HOW IT WORKS
The venturecake method:
“Add a layer, take a slice”
Every founder puts a share of their startup equity into the “batch cake” and gets a diversified piece of the whole “batch cake” in return.
Building the future in collaboration
By sharing success with all participating startups, and integrating them into our expanding ecosystem, we encourage collaboration, bring together the brightest minds and drive impactful innovation
