Calling Strategic Directors, Venture Partners, and Studio Leadership

Klabs Ventures Studio is building a venture studio for founders, operators, investors, institutions, and emerging market builders who are working on practical technology ventures with global potential.

We believe the next generation of valuable companies will come from real problems, overlooked markets, under-digitized industries, and founders who understand operational pain points deeply but need stronger product, commercial, technical, and capital-readiness infrastructure to build scalable companies.

KLABS exists to close that gap.

Our focus is simple: build, validate, and accelerate practical technology ventures across artificial intelligence, enterprise software, hardtech, commercial infrastructure, informal economy systems, and emerging markets.

We are now forming our strategic leadership network across three key groups:

Strategic Directors Venture Partners Studio Leadership

This group will help shape the direction of KLABS, support portfolio ventures, open strategic doors, and build the foundation for a serious venture studio platform.

Why We Are Building KLABS

Many founders have strong ideas but lack the structure to turn those ideas into investable companies.

Many institutions have access to research, talent, markets, and innovation programs but lack a dedicated venture-building engine.

Many emerging markets have real problems, strong operators, and commercial opportunities, but the ecosystem support is often fragmented.

KLABS is designed to bring these pieces together.

We are not building a traditional accelerator. We are not building a consulting firm. We are not building a passive investment group.

KLABS is a product venture studio.

We help move ventures from idea to validation, from validation to product, from product to traction, and from traction to investment readiness.

Our Venture Focus

KLABS is focused on practical technology companies in areas where the problems are real, the markets are underserved, and the opportunity for scale is clear.

Our focus areas include:

Artificial Intelligence & Automation AI tools, workflow automation, operational intelligence, business productivity systems, and AI-enabled enterprise solutions.

Enterprise Software & Commercial Infrastructure Platforms that help businesses manage operations, customers, compliance, procurement, reporting, data, and internal workflows.

HardTech, DeepTech & Product Commercialization Ventures that connect technical products, suppliers, research, devices, hardware, and software into commercially viable companies.

Informal Economy Infrastructure Tools that help informal businesses, vendors, workers, and micro-enterprises become more visible, trusted, financeable, and connected to formal opportunities.

Emerging Market Technology Ventures Companies built around infrastructure gaps, trust gaps, data gaps, access gaps, and commercial inefficiencies across Canada, Africa, Qatar, the GCC, and diaspora-linked markets.

Strategic Directors

KLABS is seeking senior leaders, investors, operators, ecosystem builders, academics, executives, and institutional partners to serve as Strategic Directors.

Strategic Directors are not day-to-day employees. They are senior external leaders who provide guidance, credibility, market access, introductions, and strategic insight.

We are looking for Strategic Directors across:

• venture capital and angel investment;

• Qatar and GCC innovation ecosystems;

• Africa and emerging market expansion;

• deeptech and hardtech commercialization;

• enterprise and government partnerships;

• university and research commercialization;

• legal, governance, and capital formation;

• AI, automation, and commercial infrastructure.

Strategic Directors will help KLABS make stronger decisions, build institutional credibility, and support selected ventures where their experience is directly relevant.

This role is ideal for experienced leaders who want to contribute to venture creation without taking on a full-time operating position.

Venture Partners

KLABS is also building a network of Venture Partners.

Venture Partners are builders, operators, investors, advisors, and market specialists who help source, validate, support, and grow ventures.

We are looking for Venture Partners across:

• AI and automation;

• enterprise software;

• hardtech and IoT;

• informal economy infrastructure;

• commercial data and intelligence;

• founder growth;

• capital strategy;

• Ghana and Africa expansion;

• Qatar and GCC market access;

• enterprise partnerships;

• sales, growth, and go-to-market execution.

Venture Partners may support KLABS through founder sourcing, customer discovery, product validation, investor introductions, strategic partnerships, portfolio support, or venture-specific execution.

Some Venture Partners may work across the studio. Others may support one specific venture where their expertise is highly aligned.

The goal is to build a serious operator network around KLABS and its portfolio companies.

