR.
The fastest way to become a founder is to learn directly from one who has built and exited multiple companies. I mentor operators 1–on–1, help them build and scale real businesses, and then invest in the top performers.

Josh's CV
Josh's CV
I’ve spent the last nine years building companies the hard way — four of them were acquired across proptech, healthtech, biomed, and multifamily ($225M ACV). I’m now focused on building my next venture, Trikin Holdings, while incubating a small group of entrepreneurs who want to learn how to operate, scale, and build real acquisition-worthy businesses—from zero to $10K MRR and from $10K to $100K MRR.

Frequently asked questions
Still have questions?
Who is Operator Lab for?
Operator Lab is designed for high-performing operators who want to transition into founders and build real, revenue-producing businesses with hands-on guidance—not courses or theory.
How is this different from a traditional accelerator?
Unlike accelerators that provide content and community, Operator Lab is founder-led and execution-driven. You work directly with a multi-exit founder to build, validate, and scale a business in real time.
Do I need a business idea before applying?
No. Many accepted operators arrive with no idea or multiple ideas. The program helps you choose the right market, model, and offer before you begin building.
How much time does the incubator require each week?
Most operators commit 8–12 focused hours per week. The emphasis is on clarity, execution, and building systems that compound—not busywork.
What happens if my business gains traction?
Founders who demonstrate meaningful traction become eligible for selective investment, equity partnerships, and long-term advisory support.
Is this a fit if I’ve already started my business?
Yes. Many founders join at early traction stages ($0–$20K MRR). The incubator accelerates acquisition, systems, and scale to reach $100K MRR and beyond.
