Now it's your turn to lead.

If you've wanted to run your own company but never wanted to gamble your livelihood to do it, this is built for you. We fund the business, pair you with a complementary co-founder, and back you with a fourteen-year platform: so you can build full-time from day one.

How we pick ventures

We build businesses that matter.

We identify high-potential ideas that are in demand by growing companies, rigorously do initial due diligence, debate, validate, and align with our experiences in go-to-market, sales, and operations. Then we bring the idea to the table with the best-fit co-founder.

Idea identification

Idea Identification & Validation

Through years of experience, we've identified challenges unique to the nonprofit sector that new ventures can solve. Our initial validation and diligence ensures strong product-market fit before bringing venture leads onboard.

Founder matching

Founder Matching

We establish businesses with a venture lead that can bring the complementary skills: domain expertise, proven business acumen, and a known track record of success driving the growth of companies.

The 2 venture lead types: Business Lead & Technical Lead.

Whether you're tenured on business savvy or you're experienced in leading the technical side of big tech. We want to work with you.

A diverse team of operators collaborating on the build
Business & Operations Lead

You run the company

You own go-to-market, customers, hiring, and the P&L from day one. You have the experience as an executive or senior manager running a team or a function before, and you would rather own a business, rather than work for one. Direct corporate leadership, entrepreneurial leadership, or nonprofit & association experience is a strong signal, because you have experience on what needs to get done.

Technical Lead

You build the product

You own product and engineering from the first line of code and set the technical direction as the company grows. You want to own a product and take your ideas public. You're ready to translate your ideas to the next big thing.

What co-founders receive

Backed from day one.

Base Salary
Secured by Day 1

Co-founders draw a reasonable, secure salary from day one: no need to self-fund while building.

Runway
2 Years

The business is funded with adequate capital to allow for a full two-year operational runway.

Equity
15–45%

Founding teams own 15–45% equity in the company you build.
