Legal
Incorporation, contracts, cap table.
HandledIncubators & accelerators
A new service line for your programme.
The one thing an incubator cannot give a founder — someone who can build — offered to your whole cohort.
Where programmes get stuck
You already solve three of a founder's four problems
Legal, capital and network are handled. The fourth is where the cohort stalls, and it is the expensive one.
Capital
Cheques, and introductions to the next round.
HandledNetwork
Mentors, customers, the room itself.
HandledSomeone who can build
This is where the cohort stalls.
The gapWhat the gap costs
A founder who cannot build has three ways out
All of them cost your programme — in equity, in the round, or in the outcomes your cohort takes to demo day.
They give away equity
A technical co-founder takes a slice of the company — before your cheque is even deployed, and it dilutes every subsequent round including yours.
They spend the round on an agency
Money you raised for traction goes into a build, and the clock starts again in six months with nobody left to maintain the result.
They stall
The idea never gets in front of a customer, and demo day is a slide instead of a product. The cohort's outcomes are your track record.
What changes for you
The fourth thing you can offer
A programme nobody can copy quickly
Legal, capital and introductions are table stakes — every programme in your market offers them. This is not, and it is not something a competing programme can assemble in a quarter.
More startups, further along
Ideas get in front of customers in days rather than quarters. More of your cohort reaches demo day with something a visitor can use, which changes what demo day is.
Founders keep their equity
No technical co-founder to pay in shares, no agency eating the round. A cleaner cap table at seed is worth real money to them and to you.
A revenue line, not a cost
Priced into the programme, per cohort. It is a service you offer rather than an expense you absorb.
No engineers to hire
You are not building a technical team, and you are not becoming responsible for one.
No platform for your team to maintain
Nothing to run, patch, monitor or support. The operational burden stays with us.
How the partnership works
You own the relationship. We do the building.
- You
- Decide who gets access, and how it sits inside your programme. It carries your name alongside ours.
- Us
- Onboard the cohort, build with each founder, and run everything that ships.
- The startups
- Pay only for the resources their own application uses — a cost they would carry whoever built it.
One licence for the programme. Everything else scales with the cohort.
Where to start
Start with one cohort
Not a platform rollout. One intake, and a decision made on evidence.
- 01
We onboard your next intake
Every founder who wants it gets access from week one, with a session that takes an hour rather than a day.
- 02
You keep control of the offer
Which startups, which stage, how it is presented, and under whose name. We do not go around you to your founders.
- 03
We report back on what got built
What each founder described, what shipped, and what it is doing now. You decide with evidence whether it belongs in the programme for good.
What we need from you: one cohort, and one person to talk to.
Take the deck with you
Most programmes have more than one person to convince. This is the version you can forward.

Questions programmes ask
What does it cost our programme?
One licence for the programme, priced per cohort. The startups pay only for the resources their own applications consume — a cost they would carry no matter who built them. See Pricing for the structure.
Whose brand is it under?
Yours, alongside ours. You decide how it is presented inside the programme, and you own the relationship with your founders throughout.
What if a founder wants to take the application with them?
Code ownership and deployment into the founder's own cloud are on the roadmap. Today the application runs on our infrastructure, and we would rather you knew that going in than discovered it at demo day. See Roadmap.
How much of our team's time does this take?
One person to talk to, and an onboarding session per cohort. You are not staffing this.
What if only some of the cohort wants it?
That is the expected case, and it is why the first cohort is the right size of commitment. Founders who are already technical will not need it.
Why should we be early?
Because being early means the programme is shaped around what your founders actually need. We are choosing our first partners deliberately and there is a limit to how many first partners exist.
