For founders and growing companies.

Looking for investors or an equity partner, or for a co-founder to build with? They exist, including in the diaspora. We help you find them, and help you get it right.

What you’re looking for

Two ways we can help.

  • Looking for investors or an equity partner

    You need capital from someone who also brings judgement and stays useful after the money lands.

    What we do for you

    • Getting the numbers and the story ready for an investor’s questions
    • Introductions to investors who suit your stage and sector
    • Advice on how much to give up, on what terms, and with which rights attached
  • Looking for a co-founder

    You have the idea or the early business, and you need the partner who covers what you can’t do alone.

    What we do for you

    • Introductions to people whose skills complement yours, including in the diaspora
    • Honest conversations about who owns what, and why
    • Vesting and a founders’ agreement in place before there is anything to argue over

The first 10

Only 10 companies get this for free.

We read every registration and select the 10 strongest. Registering is how to be considered, not a guarantee of a place. Lawyers, accountants and other professionals charge their own fees.

What we look for when we select

What we’ll ask

Registering takes a few minutes.

  1. 1

    Your company or idea

    What you do, who pays for it, and why they’d choose you. A few sentences is enough.

  2. 2

    Your numbers

    Revenue and EBITDA last year, if you’re past the idea stage. A best estimate is fine, and the form explains what EBITDA means.

  3. 3

    Your documents

    If you have them: three years of financial statements, CVs, a business plan and a business model, as PDFs.
