We Generate Better Returns
A lot of people say startups are hard. While we don’t deny this is reality for some, we see it differently.
Startups are easy. We make them easy because we’ve learned to how make them easy by going through hard times.
We provide investors with a unique opportunity to be part of a new model for building successful startups. -
We Build Startups For Corporations
The traditional ways of increasing growth just aren’t working anymore. M&A, corporate venture capital and internal innovation teams usually fail.
”Why don’t you just hire us to build startups for you.” It turns out this is a good idea.We use the same process for building startups for ourselves to build startups for companies.
