How we do it
Building a great startup is hard. Really hard. It requires domain expertise, uncommon talent, great execution, great timing, and a little luck. It also requires the ever-elusive great idea. Our team has developed the playbook on how to rapidly validate, refine, and build new businesses.
01—Ideation
It could be our idea. It could be your idea.
Either way, we put it through the ringer: determining if it can be a world-changing, venture-scale company that customers love. Sign up to join our bi-weekly ideation sessions.
02—Validation
Every idea we work on sounds good at first. But nine out of ten aren't.
We know this because we track it. We put an idea through its paces, testing customer demand, technical feasibility, business model, unit economics, market dynamics, investor interest, and more. We benchmark every idea against the performance of our past ideas to determine if it's worth our time—and yours.
03—Creation
When an idea is a good one, it’s time to move. Fast.
Our team of designers, engineers, data scientists, marketers, and company builders turn a validated concept into a real product in market.
04—Spinout
Great companies require extraordinary people and smart capital.
Our spinout process is the best method we know of to get a company off the ground, staffed up, and funded by great venture investors as fast as humanly possible.
05—Scale Up
We’ll take care of the boring stuff.
Focus is the lifeblood of an early-stage company. Our recruiting, legal, and finance teams, along with our relationships with top service providers, allow founders to keep their eyes squarely on building the business.
