Venture

You have the idea we have the build

No invoice. We design, build and ship the product, and take a stake in the company instead of a fee.

Our stake
5–25%

Venture: we build the product for equity rather than an invoice, taking a five to twenty-five per cent stake.
01 — What this is

You have something worth building and no budget to build it. We put in the work that a funding round would have paid for, and take a share of what it becomes.

Your idea.
Our build.
One company.

This is not an accelerator and it is not consulting with a discount. We do very few of these — two or three a year — because each one is a real product built properly, and we only make money if it works.

02 — The deal

Who puts in what

You bringand keep the majority
  • The idea, and the reason it should exist
  • The market — you know the customer, we don't
  • Sales, and the first conversations
  • The company, registered and yours
  • Decisions. It stays your product.
We bringfor 5–25%
  • Design, from nothing to a finished interface
  • The build — iOS, Android, web, backend
  • Infrastructure, and the bill for the first year
  • Store submission, launch and the version after
  • A technical co-founder who stays

The percentage depends on how much is already there. An idea on a napkin is not the same as a product with users and a broken backend.

03 — What we look for

Three things, honestly

Miss one and we'll tell you rather than take the meeting.

01 You know the market Not a guess about one. You have worked in it, sold into it, or been the frustrated customer. We can build anything; we cannot tell you who wants it.
02 Software is the product Not a website for a business that is really something else. If the thing you sell is the software, our work and your upside point the same way.
03 You're still here in a year We're putting in months of build against a share that only pays if you keep going. The founder who stops in month four costs us more than it costs them.
04 — How it works

From a pitch
to a company you own.

Four to six weeks from first email to first commit, if it's a yes.

  1. 1

    You pitch it

    A paragraph and a deck if you have one. No forms about your TAM. We read every one and reply either way.

  2. 2

    We say yes, or we say why not

    Most are a no, and you get the reason in writing. It is usually the market, almost never the idea.

  3. 3

    We agree the split

    Between five and twenty-five per cent, written down, with vesting and a buy-out clause. One lawyer, one week.

  4. 4

    We build it

    Exactly as we'd build it for a paying client, because the only way this pays us is if it works.

  5. 5

    Then you run it

    You own the company, the code and the customers. We stay on the cap table and on the phone.

05 — The split

What you give up

95%You keep 5%Our stake

At the low end: a product that already has users and a team, where we're finishing something rather than starting it.

Scroll to see the range. Where you land depends on how much exists on the day we start — and it is written into the agreement before anyone builds anything.
