A venture studio creates startups. Usually they provide the team, strategic direction and resources until product-market fit. At Automate Venture we match Domain Services Experts and Automation Experts together to create co-founder teams. Working closely together, we help identify, test and validate a business opportunity. We provide everything needed to be successful - including resources, guidance and support.
Not at all - we’re looking for talented, ambitious people who want to become co-founders. Once your application is successful, we’ll match you with a co-founder that complements your skills, either a Domain Expert or an Automation Expert. Together, we'll find a business opportunity to test and validate, so we reach product-market fit and launch out as a business (for you to lead).
After reviewing your application, if you're a good fit we'll invite you to a first-stage interview. If that goes well, we'll invite you to a virtual bootcamp with other co-founders. You'll workshop a business opportunity and present to our panel of advisors. Successful candidates will then begin the 6 month intensive to identify, test and validate a business.
We're currently accepting everyone from the USA, Canada, UK and the EU. If you live elsewhere, subscribe to the newsletter to get updated for when we expand to other geographies.
We provide initial funding by providing all the resources you'll need to validate the business opportunity. Once we validate the business opportunity, yes we plan to provide the option of additional funding through us (or our advisor/partner network).
Yes, all successful applicants will get a living wage through the 6 month intensive. This will enable you to give 100% of your time and effort to launching a successful, scalable business. This is your opportunity to become an entrepreneur.
Don’t be discouraged, you should still continue your entrepreneur journey. Subscribe to the newsletter to join our community as we'll share resources, events plus news about future opportunities.
