We invest in startups
and build your product

Our investment is your product. We back early-stage startups by building their app or software from scratch — in exchange for equity. No cash required. You launch. We hold a stake in your success.

Two minutes, no cash, no obligation. Or see what we've built.

We don't write cheques — we build products. Instead of wiring money, we put our engineering team to work and ship a production-ready product at no upfront cost to you.

How the equity model works

Four steps, no invoice.

01
Step one

Pitch

You tell us what you're building — what problem it solves, who it's for, and what makes it different. We respond to every submission.

02
If we believe in it

Agree

We review it properly. If it's a fit, we settle the scope and an agreed equity stake before a line of code is written.

03
Our team, our cost

Build

Our full engineering team designs, develops and ships the product from scratch. No invoices. No retainers.

04
And after

Launch

You launch with a real product on day one — and a partner with genuine skin in the game, not a line item.

What you get. What we take.

The whole arrangement in one place. You keep control of the company; we carry the build cost and the risk that comes with it.

What you get
01

A real product

Design, development and delivery of a production-ready app or software platform — shipped, not prototyped.

Mobile, web, or both
02

No upfront cost

No cash required. No invoices, no retainers, no monthly burn against a budget you don't have yet.

$0 to start
03

A partner, not a vendor

We hold a stake in what happens next, so the product is judged on whether it works — not on whether the hours were billed.

Genuine skin in the game
What Midnyte takes
04

An agreed equity stake

Settled before we start and written down. In return we absorb the entire cost of designing and engineering the product.

5–25% typical
05

A small number of bets

We can only build so many products properly, so we take on a limited number each year and give each one a real team.

2–3 companies a year
06

The downside too

If it doesn't work, we wrote off the build. That's the trade — and it's why we're selective about which ideas we back.

We carry the risk

Who we back

There's no form to guess at. Run the two-minute intake and you'll get a valuation range for your product at the end of it.

What you're building

  • Mobile apps — iOS, Android or cross-platform
  • Web applications — SaaS, dashboards, platforms
  • Mobile + web as one full-stack product
  • Something else: APIs, integrations, AI tools

Who it's for

  • Consumers — end users and individuals
  • Businesses — companies, teams, enterprises
  • Marketplaces — two-sided platforms
  • Internal tools — operations and productivity

Where you are

  • Just an idea — concept phase, nothing built
  • Design ready — wireframes or mockups exist
  • MVP or prototype — basic version in progress
  • Scaling — live product that needs to grow
Six questions, then your valuation range.

Wavo product shot

Wavo

An AI builder for websites and web apps: you describe what you want in plain language and Wavo returns a working site — HTML, CSS and JavaScript — in about thirty seconds, ready to publish to Netlify in one click or download in full. Built for founders, freelancers and small teams who need something real online without hiring a developer, and who want to own the source rather than rent a template.

TrueDebt

Verified debt settlement for Nordic lenders — a platform that replaces collection calls with a structured, verifiable settlement process, putting lenders and people in debt on the same side of the table. Built by Midnyte for a stake in the company rather than an invoice.

They think like founders

On what changes when the builder has skin in the game.

What sets Midnyte apart is that they think like founders. They challenged our assumptions, suggested a better architecture, and ultimately delivered something that outperformed what we'd originally scoped. This team genuinely cares.
