Every co-founding engagement is structured specifically — there is no standard template, because every venture is different. Equity structures, IP ownership, and decision-making rights are agreed transparently at the start. The principle is always that you, as the domain founder, are the primary equity holder. We structure our involvement to align incentives, not to accumulate control.

That’s a completely valid starting point — some of our best ventures started from exactly there. We run a structured validation sprint first to assess whether the idea is technically feasible and commercially viable before committing to a full co-founding engagement. You’ll have a clear, honest answer within three to four weeks.

We operate under implied confidentiality from the first conversation and can sign an NDA at any point — including before the first call if you prefer. We have worked with founders in highly competitive spaces and understand that the idea itself is often the most sensitive thing in the room early on.

The strongest fits are ventures where AI is genuinely core to the value proposition — not a feature layered on top of a conventional SaaS product. We look for: a real, painful problem in a domain with data; a founder with deep domain expertise or unique data access; and a commercial opportunity large enough to justify the investment in building AI-native from the ground up. We’ll tell you honestly if we don’t think it’s the right fit for us.

We support investor readiness directly — technical due diligence preparation, architecture documentation, model performance benchmarks, and the narrative around AI defensibility that investors scrutinise most heavily. We also have a network of investors and ecosystem partners across Europe with exposure to AI ventures. We don’t operate as a formal fundraising advisor, but we have helped co-founded ventures navigate seed and Series A processes effectively.

The goal from day one is your independence. We design the architecture, build the team, and transfer the capability so that the company doesn’t need us to function. The transition is gradual and collaborative — typically as you hire and onboard your own technical leadership. We remain available as advisors and partners, but we actively build toward the point where you don’t need us in day-to-day operations.
