From ideas to business.

Our process.

1. Founder fit

We always have new projects in the pipeline ready to be launched. We are simply looking for the right captain to steer the ship.

2. Incubation

Get an initial 30K to incubate your ideas the first 3 months, gain traction with the goal of converting your initial paying clients.

3. Market fit

Unlock 100K and start building a team, testing your product or offering, and onboard a smart investor.

4. Acceleration

At this stage, we will not be very involved at an operational level, but will remain as active board members.

How much equity do I get?

We split equity equally between Startup Factory and the founding team.

Can founders pay themselves a salary?

We guarantee that Founders can invoice an equivalent of 50K€/year.  Funds will initially be covered by Startup Factory and later by the company that is created after successful fundraising.

What exactly does your Studio provide?

Our small agency provides hands-on operational support including branding, web design, marketing & sales, legal & administrative and financial support.

Do your corporate partners own any of the startup's equity?

Our model is based on not having the corporate partners directly in the equity of our companies. They sometimes hold a call option to acquire the company at predefined conditions agreed upfront between all the parties.

Do you have in-house tech developers?

No, we firmly believe there should be no wasted resources in expensive code builds in the first 6 months of the businesses we launch.

Once agreed upon KPIs are met, we guarantee a 100k equity investment that is often matched by another 100k convertible note from public funds we partner with.
