Venture Studio

We co-build with select founders

For the right opportunities, we go beyond capital and advisory. We become your co-building partner, contributing product, GTM, and operational expertise in exchange for equity and aligned upside.

Pitch Your Company

How Co-Building Works

What We Look For

  • Founder-market fit: Domain expertise or unique access
  • Clear wedge: Specific buyer, urgent pain, measurable ROI
  • Defensibility potential: Data moat, workflow lock-in, or distribution advantage
  • Execution velocity: Willingness to ship weekly and iterate fast

What We Contribute

  • Product build and iteration
  • Data loop design and feedback systems
  • GTM engine (outbound, inbound, partnerships)
  • Design and brand system
  • Hiring support for first key roles
  • Analytics and reporting infrastructure

Studio Thesis

We invest time and expertise where traditional VCs only invest capital. This allows us to de-risk execution, accelerate time-to-market, and build defensibility from day one. We're selective—typically 2-3 studio partnerships per year.

Compensation Models

Reduced Fees + Equity

Lower cash engagement fees in exchange for meaningful equity stake

Best for: Pre-seed and seed stage companies

Equity + Milestone Success Fees

Equity stake plus performance-based payments tied to key milestones

Best for: Companies with clear revenue or funding milestones

Revenue Share

Percentage of revenue for specific product lines or features we build

Best for: Established companies launching new AI products

Equity Structure

Equity stakes are negotiated case-by-case based on stage, scope, and risk. Typical range: 5-15% for early-stage co-builds. We prefer simple structures with standard vesting and clear exit alignment.

Governance & IP

Our Approach

  • Clear IP ownership and licensing agreements
  • Board observer or advisory seat (case-by-case)
  • Monthly strategic reviews and quarterly planning
  • Transparent decision-making framework
  • Exit alignment and liquidity preferences

IP Ownership

All IP created during the engagement is owned by the company. We retain the right to use learnings and non-proprietary methods in future work. Clean separation, no surprises.
