What the H3CK

is a startup studio?

BUILDING PROJECTS BUILDING COMPANIES

“Startup Studios” are structures that build startups, on the contrary to

incubators and seed investors who focus on mentoring and financing startups.

That’s what we do!

• Managers build projects • Startup is internally financed • Easy to structure • Difficult to build independent

companies

• Entrepreneurs build startups • CEO, CTO and startup studio

have equal shares • Startups have their own team and

culture

Ex: the (in)famous Rocket Internet

Just like a

How does it WORK

?

#1 Bring the essence of the idea

We find an addressable market and a way to smartly address it. Then we test it over, and over, and over again. Until

one idea sticks.

#2 Find the perfect co-founder

We recruit incredible talents, CEO- and CTO- material, have them meet the

product, and let the magic happen. The studio acts as the 3rd co-founder.

#3 CONTROL THE BUDGET

We provide comfort to our founders but spend money very, very carefully and

implement accounting tools from day 1.

#4 BRING THE THE BEST RESSOURCES

eFounders gathers a team of experts in marketing, design and development that invest 100% of its work and experience

in the startup’ development.

#5 BE A PERMANENT suPPORT

Pitfalls and great achievements are a daily matter. As a co-founder, we support

our startups, no matter what.

#6 MASTER TIME MANAGEMENT

Our experience, structure and processes help startups find the right pace.

Building a startup both requires speed and stamina.

#7 PROVIDe A (REAL) DYNAMIC NETWORK

We build startups in the same vertical (SaaS products), which provides a true,

strong and broad network.
