- If needed, raise funding — we’ll help you prepare, refine your pitch, and introduce you to relevant investors.
- Commit a minimum of 12 hours per week, with flexibility to scale up as the business gains traction.
- Join weekly 1:1 calls with our venture building team for strategy, planning, and support.
