venture studio · division four
you havethe domain.we have the build.
for the trader who knows what bloomberg gets wrong. for the clinician epic refuses to listen to. one named co-founder. equity in writing. shipped in months.
the deal, in writing
four things we'll put on the term sheet.
one subject-matter expert per venture.
no advisor pools, no roster. you're the named co-founder. your domain is the credibility.
named at term sheet, before any work.
studio and co-founder shares signed before code moves. no ratcheting, no surprise dilution from our side. the range is shared on the discovery call once the venture shape is clear.
senior engineers with agents doing the leverage.
not ai-only theater. not offshore juniors with an agent wrapper. you'll meet the engineer on the kickoff call.
working prototype + defensible wedge by week four.
if it isn't there, we kill it. we don't drag dead ventures to keep the studio looking busy.
who we co-build with
the founders we say yes to.
- 01
the ex-trader who knows where bloomberg gets it wrong, and would rather build the alternative than write another pitch deck.
- 02
the clinician who saw the workflow epic refuses to listen to, and is ready to put their name on the cap table.
- 03
the operator who saw a category before the market did, and wants a building partner — not a board of investors.
- 04
the domain expert with one hard-won insight and no engineering team.
how to start
pitch us
30-min call to test the domain fit and the shape of the venture.
equity terms named at term sheet — typically within two weeks of the first call. nothing on the page commits before then.
what we co-build
four moves from pitch to ship.
- 01 / pitch
you bring the domain insight. we bring the idea pipeline. we match in week one or part as friends.
- 02 / term sheet
equity split named on paper before any code moves. usually two weeks from first call.
- 03 / wedge sprint
four weeks. working prototype + a defensible first wedge. if it isn't there, we kill it together.
- 04 / build the company
incorporate, hire the first engineer, ship to first customers. you're the named co-founder from day one.
