Our process

We partner with execution-ready founders, not just ideas. Our structured approach ensures we build products that have real market pull and founder commitment.

1

Application & Initial Review

We start with a comprehensive application that helps us understand your background, the problem you're solving, and your commitment level. We're looking for founders who have domain expertise, customer conversations, and a clear distribution plan—not just an idea.

2

Founder Deep-Dive

If your application shows promise, we schedule a focused interview to stress-test execution readiness. We want to understand your track record, how you've validated the market, and what you've personally invested—time, money, and emotional commitment.

3

Validation Sprint

Before we write production code, we run a 30-day validation sprint. You'll conduct customer interviews, define your ideal customer profile, and secure early signals like LOIs or pre-sales. We'll provide UX mockups and technical feasibility analysis. This phase determines whether we move forward together.

4

Partnership Structure

If validation is successful, we structure an equity-for-build partnership with clear milestones and vesting. We're not a dev shop—we're technical co-founders who share in your success. The structure reflects the risk, market opportunity, and execution readiness we see.

5

Build & Scale

Once aligned, we move fast. We build your MVP, help you acquire your first customers, and iterate based on real market feedback. Throughout the process, we maintain clear milestones and accountability to ensure momentum and progress.

What we're looking for: Founders with domain expertise, customer validation, and serious commitment. We evaluate founder execution, market pull, business model scalability, and execution readiness. If you're already talking to customers and have skin in the game, we want to hear from you.

We partner with founders to build products that solve real problems and create lasting value.

  • Customer evidence: Who have you spoken to? Any LOIs, pre-sales, or early pilots?
  • Your commitment: How much time can you dedicate per week? What have you personally invested?
  • Distribution plan: How will you acquire your first 10 customers?
