• "The success of a startup is based on the provision of expertise rather than the provision of Money" is my motto. Unfortunately, many entrepreneurs miss it. I have cofounded FasterCapital and validated the model from the beginning. I have worked with more than 30 entrepreneurs to validate the model over five years. FasterCapital has currently more than 50 companies that graduated from its technical cofounder program and more than 450 companies in all of its programs. FasterCapital has also more than +1000 regional partners worldwide who represent FasterCapital with more than 500 offices.
• FasterCapital is a new type of incubator with ambition to solve one of the biggest problems in the incubation industry which is the lack of expertise and human resources needed to build/grow a business. Our model has been validated with many startups so far and it proves to be a great success. We complement what the entrepreneur lacks. Our model is called "co-funding & co-founding" meaning that FasterCapital will come as a cofounder (technical or business cofounder) and as a co-funder investing 50% of the money needed in the form of work per equity. This will enable non-technical entrepreneurs to find the right technical partner to help them build the company and technical entrepreneurs to find the business partner who helps in sales/marketing and scaling. My responsibilities:
• Setting up the model for the 'co-founder and co-funder'.
• Refining and improving on the model gradually over a period of 5 years.
• Supervise personally the development of each project both technically, legally and commercially.
• Validate the startup submitted with the other cofounders to decide on which to invest it, what kind of equity FasterCapital will be getting.
