How it works
The support you receive
You bring the skills and reputation. We build everything else. You own the business. We take 7%.
Setup
Year 1 costs covered
Entity formation, licensing coordination, insurance, banking, bookkeeping. All the scary stuff that has to be right before the first customer.
Software and playbooks
Year 1 costs covered
Scheduling, invoicing, marketing, customer support, CRM, and playbooks for all the process.
Finding customers
$25,000 per business
We put $25,000 into demand generation for each business we back, and we run it with you: brand, website, ads, referral programs, and lead response.
Hiring
No recruiting fees for your first 10 hires
When it's time to add people to your team, we help you recruit, screen, and onboard so the business can grow beyond you.
