What makes us different?
#1 We do what the usual suspects don’t
We found ventures that arise from complex challenges of organizations. The solutions are therefore not simple tools. The complexity extends the time to market readiness, but our business model enables us to do this. This makes us the ideal founder for complex SaaS solutions.
#2 We are real founders
You’re not just a customer. We don’t operate on an hourly billing basis or with the wrong incentive structures. We want to build a venture together with you. Our commitment is to solve a complex problem together. This makes us real founders, not another agency.
#3 We are multi-disciplinary operators
We are real operators. We stand with our feet in the mud and have years of valuable experience in the world of SaaS. With our full-service team, we possess all the necessary skills for the entire lifecycle. This means that we do not shy away from complexity.

Our stages
For successfully building SaaS ventures, we go through the following stages.
Stage 1
Problem stage
A corporation, government department, or large SME approaches us with a complex challenge and we start delving deep into the issue. We conduct research, formulate and test hypotheses, run numerous interviews, and completely immerse ourselves in the world of the group experiencing the challenge to precisely understand the problem, the target audience, and the business opportunity.
Stage 2
Solution stage
Through Validation Tests, Pretotyping, Prototyping, PoCs, MVPs, and the like, we iteratively work towards the solution. In each step the solution is further refined based on the feedback from the target audience. At the end of this stage your organization has an actual solution for the complex challenge that can be readily implemented, since you are not only the problem owner, but also the first launching customer.
Stage 3
Incubation stage
After the problem is solved for one organization, it’s time to incubate and start building a SaaS company around the solution. To lead the new company, we bring in an experienced founder who is supported by our experienced venture building team. The first solution is further developed into an Exceptional Viable Product (EVP) and more launching customers are attracted.
Stage 4
Product-market fit stage
This stage is all about finding that legendary Product-Market Fit. With the first launching customers on board, we further test and experiment with different customer profiles, messaging, propositions, sales, and marketing activities to gain proper traction. The EVP is further developed into a proper product. You know once you have Product-Market Fit and you definitely know if you don’t.
Stage 5
Scaling stage
Scaling up time! With Product-Market Fit in place, it’s now about ramping up operations while keeping the important metrics in check. Growth should be fast, but financially solid and without losing sight of important quality indicators. As the company matures, it becomes increasingly independent. The first in-house employees are hired, and the operational involvement of the venture builder decreases.
Stage 6
Exit stage
Thanks to the strong foundation, the venture building team, existing playbooks, and strong leadership, acceleration happened fast and as ‘smoothly’ as can be. The customer base is large and the operations are solid. Together we prepare the company for an exit so that it is poised to become even greater. This can be a management buy-in/out, a partial or complete exit, or a major investor entering the scene.
