What We Look For.
We’re looking for great people with great ideas. Here are some hallmarks of both:
Passionate People.
We want you to be passionate about your product. So pick an area close to your heart.
Clear Consumer Need.
You should have a clear user need or behavior identified. Your product should make life easier or better.
Learn By Doing.
On average you should have a beta launched within 6 months of starting.
Highly Scalable.
Meaning no matter how many people use it, the amount of work or cost will not increase proportionally.
No Copycats.
You don't like it. We don't like it. Nobody likes it. So build something really new.
What We Offer.
We are completely transparent and totally committed to helping your startup succeed. To help you get there, we offer:
Funding For 1 Year.
We invest a fixed amount in your company (We roughly match your current yearly salary).
You're Still The Boss.
You get to keep 70% equity. You give 3% to your advisors. We take 27%.
Complete Focus.
All the legal and admin stuff is taken care of, so you can focus on your product.
Refine And Optimize.
We provide continuous advice for business, UX, marketing and brand through us or our partners.
Inspirational Community.
We hold quarterly un-conferences in cool places so everyone can share and learn.
