Four phases. Twenty-four months minimum.
Our work is not a twelve-week program. It is an operational partnership built to weather the real challenges of an emerging company.
Framing
Before any structural investment, we frame. Three months of productive discomfort where the founding team and the studio interrogate the problem, the market, and the model together.
- A field-validated problem dossier
- A written, attackable, defendable business model
- A clear decision: build, pivot, or stop.
Build
We set up the team, the architecture, and the governance. The studio injects capital, engineers, lawyers, designers — pro rata to the needs. The company takes shape.
- Founding team complemented by key hires
- MVP delivered and used by first pilot customers
- Articles, governance, compliance in place
Activation
Commercial launch, scaling operations, first measurable unit economics. The studio remains involved on cap table and board — but the team drives.
- Recurring revenue and unit margin proven
- Senior key hires made
- Preparation, if relevant, of an external funding round
Autonomy
The studio steps back. The company governs. We keep a board seat, we stay reachable — but success is measured by our gradual withdrawal.
- Autonomous board
- Series A or consolidated self-funding
- Continuity plan independent of the studio
