Transform your ideas to impact

Our Declaration of Collaboration

A structured process for growth-minded entrepreneurs to align, innovate, and succeed together.

The Declaration of Collaboration was created after realizing that one of the biggest challenges for entrepreneurs is the lack of formalized collaboration.

By providing clarity, aligning objectives, and defining success, it creates a structured, growth-focused framework that ensures mutual benefits and measurable outcomes for all collaborators.

Why Declare?

Collaboration without clarity can lead to missed opportunities and misaligned goals.

The Declaration of Collaboration eliminates ambiguity by:

  • Identifying key audiences (Hero Targets).
  • Outlining measurable success metrics.
  • Ensuring equitable allocation of benefits based on contribution.
  • Establishing a foundation for long-term, successful partnerships.

How The Process Works:

With our expertise and the ICM (Identify, Create, Manage) process, we’ll help you uncover opportunities, align with the right collaborators, and formalize your collaboration to maximize impact.

Together with our team and CoLAB Architects, you’ll walk through each step of the Declaration of Collaboration (DOC) process, ensuring every detail aligns with your vision and goals.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Define Your Collaboration:
    Start by naming your collaboration and determining its type. Whether it’s a strategic partnership, joint venture, or growth initiative, this step establishes a clear foundation and purpose for the collaboration.

  2. Discover Shared Value and Define Success:
    Work together to uncover the unique contributions each collaborator brings to the table. Identify the Hero Target, the value being created, and the measurable milestones for success. This step ensures alignment and clarity for achieving shared goals.

  3. Draft the Declaration of Collaboration:
    Our team will guide you through formalizing the DOC. We’ll compile all the essential details—from collaboration goals to success metrics—into a clear, actionable document that represents your shared vision.

  4. Complete and Declare:
    Once both parties have signed the DOC, we will certify the collaboration with the SEEDSPARK stamp of approval. The declaration is then shared with the CoLAB community, celebrating your partnership and inspiring others.
