We build and invest in mission-driven companies.
A new type of co-founder, and a more valuable investor.
- Build With Experts: Every venture is co-founded alongside serial entrepreneurs who have taken companies from 0 to IPO and raised $250M+, and a collective of world-class engineers, designers, and more.
- Double Your Success: Our performance coaches, startup building playbooks, investor network and capital help us strive to build ventures at twice the speed and half the risk.
- Stay Focused: Our team and startup building process enables founders to focus on building a great product while we help take care of fundraising, accounting, engineering, legal, and more.
We believe that the best way to unlock this potential is to:
- Invest in world-class entrepreneurs. Help them reach their full human potential through extensive coaching and operational playbooks.
- Build and invest in companies that help millions of people reach for greater economic opportunity.
Why Build With Us?
- Speed: Skip the 18 months of self-funding with pre-vetted ideas and an EIR stipend.
- Support: Launch your MVP with studio resources and support.
- Capital: We’ll invest $250-500K of seed funding.
- Reduced Risk: Double your success rate and cut your time in half with our ops playbooks, talent and advisory network, and executive coaching.
Our Process
- Ideate: We generate and source hundreds of business ideas through our venture partner network, and select the few with potential to become $10B businesses that advance human potential.
- Explore: We work with entrepreneurs to explore high-potential businesses that fit their expertise; “getting out of the building” with customer development, interviews and prototypes.
- Validate: We provide entrepreneurs with a stipend to run an MVP to de-risk the business, build the product, acquire early customers, and prepare for launch. The entrepreneur stipend unlocks founding talent that couldn’t otherwise afford 18 months without a paycheck.
- Launch: We invest $250-500k in each venture, and setup the books, legal, and HR. Founders typically own >50% equity stake, depending on their founding team and investment amount – skipping straight to growing their business, without the early funding slog.
- Grow: We provide ongoing founder coaching, operational playbooks, recruiting and fundraising support to help founders grow their own skills as they grow their companies.
What To Expect
For 3-9 months, you’ll be working directly with our general partners, talent collective, and coaches to co-found a company.
If we mutually find an idea we’re all excited about, we will invest up to $500k with the potential for substantially more when company milestones are met.
