Venture studio / Partner model
Each partner brings an edge.
A good venture partnership is clear about who does what. Here is how we usually divide the work, and how we approach the commercial side.
What you bring
The view from inside the industry.
- Domain knowledge
- You know the workflows, the regulations and the unwritten rules.
- Relationships
- Access to the customers, suppliers and partners who will decide whether the product succeeds.
- Credibility
- People in your field listen to you in a way they won't listen to a software company.
- Commitment
- Time and attention to shape the product and to sell it.
What we bring
The ability to build and run software.
- Product strategy
- Turning a problem into a clear scope and a sensible first release.
- Design and engineering
- A team that builds, ships and maintains the product.
- A reusable platform
- Sites, records, bookings, quotes, payments and agents already in place.
- Operating experience
- Lessons from earlier ventures on pricing, onboarding and support.
Commercial terms
Agreed for each venture, in writing.
There is no single template. Depending on the venture, a partnership might involve shared equity, revenue sharing, a paid build, or a combination. What matters is that both sides understand the arrangement and that incentives point the same way.
We discuss terms openly once we both believe the opportunity is real, and we put them in writing before significant work begins.
