Tell us who you are, what you have achieved, and what you're capable of doing. We'll take it from there.
Now it's your turn to lead.
If you're ready to run a company of your own, our investment arm was built for you. We fund the business, pair you with a complementary co-founder, and back you both with a fourteen-year platform: so you can build full-time, salaried, from day one.
How we pick ventures
We build businesses that matter.
We identify problems worth solving and ideas already in demand, run initial due diligence, debate, validate, and pressure-test against our experience in go-to-market, sales, and operations. Then we bring the idea to the table with the best-fit co-founder.
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
We establish each business with a venture lead who brings the complementary skills: domain expertise, proven business acumen, and a known track record of growing companies.

Full-time Co-founders
We don't just hire, we tailor-fit according to you
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.
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've shipped real products for someone else; now you want to own one, with the equity to match.
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
5-30% equity in total combined across the founding team
Founding teams own 5-30% equity in total combined across the founding team.

Explore the fit & the match

Final Deliberation
