Qoretx Venture Studio: Frequently Asked Questions

It means exactly that – Qoretx will never send you a bill. We cover all the development, design, and operational costs with our internal team. In exchange, we negotiate an equity share in your company (just like a co-founder would). This stake reflects a co-founding position representative of the wide breadth and depth of technology, management experience, daily operational support and strategic guidance Qoretx contributes. We only make money when your startup succeeds (e.g. raising a round or exiting down the line). There's no fine print where you owe fees later – we share risk and reward, 100%.

Unlike accelerators, we don't just give you a little funding and generic mentorship – we actually become part of your team and build the company with you. We're in the trenches writing code, crafting strategy, getting customers, whatever it takes. And unlike a software agency, we don't work for a fee while juggling other clients. We're invested co-founders, so we're dedicated to your startup's success long-term. Think of Qoretx as a co-founder that brings a whole company's worth of talent and resources, rather than you having to hire an agency (and manage it) or go through a short-term incubator program. It's a unique model: we're your partners, not providers.

The equity percentage varies case by case, but our goal is to be fair and founder-friendly. Our stake reflects our role as a working member of the founding team: we fund and build the technology and put the legal, administrative, accounting and marketing functions in place, with no fees charged to you. Typically, our stake is enough to make it worthwhile for us, but you are the co-founder with a representative stake in the company and lead the vision and major day to day decisions and operations. Remember, we position ourselves as co-founders – not acquirers. We want you to feel comfortable with the split, structuring the entrepreneurs shares to vest over time with full vesting upon major events to protect your liquidity events. You'll still lead the company; we're here to support and accelerate you, not to take over. All terms are discussed transparently upfront, and there are no surprises. In short: you get the team and resources, we get to work with visionaries and a shared shot at the moon. Your vision stays in your hands, now with extra muscle behind it.

Qoretx owns the NeuroFlow code so we can maintain it, much as a business can run on Excel without having to maintain Excel. The company we form together holds a permanent license to NeuroFlow, and that license can be sold along with the company's other assets.

We partner with founders who have a solid idea or prototype (and ideally some early validation or traction). You don't need a fully formed team – that's the point, we provide that – but you should have deep knowledge of your market or product concept. If you've got an early product or a few customers/users and you're struggling to scale due to lack of team/expertise, that's our sweet spot. Even if you just have a well-researched idea and tons of passion, reach out – our in-house venture studio can help flesh it out and build it from scratch. We care most about dedicated founders with promising ideas. If that's you and you're losing momentum because you're solo, let's talk!

We primarily focus on technology-enabled businesses with scalable models. This includes SaaS platforms, marketplace businesses, consumer applications, and enterprise solutions. We're industry-agnostic but tend to gravitate toward sectors where our team has prior experience and networks, such as fintech, healthtech, enterprise software, and consumer services. The most important factor for us is not the specific industry but rather the founder's domain expertise, the market opportunity, and whether we believe our team can add significant value to accelerate growth.

Our partnership is designed to be long-term. Unlike typical service providers or accelerators with fixed timeframes, we're in this journey with you as equity partners. Practically speaking, we're most intensively involved during the critical scaling phase (typically 12-24 months), where we're actively building, developing, and growing your business alongside you. As the company matures and you're able to build out your own full-time team, our day-to-day involvement may evolve, but our commitment to your success remains. We're aligned with your long-term success through our equity stake, just like any co-founder would be.
