Venture Studio

We’ve built five companies. Let’s build yours.

Each of our products began the way yours will: with a problem someone was tired of living with. We found the customers, shipped the first version and stayed until it grew. Now we do the same alongside founders who know a market better than anyone.

01 · How we work

Five launches taught us what actually matters.

We learned most of this the hard way, on our own products. It comes down to four habits, and the people who built them are the ones who will sit at your table.

01
Listen before we buildWe sit with your customers before anyone writes code. If they won’t pay for it, we would rather find out in week two than in month ten.
02
Find the one thingMost new companies try to do five things and do them all badly. We help you choose the one you can do brilliantly, then name it, price it and make it look the part.
03
Ship, then sharpenA small senior team puts a working product in people’s hands within weeks. After that, the numbers decide what stays and what goes.
04
Grow without the bloatAgents take on the repetitive work, so growth doesn’t mean a bigger payroll. Your people spend their days with customers, not paperwork.

02 · What you inherit

You won’t be starting from a blank page.

Each of our products does one job every young company needs done. Build with us and you have all five behind you: a brand that looks established, a way to be found, operations that largely run themselves, numbers you can trust and systems that talk to each other. That is months of groundwork you never have to lay.

→The foundations are done. Your budget goes into the product your customers came for, not the plumbing underneath it.
→The engines are running. What brings customers to our products starts working for yours.
→The lessons travel. When something works for one company in the studio, the others hear about it that week.

03 · Working together

You bring the insight. We bring the craft.

Most founders who call us are stuck somewhere familiar. The idea is good. What’s missing is a team that has done this before and is willing to commit.

I know this market inside out. I don’t have a technical co-founder, and the ones I meet want a salary and half the company.

We raised a small round months ago. We have a Figma file and not much else.

Our technical co-founder walked. We have half a product and nobody who understands it.

Our MVP shipped and it was the wrong product. We need someone senior to help us choose what to build next.

The road ahead

Four stages, roughly eighteen months.

We let go of weak ideas quickly and back strong ones properly. Expect a product in customers’ hands around month four, and by month six enough signal to plan your first hires and your first raise.

Validate

We talk to customers, study competitors and test whether people will pay. Then we either sharpen the idea or tell you honestly to walk away.

You leave with: a clear yes or no, and a scoped first version.

028 to 12 weeks

Build MVP

A product customers can use and pay for, built AI-native on foundations that will still hold when you raise.

You leave with: a working product and your first users.

034 to 6 weeks

Launch

Pricing, positioning, a launch site and the first paying customers. We read the numbers every day and act on what they tell us.

You leave with: paying customers and honest usage data.

043 to 12 months

Scale

Hiring, growth, infrastructure and getting ready to raise. You lead the company. We stay close, then step back when we agreed we would.

You leave with: a team, a plan and a story investors understand.

The partnership

Neither of us can do this alone.

YOU BRING

The market

  • Domain expertiseYou’ve lived the problem, so you know exactly where it hurts.
  • DistributionThe network that gets a new product its first fair hearing.
  • Founder convictionThe appetite to lead this for years, not months.
  • Customer accessRooms we would never get into without you.
WE BRING

The build

  • ProductDiscovery, positioning, pricing and a roadmap with a reason behind every line.
  • EngineeringSenior engineers from the first week, so you never wait to hire.
  • AIAgents, retrieval and evaluation designed in from the start, never bolted on later.
  • Studio playbookLessons from five launches on what to build, what to cut and what to charge.

Engagement models

Choose how we share the risk.

No two ventures are alike, so neither are our deals. We agree the model, the equity and the exit in writing before anyone writes code.

SHARED UPSIDE

Co-build

We join as your technical co-founder. Lower fees, a meaningful stake, and we’re in it with you for the long haul.

FeeReduced
EquityMeaningful stake
Best forSolo operators
YOU KEEP IT ALL

Studio as a service

Our team and our habits for a fixed fee per stage. You keep the whole company and every line of code.

FeeFixed per phase
EquityNone
Best forFunded teams, spinouts
BLENDED

Equity plus fee

Part cash, part equity. You burn less, we have skin in the game, and the terms are revisited at each stage so it stays fair.

Who it is for

For people who’ve seen the problem up close.

Op

Operators with deep insight

Doctors, hoteliers, logistics leads and finance heads who have watched the same gap for years.

Ex

Executives striking out

You’re leaving a senior role to build something of your own, and you want a partner from the start.

Rl

Second-time founders

Your first attempt missed, but you kept the lessons. We bring the discipline to build it properly.

Co

Corporate spinouts

A new product that has to move faster than the parent company ever could.

Questions

The questions founders ask first.

How do you decide which ideas to back?

Three things: a customer who genuinely hurts, a founder who can reach them, and an opening a small team can win. If one is missing, we’ll tell you on the first call.

Who owns the IP?

The company does. Code, designs and data sit in the venture from day one, whichever model you choose.

How much equity do you take?

It depends on the model, the stage and how much cash you put in. We agree it in writing before work starts, with vesting tied to delivery.

Can we hire our own team later?

We hope so. We help you hire and hand over, and stay on as advisers or board members if that helps.

Do you work with corporate spinouts?

Yes. Studio as a service suits corporate teams that want a new product built outside the main organisation, with a clean handover.

What does it cost to start?

A short, fixed-fee validation sprint. You only commit to the build once we both believe what the evidence says.

Pitch us.

Tell us the idea and who it’s for. You’ll get an honest read on the first call, and if we’re a good fit, we’ll build it together.
