SixLab, a Studio X product, was created by Shell to foster new ways of working and promote innovation in energy. : And while our mission hasn’t changed, we’re leveling up our program: SixLab, which initially was an incubator for innovators, is now a pre-seed to seed startup accelerator.

Our goal is to accelerate your path to a commercially viable product or service. This includes connecting you with top mentors and VCs, and the potential for a $50K-$250K investment in exchange for a small equity interest to unlock resources within a global organization.

By providing access to Shell’s talent, expertise, and resources, we aim to help startups transform the future of energy.
