02 — Is this you?
Most companies we talk to aren’t failing.
They have customers who stayed and a product that works. What’s missing is the time, money or team to finish the job.
That’s us. Let’s talk- 01
Customers still pay, but growth stopped a while ago.
- 02
The product works. The company around it doesn't.
- 03
Runway, energy or investor interest is running out.
- 04
You'd rather see it rebuilt than shut down.
03 — How it works
Three steps. Nothing binding until you sign.
- Step 01
Tell us about it
Send a few lines about the company. A person reads every message and replies within a week.
- Step 02
We take a look
We study the customers, the product and the books, and tell you plainly whether we're a fit.
- Step 03
Terms in writing
Price, structure and the first 100 days, agreed in writing before you sign anything.
04 — The platform
We build the systems under every company we run.
Being built with our first companies. Each one moves onto the same systems, so every turnaround starts further ahead than the last.

Do I lose control of my company?
In a turnaround, we take control so we can fix how it runs. You can keep a stake and stay involved. If you're an early-stage founder, you keep control.
What happens to my team?
Good people stay. The team that knows your customers is worth keeping, and we plan around them.
Is this confidential?
Yes. Everything you share stays confidential, from your first message onward.
How quickly will I hear back?
Within a week. A person, not an autoresponder, reads every message.
What happens after we agree?
The same written 100-day plan every time: control handed over by day 3, the product stable by day 21, new pricing by day 50, a sales process by day 60, and platform migration planned by day 75.
My company hasn't stalled. Is this for me?
Possibly. We also fund early-stage founders who are already shipping, and build alongside them until institutional investors come calling.
