Who we serve

01Founders

Not just a founder. The one who'd walk into a room and raise a million dollars before there's revenue, if the room believed them the way rooms believe founders everywhere else. We're that room. We back that audacity before anyone else is willing to, pre-everything, pre-product, pre-proof, because waiting for proof was never the point.

02

Fund managers and DFIs

A filtered, de-risked pipeline, with the data to show why.

03

Commercial partners

A program run end to end against outcomes you help set.

04

Universities and policy bodies

A working bridge between where builders start and where capital and regulation actually sit.

Records

01

INCUBATION

80+ startups incubated

Two cohorts were run independently before the Lisk partnership, and four delivered with Lisk since. The share of founders generating real revenue after the program has risen across those cohorts, dipping when the model first scaled into a commercial partnership, then climbing back above where it started.

Aya called this thing an incubation program when it's really a self-actualisation portal. The human layer for real.
