Frequently Asked Questions
What Industries do you specialize in?
We focus primarily on fintech, sustainability, and healthcare—industries where innovation creates tangible, long-term impact. That said, we're open to any vertical where we see strong product-market potential and visionary founders.
How does the equity model work?
We reduce our standard development rate in exchange for a small equity stake. This creates aligned incentives—we succeed when you do. Each agreement is customized based on your company’s stage, team, and traction.
Can we apply if we're not in fintech or sustainability?
Yes. While we prioritize these sectors, we’ve worked with startups across multiple industries—from logistics and healthtech to creator tools. If your idea is bold, your team is strong, and you’re solving a real problem—we’re listening.
Are there any regional limits?
We primarily work with startups based in Switzerland and Central Europe, where our network is strongest. However, we’re open to exceptional teams from other regions, as long as there’s timezone alignment and strong communication.
How long does the collaboration usually last?
Our core collaboration typically lasts between 3 to 8 months—enough to design, build, and launch a market-ready product. But we don’t stop there. We aim to be long-term partners, supporting your startup through growth, fundraising, and ongoing strategic decisions.
Which stage of startups do you focus on?
We work with early-stage startups—from pre-seed to Series A. Whether you're validating an idea, building an MVP, or optimizing for scale, we tailor our involvement to match your current needs and long-term goals.
