Bornfight

Bornfight works as a venture studio: rather than taking client projects, it co-founds new companies with founders and supplies the people who build and grow them. Alongside its own investment, it brings product builders, business operators and fund-raisers into each venture and helps find further capital as the company grows.

Products and services

• Co-founding and investment: puts its own team and money into ideas it sees long-term potential in, sharing the risk and the return.
• MVP development: builds and iterates first versions of a product, backed by competitor and market analysis.
• Product development and management: carries a product forward once it has launched.
• Operations and administration: handles day-to-day running so founders can concentrate on the product.
• Growth support: strategy and goal setting, team and leadership building, and scaling sales and marketing.

Who it works with

Founders with a business idea but without the team, expertise or early funding to build it themselves.