Studio Leadership

KLABS is also looking for core studio leaders who can help build the operating engine of the venture studio.

This includes roles across:

Studio Operations Running the internal venture-building process, founder intake, venture pipeline, reporting, documentation, and execution rhythm.

Venture Building Working directly with founders and ideas to validate markets, shape business models, define MVPs, and prepare ventures for launch.

Product & Technology Supporting product strategy, MVP development, technical planning, AI implementation, software architecture, and build execution.

Growth & Partnerships Building founder pipelines, partner relationships, institutional relationships, investor networks, and early customer opportunities.

Investment & Fundraising Readiness Preparing pitch decks, financial models, investor materials, data rooms, funding strategies, and venture capital readiness.

Brand, Content & Community Building the public voice of KLABS, founder stories, venture updates, ecosystem campaigns, and community engagement.

Studio Leadership is for people who want to actively help build KLABS from the inside.

These roles may begin as part-time, advisory, contractor-based, success-based, venture-specific, or full-time depending on fit, contribution, and stage.

Who We Are Looking For

KLABS is looking for people who are practical, strategic, execution-focused, and comfortable building from the ground up.

We are especially interested in people who have experience in:

• venture building;

• startup operations;

• investing;

• product development;

• software and AI;

• enterprise sales;

• founder coaching;

• government or institutional partnerships;

• accelerators and incubators;

• emerging markets;

• research commercialization;

• hardtech and deeptech;

• business development;

• capital formation.

We are not looking for titles only.

We are looking for people who can bring judgment, credibility, execution, network access, and real strategic value.

How KLABS Works With Leaders

KLABS may work with Strategic Directors, Venture Partners, and Studio Leaders through different structures depending on the role and contribution.

This may include:

• advisory roles;

• venture-specific participation;

• success-based compensation;

• studio equity;

• venture-level equity;

• project-based agreements;

• partnership agreements;

• revenue-share structures;

• future full-time leadership roles.

Every engagement will be clearly defined, documented, and aligned with the level of contribution.

KLABS believes upside should be connected to real value creation.

Why Join KLABS Now

KLABS is at the early formation stage, which means the right people can help shape the foundation before the platform becomes fully built.

This is an opportunity to help design a venture studio from the ground up.

It is an opportunity to support founders who need more than advice.

It is an opportunity to connect Canada, Africa, Qatar, the GCC, and emerging markets through practical venture building.

It is an opportunity to help turn overlooked problems into scalable technology companies.

KLABS is building for long-term venture creation, not short-term noise.

Our Long-Term Vision

KLABS Venture Studios aims to become a global venture-building platform for practical technology companies.

We want to build ventures that solve real problems, serve real users, create commercial value, and become credible to investors, institutions, and global markets.

We are building for founders. We are building for operators. We are building for institutions. We are building for overlooked markets. We are building for global execution.

KLABS is engineered for global velocity.

Building a youth innovation pathway across research, entrepreneurship, technology, and future-ready learning.

Klabs Venture Studios is pleased to announce its collaboration with Times Group Institute, a partnership designed to support youth innovation, applied research, entrepreneurship, and career-focused learning.

This collaboration brings together Klabs’ venture-building and innovation execution model with Times Group Institute’s mission of helping young people bridge the transition between education and career success. Times Group Institute describes its work around closing that education-to-career gap, with a focus on helping students explore career paths and prepare for life after school.

Through this partnership, Klabs and Times Group Institute will work toward building practical learning experiences for young people across junior high school, senior high school, and university-level cohorts. The goal is to expose students to innovation thinking, research methods, entrepreneurship, digital skills, technology development, and real-world problem-solving.

At Klabs, we believe ideas become valuable when they are structured, tested, and executed. This partnership reflects that belief. It is not only about inspiration; it is about giving young people a pathway to understand how ideas move from concept to research, from research to prototype, and from prototype to meaningful opportunity.

