DESCRIPTION
Among the myriad of types of structures breeding startups (incubators, accelerators, etc.), a new successful model has emerged: the startup studio. Brand new, this model is already controversial, as show the announced IPO of Rocket Internet. Here is how we see the startup studio model: as being a 3rd co-founder.

What the H3CK
is a startup studio?
BUILDING PROJECTS BUILDING COMPANIES
“Startup Studios” are structures that build startups, on the contrary to
incubators and seed investors who focus on mentoring and financing startups.
That’s what we do!
• Managers build projects • Startup is internally financed • Easy to structure • Difficult to build independent
companies
• Entrepreneurs build startups • CEO, CTO and startup studio
have equal shares • Startups have their own team and
culture
Ex: the (in)famous Rocket Internet

How does it WORK
?
#1 Bring the essence of the idea
We find an addressable market and a way to smartly address it. Then we test it over, and over, and over again. Until
one idea sticks.
#2 Find the perfect co-founder
We recruit incredible talents, CEO- and CTO- material, have them meet the
product, and let the magic happen. The studio acts as the 3rd co-founder.
#3 CONTROL THE BUDGET
We provide comfort to our founders but spend money very, very carefully and
implement accounting tools from day 1.
#4 BRING THE THE BEST RESSOURCES
eFounders gathers a team of experts in marketing, design and development that invest 100% of its work and experience
in the startup’ development.
#5 BE A PERMANENT suPPORT
Pitfalls and great achievements are a daily matter. As a co-founder, we support
our startups, no matter what.
#6 MASTER TIME MANAGEMENT
Our experience, structure and processes help startups find the right pace.
Building a startup both requires speed and stamina.
#7 PROVIDe A (REAL) DYNAMIC NETWORK
We build startups in the same vertical (SaaS products), which provides a true,
strong and broad network.
