NeedTech Labs announced today that Rob Levy, Expert Partner at Bain & Company, has been appointed to the company’s Advisory Board. The move reflects NeedTech Labs’ focus on building a durable, high-discipline operating model for venture formation while growing its portfolio of IP-protected, investment-grade startup opportunities.

NeedTech Labs builds a new era of venture formation—where vetted opportunities are execution-ready: IP-protected, investment-grade, and purpose-built to address the two biggest founder bottlenecks: ideation and validation. The company’s portfolio is developed through a structured evaluation process, including AI-assisted research and strict validation, designed to de-risk early-stage decisions before significant time and capital are committed.

“At NeedTech Labs we are building a disciplined pathway for capable founders to pursue high-impact opportunities with clarity and speed,” said Shalom Daskal, Co-Founder & Chairman of NeedTech Labs. “Rob brings the strategic depth and operating perspective that align with our standards and our vision—strengthening how we prioritize, structure, and guide opportunities from initial validation to execution-ready plans.”

As an Advisory Board member, Rob will advise on key strategic priorities, including: Portfolio strategy and prioritization, Institutional operating cadence, and Strategic partnerships.

“When I first reviewed NeedTech Labs’ approach, my immediate reaction was ‘Wow, ‘Hats Off’.’,” said Rob Levy, Expert Partner at Bain. “The team is bringing structure and rigor to venture formation in a way that de-risks decisions at the foundation level—something I have never seen before. This helps founders move from idea to execution with far more certainty and clarity.”
