We're different.
A custom approach to incubation.
Your interim cofounder.
We are very hands-on. We only work with a small number of companies at a time and get super deep in the operations, sorta like an interim cofounder. Think of us as a SWAT team of industry experts to ensure that when companies leave our Incubator, they’re operating like a well-oiled machine and are ready to win.

Incubator

Pre-Seed & Seed

Most of the companies that get selected to participate in the incubator are at the Pre-Seed or Seed stage. The definitions of those stages varies quite a bit, but for us the key thing is that we like to get involved after there is a product in place.

Usually the companies have raised capital and have an early team in place as well.

Worldwide, but selling to US customers

We’ll incubate companies located in most regions around the world so long as the companies are selling to US customers. When companies are located abroad and selling to customers outside of the US we find we’re not the best partner to help. But for companies targeting the US market - we’re a good friend to have.

It’s important to note that our incubator program is conducted remotely via video calls. Your team won’t need to relocate for the program.

Software & Services

While the incubator is sector agnostic, we tend to focus on pure software and tech-enabled services. That said, we have been inspired to support companies in a few other sectors in the past.

$50K
We make a $50K cash investment in each incubator company, with no fees required to join. In addition, we provide a highly personalized six-month program, where we embed ourselves as interim cofounders, helping drive everything from product development to go-to-market strategies and fundraising. In return, we receive a 6% equity stake, ensuring our interests align with those of our founders.

6%
We provide a $50K cash investment plus a 6-month, highly individualized program that will take your company to the next level. We ask for a 6% common stock position. This structure aligns our success with yours, ensuring we only profit when you do.

We built this great platform to help companies and we try to make it available to all of the companies we partner with.
