Starting a business is never easy – and something you should never do alone. Whether you know exactly how you want us to help, or you’re starting from the ground up and unsure where to even start – we can jump in and help you succeed.
We provide an efficient and often needed bootstrap-function assist in whatever areas make sense. If we can’t provide something, we provide access to whomever can. Our goal is to help you make a succesful business & an attractive investment while also helping you avoid the pitfalls of inexperience along the way. We are a team of both technical and business juggernauts and we’ve got your back.
Consider us your venture fund of Time — as us investing our expertise and assistance can be way more valuable to a business than a monetary investment.