The collaboration will support a hybrid model combining virtual learning, in-person sessions, mentorship, innovation labs, and project-based activities. By connecting students with structured innovation experiences, KLabs and Times Group Institute aim to help young people build confidence, practical skills, and exposure to future industries.

This is a partnership built for long-term impact.

Every day, people come up with business ideas. Some ideas are simple. Some are ambitious. Some have the potential to become powerful companies. But the reality is that an idea alone is not a business.

A business is built through structure, execution, testing, strategy, technology, market understanding, and the discipline to turn a concept into something real.

That is where Klabs comes in.

What Klabs Represents

Klabs is the venture studio arm of Kspace Technologies, created to build, test, and scale new products, digital platforms, and business concepts.

Our focus is not just on brainstorming ideas. Our focus is on turning ideas into investable, usable, and scalable ventures.

We work at the intersection of technology, business strategy, product development, branding, and market execution.

Klabs exists for founders, businesses, and organizations that have strong ideas but need the right structure to bring them to life.

The Problem With Most Ideas

Many ideas fail not because they are bad, but because they are not properly built.

A founder may have a strong vision but no technical team.
A business may know there is a market opportunity but lack a clear product roadmap.
A startup may build too much too early before validating demand.
An organization may want innovation but not know how to structure it commercially.

Without the right execution system, even good ideas can remain stuck as conversations, pitch decks, or unfinished prototypes.

Klabs is designed to close that gap.

Our Venture Studio Approach

Klabs helps move ideas through a practical development journey.

That journey may include:

Market research
Business model design
Product strategy
MVP planning
UX and UI direction
Technical development support
Brand and go-to-market strategy
Pitch deck and investor readiness
Operational planning
Launch and growth strategy

The goal is to reduce confusion and give each venture a clear path from concept to execution.

Building Before Scaling

One of the biggest mistakes early ventures make is trying to scale before they are ready.

Before a company raises capital, hires a large team, or spends heavily on marketing, it needs clarity.

Who is the product for?
What problem does it solve?
Why will customers pay?
What features are needed first?
What can wait?
How will the business make money?
What makes it different?

Klabs helps answer these questions before unnecessary money and time are wasted.

We believe strong companies are built through disciplined validation, not guesswork.

More Than Product Development

Klabs is not just about building apps or websites. It is about building ventures.

That means looking beyond the product itself and thinking about the entire business.

A great product still needs positioning.
A strong platform still needs a market.
A good idea still needs revenue logic.
A startup still needs investor confidence.
A founder still needs execution support.

Klabs brings these pieces together so that ventures are not only technically functional, but commercially realistic.

Who Klabs Is For

Klabs is built for:

Founders with early-stage ideas
Startups preparing for MVP development
Businesses launching new digital products
Organizations exploring innovation projects
Entrepreneurs who need product and business structure
Investors or partners looking to support new ventures

Whether the idea is at the concept stage or already has an early prototype, Klabs helps bring structure to the next step.

The Future of Venture Building

The next generation of companies will not be built by ideas alone. They will be built by teams that can combine creativity, technology, strategy, and execution.

Klabs exists to support that process.

We believe venture building should be practical, disciplined, and outcome-focused. The objective is not just to create something that looks impressive. The objective is to build something that works, solves a real problem, and has the potential to grow.

Final Thought

An idea can start the journey, but execution builds the company.

At Klabs, we help turn concepts into structured ventures with the strategy, technology, and execution support needed to move forward.

You don’t just get an event.
You get alignment.

The Space App Creators Event & Workshop, hosted by Klabs Venture Studios in collaboration with Kspace Technologies HQ, was designed to do one thing: bring the ecosystem together — not just to talk, but to build.

Why This Event Mattered

Most platforms treat creators, sellers, and buyers as separate layers.

We don’t.

Space App is being built as a creator-powered commerce ecosystem — where:

• Sellers don’t just list products

• Creators don’t just promote

• Buyers don’t just scroll

Everything connects.

This event was our first step in making that vision tangible.

What We Focused On

1. Creators as Infrastructure (Not Just Marketing)

Creators are not an afterthought in this model.

They are distribution.

