​
What other companies have you helped start?
Since our inception in November 2023, we've embarked on a carefully curated journey with a select group of beta customers, each chosen for their unique business ideas, potential, and drive. We didn't set out to amass a vast portfolio overnight but rather to invest deeply in a handful of ventures, providing them with an unparalleled level of support and expertise. This exclusive group of early adopters is currently navigating through our comprehensive 4-month process, and the feedback has been nothing short of inspiring. The positive results we've seen are a testament to our rigorous, hands-on approach and have given us the confidence to accept more customers. We've seen concepts refined, market fits identified, and strategies executed with precision.
​
As we open our doors to the general public in January 2024, we carry forward this ethos of personalized, evidence-based support. Since we're a new service, our pricing is currently at a heavily reduced cost for the next 20 customers that we accept. We're also so confident in our results that we'll allow you to cancel at any time with no penalties should you ever feel that you're not satisfied with our service. You also get to keep all data generated and your idea is still strictly protected, will never be shared by us, and is fully owned by you.
​
