For Founders

We're the operating partner
you can't hire.

You bring the domain expertise. We bring the channel, the structure, and the capital. We split equity 30–40% and stay in through scale.

§ 01 / Who this is for

You're a domain expert — you've been inside an industry for 10+ years, you see exactly the AI-leveraged product that the market is missing, and you know what to build. What you don't have is a working distribution channel, a capital structure, or the org muscle to scale a company. You've thought about raising a seed round, but you don't want to spend 9 months chasing 200 VC meetings to get a $1.5M check that comes with the wrong incentives.

That's the seat we fill.

§ 02 / What we bring
01

Working MSP/VAR/reseller channel

Nationwide B2B SMB / mid-market distribution. Day-one access through the holdco's anchor relationships.

02

Capital

Typically $150–250K at formation, more as we hit milestones.

03

Operating systems

Finance, legal, hiring, sales infrastructure that take 18 months to build correctly. You inherit them on day one.

04

Equity stack design

We structure ownership so you keep operator-level economics. We're not founder-displacement specialists.

05

Co-founder commitment

We don't disappear after the check clears. We're in the weekly operating cadence until you're at $2M+ ARR.

§ 03 / What we expect
You operate the business. We don't replace you; we accelerate you.
We take 30–40% equity at formation. We earn that share, every quarter.
You commit to a 5-year minimum operating horizon. No quick flips.
The product gets sold through channel. If your idea requires inbound paid CAC to work, this isn't the right structure.
§ 04 / What we don't build

Save us both time. We pass fast on:

Hard passes
  • Crypto / web3 plays. Not a moral take. Just outside our channel and our patience.
  • Consumer apps that need viral growth. We're channel-led. If your idea requires paid CAC to spread, we're not the partner.
  • "I have an idea" pitches without domain expertise. We co-build with operators who've spent 10+ years inside an industry. Not first-time entrepreneurs scratching an itch.
  • 6-month experiments. We commit to 5-year operating horizons. If you're "seeing how it goes," see how it goes somewhere else.
