Who we back
THE
RIGHT
FOUNDER
We don't work from a template. We look for strong founders early, often before there is a company.
Zero to one
Founders with an idea and no team yet
You have a clear insight but no company around it yet. We pressure-test the idea, then become the team that builds it: product, go-to-market and the first raise, before you burn runway hiring for each role.
Pre-seed
Founders with a product and no company around it
The product works. The sales engine, the brand, the investor story and the systems don't exist yet. We build the rest of the company so the product has something to stand on.
Growth stage
Companies at an inflection
You're stalled, pivoting, or growing faster than the founding team can run. We take on whole functions (product, marketing, sales, fundraising) and run them for as long as you need.
Global
Founders who need a full team now
You're building from Europe and need a full team this quarter. Our distributed team covers engineering, design, marketing, sales and research across time zones, so you skip the cost and delay of hiring from scratch.
What we build
THE FULL STACK
A full-stack venture studio builds every layer of a company together with its founders: product, go-to-market, capital and operations. When it believes in the company, it co-invests too.
Build it, then keep it running.
Validation, design and engineering: web platforms, mobile apps, AI agents and data systems, built for production. After launch, the same team hosts, maintains and improves what it built.
For WARM, Blizbi and Music Ecosystem Hives.
How we work on productCase studies
Built, and still running.
Three companies: the layers we built for each, and the ones we still run today.

OUR
PRINCIPLES
Before you commit, we tell you what it costs and whether we're the right fit. If we see a risk, we name it, and we expect the same honesty back.
We don't advise on the work, we do it: code, campaigns, sales pipelines, decks and data rooms. You get an embedded co-builder from day one, where others offer a board seat and a monthly check-in.
An MVP that demos well is not yet a company. We build for what comes after launch: paying customers, and systems that still hold a year later.
We take on new builds slowly, so each one gets senior people who know it well.
What founders say
“Top-tier technical skills combined with real transparency and partnership. I'd recommend Amplitude to any founder without hesitation.”
