Build 
We partner with individual talents and provide them with resources and expertise to build impactful companies.
We commit to innovative ventures right from the beginning.
During the initial three months, entrepreneurs iterate solutions and test commercial solutions at our coworking space while we provide mentorship and domain knowhow. After that, we incorporate a company, find a cofounder, provide the starting capital, and leverage our network to achieve product-market fit.
