The LEGACY AND INNOVATION Foundation (KRS 0001188002, Opatów / Warsaw) offers for startup-ecosystem events — including the PARP Future Camp format — an author path from IP protection to social pilot.
Method page: MWP / MVE methodology.
The problem we address
Deep-tech innovators often lack a safe test environment and early references. OECD points to low self-assessed entrepreneurial skills and high fear of failure. A classic isolated MVP does not measure social value at TRL 3–6.
Our answer: Prosocial Validation Methodology (MWP) + Minimum Viable Ecosystem (MVE) — controlled non-commercial pilots with NGOs, local government and universities, then an Impact Report / SROI as evidence for scaling (including B2B/B2G outside the grant region).
How to present it (Future Camp fit)
| Agenda block | Our entry |
|---|---|
| Impact / social enterprises | Talk: Hardware into Heartware — deep-tech + NGO as first validation |
| Economic viability | SROI + Impact Report as a bridge to investors |
| Public capital / founder psychology | De-risk via MVE instead of a “lonely MVP” |
| Brand storytelling / AI-native | Social pilot cases (no commercial client portfolio) |
Deck — 10 slides
- Title — From patent to impact: prosocial validation instead of fear of failure
- Challenge — OECD gap: skills vs fear; missing deep-tech references
- MVE — four streams: knowledge, mentoring, IP, social need
- MWP / 12 steps — Problem → Hypothesis → Prototype → Validation
- IP safety — documentation, purpose licence, UPRP sources (no “monopoly” marketing claim)
- Living lab — licence for NGOs / universities; examples from foundation projects
- SROI — formula + illustrative method example (not a guaranteed result)
- Path to scale — non-commercial phase → B2B/B2G outside the grant region
- Funding — NOWEFIO / PROO, senior programmes, FENG SMART vs TRL
- CTA — statute PDF, contact, apply for a research–deployment licence
Future_Lab workshop (90 min)
Title: 12 steps to social innovation — from IP documentation to an Impact Report
| Minutes | Module |
|---|---|
| 0–10 | Fear of failure + MVE map |
| 10–30 | Exercise: hypothesis + beneficiary personas (not only paying customers) |
| 30–55 | IP in practice: what to document before a pitch; purpose licence vs commercial use |
| 55–75 | Theory of Change sketch + 3 indicators for an Impact Report |
| 75–90 | 60-second pitch + Q&A; invitation to a foundation pilot |
