03Confidentiality

NDAs and your materials.

Please share a link to non-confidential materials first: a deck, one-pager or data room. We sign NDAs promptly when there is mutual interest, before we ask for anything sensitive.

Our forms take links, not file uploads, so you stay in control of who can see your materials and for how long.

We review many opportunities and may already be evaluating or building something similar to yours. Submitting doesn’t create a confidentiality obligation or a commitment on either side until an NDA or other agreement is signed; see our terms for submissions.

04After you submit

What happens next.

Seek investment: We aim to give initial feedback within 72 hours of receiving a complete package.
Build with the studio: We read every studio submission. If there is a potential fit, we will be in touch to arrange a conversation.
Lead or join a venture: We keep operator profiles on file and contact you when a venture needs your experience, or sooner if a role is open now.
Propose a partnership: Partnership inquiries go to the team responsible. If there is a fit, we will propose a conversation.

Every submission is stored in our inquiry register and routed to the team responsible, with a confirmation on screen as soon as it is received.

05Questions

Common questions.

Which route should I choose?

If you have a company and are raising capital, seek investment. If you have an idea, a problem you know well or an early project and want hands-on help building it, choose the studio. If you want to lead or join a venture, send your profile as an operator. If you represent an organization, propose a partnership.

Can I submit to more than one route?

Choose the closest one. We read every submission and will move it to the right team if another route fits better.

What should I not send?

Confidential information, trade secrets or personal data about others. Share non-confidential materials first; we sign NDAs promptly when there is mutual interest.

Can I send files?

Our forms take links, not uploads. A link to a deck, document or data room works best, and you stay in control of access.

Who reads my submission?

The people responsible for that route: the investment team for investment submissions, the studio team for studio and operator submissions, and the relevant lead for partnerships.

Will you tell me if it is a no?

For complete investment submissions, yes: we aim to give initial feedback within 72 hours. For other routes, we contact you when there is a potential fit, and we tell you if we are not taking a studio concept forward.
