The SHIFT Forward Center - Venture Studio is a venture-building studio that incubates businesses and strives to create an entire community for innovation and value creation. Its competitive edge lies in innovation, sustainability, and community engagement. The centre will host a venture studio which will incubate 9 ventures per cohort. Similar to how we take a 10-40% stake in our ventures, the franchisee can also take a stake in the ventures they incubate in their centre. The venture studio makes money through the venture it invests in. Our target audience for the venture studio is women entrepreneurs, rural entrepreneurs, and forward-thinking entrepreneurs. Investing in the franchise offers an innovative concept, strong brand identity, proven success, growth potential, and community impact. The space requirement is huge as the ultimate plan is to create an entire centre with retail spaces where multiple businesses that our centre incubates can operate as well. More details on the land use can be viewed in the attached document. The owner of this business has registered the company in Houston, Texas, USA. However, both the current operating studios are in Uganda.

In 1999, Gerhard Kolflaath, the founder of Vabene, developed the concept in Sweden and Italy, Vabene’s mission was simple; to bridge the gap between Italian quality manufacturers and the Swedish market. Vabene has been developed in close cooperation with Italian producers and supplies products wherever Vabene established itself. Initial production began in two factories serving kitchens and bathrooms. Vabene has now expanded worldwide working as a single-source turnkey supplier for all your Italian interior products and services in one convenient location, with 28 affiliated factories. Our representation of strong Italian producers, some of which have been operating for over 50 years, gives us a commanding position in the market. The Vabene brand today consists of two concepts: Vabene Casa, the flagship store that retails: Kitchen, Bath and furniture but also a range of design services. Vabene casa is generally around 800-1000 Sq. M. the second brand in the portfolio is Vabene itself which concentrates on kitchen and bathroom space requirements 300-500 Sq. M. Our customers beyond end-consumers include: Interior designers, Architects, fit-out companies and property developers, and the suppliers within the Vabene network are geared for large projects such as Hotels, Large mansions and large residential projects. In terms of positioning, Hacker is the brand that price-wise comes closest to Vabene, but Vabene has a larger range. Vabene is a no-royalty franchise model, with high margins and great expansion potential. No stock is maintained as the products are all produced based on customer requirements. The projected figures have been achieved in the other stores currently operating for the business & the same is expected to be replicated in the franchises as well. I am an advisor for the business but will not charge any success or upfront fee.
