Join Builders: Crafting the Future of Work & Life

At Builders Startup Studio, we're not just creating companies; we're reshaping the work-life experience. Our ambition goes beyond mere problem-solving — it's about redefining how millions find joy and functionality in their daily routines. We've positively impacted over a million working lives, and we're just getting started.

As we spearhead ventures that bridge work and life, we seek exceptional Business Founders with a vision that aligns with ours. Our studio acts as the supportive third founder, bringing infrastructure, expertise, and a proven model for success.

🎯 As a Business Founder, you will:

• Lead the validation of promising ideas we've researched.
• Drive the brand's development, sales strategy, networking, product creation, and team formation.
• Enjoy the backing of our dedicated studio team, ensuring you focus on what truly matters: building and scaling.

🦾 Your Technical Co-founder will champion the software's first version, taking charge of product development, infrastructure, and team dynamics.

Our Entrepreneurial Journey Together:

1. Discover Phase (1-4 weeks): As an Entrepreneur-in-Residence, collaborate with us to unearth and validate transformative business prospects.
2. Shape Phase (10 weeks): Harness the collective prowess of our core team to craft a prototype, devise a brand strategy, and target an initial market. Here, we also initiate the search for your Technical Co-founder.
3. Create Phase (6-8 months): Upon success, we formalize the company, infusing it with a €300K investment (50% dedicated to the studio core team) over 12 months. Launch your product and celebrate your first paying customers.
4. Scale Phase (6-8 months): Refine, expand, and grow, securing loyal customers, building a dedicated team, and raising Series A funding.