We explored how creators can:

• Drive product discovery

• Influence purchasing decisions in real time

• Earn continuously from the value they generate

Not one-off deals — but long-term participation in commerce.

2. Frictionless Selling Across Platforms

One of the biggest problems sellers face today is duplication:

• Listing on Shopify

• Listing on Amazon

• Rebuilding everything again elsewhere

We’re solving that.

During the workshop, we discussed how Space App will:

• Connect to existing stores

• Auto-sync listings

• Centralize checkout within Space App

This positions us not as a competitor — but as a bridge layer across commerce platforms.

3. Content → Commerce, Seamlessly

We broke down a key shift:

Content should not stop at engagement.
It should convert.

With Space App:

• A video created in-app can distribute across platforms

• Discovery can happen anywhere (Instagram, TikTok, Space App)

• But the transaction happens in one place

This is how we unify attention and conversion.

What We Learned

The strongest insight from the room:

Creators want ownership.
Sellers want distribution.
Platforms need alignment.

Most platforms optimize for themselves.

We are building for the ecosystem.

What Comes Next

This event was not a one-off.

It’s the foundation of how we build going forward:

• More creator workshops

• Seller onboarding sessions

• Early access programs

• Strategic partnerships

We are not just launching a product.

We are building a network.

Final Thought

The future of commerce won’t be driven by platforms alone.

It will be driven by people who create, distribute, and transact — all in one system.

That’s what Space App is.

And this was just the beginning.

A lot of creators know how to make content. Fewer have access to the right systems, partnerships, tools, and ecosystems that help them earn consistently, connect with brands, and build something that lasts. That gap is exactly why we are hosting the Space App Creators Event & Workshop.

This is not just another workshop.

It is an early look into how creators will be able to earn, connect, and grow inside the Space App ecosystem before everyone else. We are creating a space where creators can begin to understand what the next phase of opportunity looks like when content, commerce, community, and access come together in one platform.

At this event, creators will get a first-hand view of what Space App is building and why it matters. More importantly, they will begin to see how they can position themselves early.

This gathering is for creators who want more than views. It is for people who want structure, access, visibility, and long-term value. It is for creators who want to understand how to turn their content into consistent income, connect with real opportunities, and be part of something before it becomes crowded.

We are also intentionally making this an in-person experience because some of the most valuable opportunities do not begin with an algorithm. They begin in rooms. Through conversation. Through alignment. Through being present early.

Here is what attendees can expect:

• food and networking

• conversations around turning content into consistent income

• early access and priority positioning on Space App

• access to brands and real opportunities

This event is a signal of where things are going. The future will belong to creators who do not just create, but position themselves inside the right ecosystems early.

That is what this workshop is about.

If you are a creator who wants to grow with intention, connect with real opportunities, and get in early, this is a room you should be in.

Buying phones and laptops in random DMs shouldn’t feel like a gamble. Yet that’s where most high-value tech is sold today in chat threads, screenshots and unverified accounts.

Space App is built only for tech.

It combines social discovery with Al-verified sellers, clear product pages and secure checkout, so buyers, sellers and creators finally share one trusted space.

Every interaction strengthens our trust graph, turning messy DM commerce into a cleaner, safer experience for everyone.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

“Stop Buying Tech from Random DMs”: Kspace Technologies Launches Space App, an AI-Powered Social E-Commerce Marketplace for Tech

TORONTO, ON – Every day, people send serious money to strangers on social media hoping the phone, laptop, or gadget they paid for is real.

Today, the company announced Space App, an AI-powered social e-commerce marketplace for technology, gadgets, and software, where buyers, sellers, and influencers connect in one trusted platform instead of chaotic DMs and generic marketplaces.

“If you’re spending rent-level money on tech, it shouldn’t feel like a gamble,” said Derrick Afful Prumpu, Founder & CEO of Kspace Technologies Inc. “Space App is built on one belief: serious tech belongs in trusted spaces.”

The platform is being rolled out with an initial focus on key markets including New York, California, Miami, Toronto, Ottawa, and Vancouver, with plans to scale globally.

