startup as a service
We turn your idea into
a business that you own
Make it gives the opportunity to CEOs, Executives, Business Angels
and Corporations to outsource their startup projects to Professional Startup Builders.
Brilliant idea, huge opportunity cost
We know your opportunity cost is huge, but you don’t have to live with regrets. We have created “Startup as a Service” : a whole team of professional venture builders dedicated to testing, developing and growing your startup.
How “Startup as a Service” works
Investing in startups is extremely exciting (and we can give you access to a highly valuable deal flow if you are interested!)
But with "Startup as a Service", we are taking startup investment to another level by giving you the unique opportunity to invest in your own startup.
In this collaboration, you'll provide the idea, take on the role of “investor” and decide on your level of involvement in the operations of the startup.
We’ll integrate your project within the startup studio just like it was ours. And, we’ll take care of everything to turn your idea into a valuable business.
It's basically like buying your own Formula 1 racing team: you define the vision and we bring in the best engineers, team, car and driver.
What we will do
It is also possible to invest in an idea suggested by Make it if you want to own a startup but do not have any specific project in mind.
Risks & benefits
To minimize your risk and maximize your return,
we'll work in 2 phases.
Market Validation
The first step is to validate that a market exists. The best way to do this is to quickly release a first version of the product into the market and acquire your first customers.
It usually takes us 4 months to turn an idea into a revenue-generating startup. (Yes, you read that right! Only 4 months.) And this can be achieved with an initial investment starting from 15000€*, which basically represents your maximum risk.
*Depending on the type of project and your level of involvement in the operations.
Scale or Fail
The project doesn’t generate the expected market traction? No big deal! An idea may be perfect on paper, but the market decides whether it has a future or not.
After this first step, we either observe that there is no real market for the project - and you'll be happy because we'll "fail" fast and cheap - or we get tangible results that will allow us to raise the funds needed to grow the startup.
We Are Professional Startup Builders
At Make it, we use our strategic and execution capabilities to create and grow tech startups on a daily basis.
Our Unfair Advantage
Step #01 - We generate traction as a mean to validate the riskiest assumptions
Is it a pain worth solving? Is someone going to pay for my solution? Who? How much? What’s the cost of customer acquisition?
We have developed a 6th sense allowing us to extract these assumptions and (in)validate them. Not by brainstorming or conducting a market research but by putting a first version of the solution in the market, generating traction, analyzing how the market behaves, measuring the results and iterating..
You're only 4 months away from owning a revenue-generating startup
Hugues, business angel, launched his startup with us
I had this idea to build an app to help people with epilepsy. Make it created a prototype over the weekend that was very quickly tested by different stakeholders (patients, neurologists...). Make it's methodology and technical skills allowed us to iterate very quickly at low cost and to pivot immediately …
