Our casa is your casa
Please note, we are not taking equity, nor are we providing funding. This is an opportunity for us to roll up our sleeves and work alongside you at the earliest stages of your journey, offering hands-on support as you build. At the end of the programme, we hope to take several companies to our investment committee and more formally join your journey.
If you have several co-founders, you will need to allocate Studio participation to a specific founder, but your co-founders will be welcome to attend several parts of the programme and may be able to work from the studio on given days.
