We co-found companies from zero.
A serial entrepreneur joins you as co-founder and founding investor, with up to €200k in inception capital and three years of building alongside you.
Most founders fail not from a lack of ideas, but from a lack of experience at inception. We change that, building beside you from day one, so you focus on vision, not survival.
Why it works
We're a venture studio
It means picking the right founders and building together.
Our studio partners come on as founding investors. They're all serial founders themselves; we only lead where we've been.
We'll take the right person even before they've had the idea.
Every serial entrepreneur has a specific domain expertise to support founders.
Every founder gets the support needed to grow as an authentic leader.

Tips before joining our Studio Open Day
Before applying to The Delta Studio Open Day: read our investment thesis first. Skip the AI-polished copy, say what you're building in one clear sentence. Show us customer validations, not just a prototype, and know your real market size and competitors. Capital doesn't make you an executor, the founders who get a good reply are the ones who've spent their energy talking to clients, not refining words.

Here's the framework to identify which service verticals are ripe for disruption.
