Build Ventures That Actually Matter
Starting September 2025, we're bringing together founders who want to create real businesses—not just pitch decks. This isn't about theory or frameworks you'll never use.
Our twelve-month program connects you with people who've been through the messy reality of building companies. You'll work alongside other founders, test ideas in real markets, and figure out what actually works for your venture.
Based in Perth, the program runs through mid-2026 with sessions designed around people who are building, not just planning.
How We Actually Work Together
Forget the standard startup playbook. We focus on what matters for your specific venture, at your specific stage. Every business faces different challenges—that's where the real learning happens.
Peer Learning Groups
You'll meet every two weeks with the same cohort of founders. These sessions aren't lectures—they're working meetings where you bring real challenges and leave with actionable approaches. Most participants say the peer connections end up being more valuable than any single lesson.
Market Testing Cycles
Instead of spending months on business plans, you'll run quick experiments to validate (or invalidate) your assumptions. Each cycle takes three to four weeks, giving you time to gather real customer feedback before your next cohort meeting.
One-on-One Advisory
Monthly sessions with advisors who've built businesses in Australian and Asian markets. These aren't generic mentorship calls—you book time when you're facing specific decisions about product direction, market entry, or operational challenges.
Resource Access
You get access to our network of legal advisors, accountants, and technical specialists who understand early-stage ventures. No more wasting money on services designed for established companies. These professionals work with startups regularly.
Financial Modelling Support
Build realistic financial projections that actually help you make decisions. We'll help you understand unit economics, runway calculations, and funding requirements—but only when your venture reaches the stage where these become relevant priorities.
Investor Readiness
If raising capital makes sense for your business model, we'll help you prepare. But not everyone needs venture funding—and we're honest about when bootstrapping or alternative financing might serve your goals better.
Meet Some of Our Advisors
Our advisory team includes founders who've scaled businesses across different industries and markets. They join cohort sessions periodically and are available for targeted advice when you're working through specific challenges. These aren't celebrity entrepreneurs—they're people who still remember what early-stage building feels like.
Jasper Lundqvist
Built and exited a B2B SaaS company over seven years. Now splits time between advising early-stage tech founders and running a small fund focused on practical software businesses.
Sienna Gallagher
Launched three consumer brands across Australia and Southeast Asia. Knows the reality of inventory, margins, and customer acquisition for physical products—and helps founders avoid expensive mistakes.
Moira Brennan
Scaled a professional services firm from solo practice to thirty-person team. Specializes in helping service-based founders build systems that don't require working eighty-hour weeks indefinitely.
Foundation Phase
Get clear on your customer, problem, and initial solution direction. Run your first validation experiments and connect with your cohort. By the end of this phase, you'll know whether your initial assumptions hold up—or need serious revision.
Building Phase
Create your minimum viable offering and get it in front of real customers. This phase is all about learning from direct market feedback. You'll probably pivot at least once—that's normal and expected.
Growth Foundations
Once you've validated basic product-market fit, we focus on the systems and processes you need for sustainable growth. Operations, team building, and customer acquisition become the main priorities here.
Launch & Scale
Execute your go-to-market strategy and establish the foundations for your next growth stage. We'll help you plan what comes after the program ends—whether that's raising capital, bootstrapping revenue growth, or bringing on team members.