The Problem: Tech Commerce Is Happening in the Wrong Places

Right now, tech commerce lives in Facebook Marketplace threads, Instagram and TikTok DMs, and WhatsApp/Telegram groups. It “works” — until it doesn’t.

In those environments there is:

• no consistent verification of sellers

• no standard way to present specs, condition, or warranty

• no real trust layer for buyers or reputation layer for sellers

• no safe, trackable way for influencers to send their audience to buy

Space App to move this entire flow from “hope the seller is real” to “this platform is built for this.”

The Solution: AI-Powered Social E-Commerce for Tech

Space App connects buyers, sellers, and influencers in an AI-verified, compliance-driven marketplace designed specifically for tech, gadgets, and software.

Core pillars include:

• AI-verified, trust-first marketplace – AI helps evaluate and flag risk, surface trusted sellers, and support a compliance-driven environment so users don’t have to guess who they’re dealing with.

• Social e-commerce, built for tech – The experience feels like social discovery — scroll, connect, explore — but with proper product pages, structured listings, and secure flows for tech products and software.

• Where buyers, sellers and influencers actually meet – Instead of scattered DMs and screenshots, Space App brings serious buyers, verified sellers, and creators into one coordinated flow.

• Global tech commerce, ready to scale – Designed for both small resellers and large brands, Space App helps businesses look and feel like online powerhouses without building their own app from scratch.

How Space App Is Different from Other Platforms

General marketplaces sell everything; refurb sites focus on used devices; social platforms were built for content, not safe tech transactions.

Space App is built only for tech.

• Tech-only, not an everything-store – Every part of Space App is designed for phones, laptops, gadgets, and software.

• AI-powered trust, not just vibes – Space App uses AI verification and a compliance-first mindset to reduce scams and elevate trustworthy sellers.

• Social by design, structured by default – Social discovery and creator influence are combined with structured product pages, specifications, and clear conditions.

• One home for buyers, creators, and sellers – Buyers get confidence, creators get rails to monetize, and sellers get a serious channel dedicated to tech.

For Buyers: “Discover. Verify. Buy Smarter.”

On Space App, buyers can:

• find verified tech sellers and influencers they trust

• browse clear, tech-specific listings with specs and condition before they message or buy

• complete purchases through secure flows and in-app messaging instead of risky DMs

For Influencers & Creators: Beyond Affiliate Links

Influencers and creators can:

• partner with verified brands and resellers

• curate their own tech collections and drops inside Space App

• turn recommendations into tracked, verifiable sales, not just “link in bio” clicks

• protect their reputation by sending followers into a trusted marketplace

“Creators built the trust. We’re giving them the rails,” said Prumpu. “Space App lets influencers send followers into a safe marketplace and get properly rewarded for the business they drive.”

For Sellers & Product Owners: From DM Hustle to Online Powerhouse

Tech resellers, repair shops, and product owners can:

• launch a full storefront for phones, laptops, accessories, and software

• publish high-quality listings with specs, condition, and warranty

• tap into buyers whose shopping already starts on social platforms

• collaborate with creators who can move inventory faster and build brand trust

“If you’re running a serious tech business through DMs, Space App is your upgrade,” Prumpu added. “You bring the inventory; we bring the trust, the buyers, and the creators in one place.”

Early Traction & Vision

Space App is already attracting interest from buyers who want safer deals, influencers who want better rails than affiliate links, and sellers ready to look like real brands instead of anonymous profiles.

Kspace sees Space App as infrastructure for the future of tech commerce, not just another app icon.

“We’re not trying to be everything for everyone,” said Prumpu. “We’re building the place where serious tech buyers, sellers, and creators go by default. When someone says, ‘I’m buying a phone,’ we want the next sentence to be: ‘Check it on Space App.’”

Availability

Space App is rolling out in phases to:

• tech buyers who want safer, smarter purchases

• influencers and creators ready to own their tech influence

• sellers and brands who want a trusted, global channel for tech, gadgets, and software
