Who We're Looking For

You're not an entrepreneur. You're a VP of Sales, a Managing Director, a Partner—someone who's spent 15 years building relationships in your industry. You've thought "someone should build X" a hundred times. We're the someone.

How It Works

  1. 1
    We have a conversation about your industry and what you're seeing.
  2. 2
    Together we identify a problem worth solving.
  3. 3
    You become a Founder-in-Residence for 3 months — no need to quit your job.
  4. 4
    If it works, we build the company together.
  5. 5
    If it doesn't, you've lost nothing but a few hours of interesting conversation.

Common Questions

Do I need to quit my job?

No. The Founder-in-Residence period is designed to work alongside your current role.

Do I need a business idea?

No. We find it together. You bring the industry knowledge; we bring the frameworks for identifying opportunities.

What's in it for me?

We'll solve the issues you've seen in your industry with accelerated speed.

What if it doesn't work?

There's little risk involved. You'll have spent some time on interesting conversations about your industry, and you've tried something new.

Start a Conversation

No pitch deck. No pressure. Just a conversation about what you're seeing in your industry.
