We partner with founders who believe in what they're building.
Here's how the partnership works — and what it means to build with us.
Not an agency.
Not an incubator.
A venture studio occupies a unique position — we bring the capability of a product team with the conviction of a co-founder. We don't just build what you ask for; we partner on what your venture actually needs.
Co-build, don't outsource
We embed as product partners — strategy, design, and engineering working as a single integrated team alongside yours. No handoffs. No silos.
Shared conviction
We choose our partners carefully. When we believe in a venture deeply enough, we invest our capability for equity — aligning our success completely with yours.
Long-term commitment
We don't disappear after launch. We iterate, scale, and grow alongside you — because our measure of success is your venture's success.
Three ways to work
with the studio
We structure our partnerships to match where you are and what you need. There's no one-size-fits-all here.
Fee-Based
Integrated product capability, billed at a monthly retainer. You retain full ownership. We bring strategy, design, and engineering to your team.
- Clear scope, defined outcomes
- Flexible engagement length
- Best for funded or revenue-generating ventures
- Full IP ownership remains with you
Hybrid (Fee + Equity)
Reduced fee in exchange for a meaningful equity stake. We put skin in the game. Our incentives are directly aligned with your outcome.
- Lower cash cost, shared upside
- We treat it like our own venture
- Best for early-stage with strong conviction
- Equity terms negotiated case by case
Studio-Backed
For the right ventures, we invest capability in exchange for equity — no fee. We become genuine co-founders in the product sense.
- No upfront cost
- Significant equity stake
- We co-originate the venture thesis
- Reserved for our highest conviction partnerships
What we look for in a founder
A problem worth solving
We're drawn to ventures tackling real, significant problems — not incremental feature plays. The problem should be clearly understood and well-articulated.
Domain credibility
You have earned the right to solve this problem. You understand the space, the customers, and what "good" looks like — even if you haven't built it yet.
Commercial instinct
A vision without a business model is a project. We look for founders who think about value creation, not just product creation. Unit economics matter from day one.
The will to see it through
Building a product company is hard. We want founders who are in it for the long run — not the next fundraise milestone, but the actual outcome.
What we're not
We're selective about who we partner with — and honest about what we are and aren't. If you're looking for one of these things, we're probably not the right fit.
- Not a consultancy
- We don't produce reports, strategy decks, or recommendations that someone else executes. We're builders. If we're working with you, we're shipping.
- Not an incubator
- We don't run programmes, cohorts, or bootcamps. We work with a small number of ventures at a time, deeply — not broadly across many at once.
- Not a dev shop
- We're not a resource provider. We don't work from a brief you hand us. We think alongside you — strategy, design, and engineering as one conversation.
- Not a co-founder replacement
- We're your product building partner, not a substitute for the commercial, sales, or operational leadership your venture needs from its founding team.
