Co-Build Studio
We design the business with founders
and run it jointly.
The founder leads the product and direction; BridgeImpact’s executive directors take on missing functions such as finance, legal, sales and marketing.
The Gap
What early companies lack
is people to execute.
Training and mentoring matter. But at the hardest moment, a founder is always left with the same question: “So who brings the customers, and who sells?”
Early companies often lack people to win customers, sell and manage finances. In Co-Build Studio, our executive directors and execution partners carry out these functions directly.
Functional Co-Founder
Our directors join as “functional co-founders”.
Three roles work as one team. Back office and front office are covered by our leaders together with proven execution partners.
Founder
The centre of vision and product. Leads product development and the business idea.
Company, finance & legal
Incorporation, finance and accounting, legal, risk and operations.
Go-to-market, sales & marketing
Validation, strategy and goals, market entry, marketing and PR.
5-Phase Pipeline
Five phases
to commercialisation.
Each phase has entry and exit criteria agreed in advance. If they are not met, we pause the next phase and save resources.

Two Tracks
Two ways to work together,
depending on your stage.
Equity and fees are agreed in consultation, based on your stage and situation.
Co-founding
- Very early teams, from idea to just after incorporation
- The studio takes on C-level roles directly
- Key areas executed together or fully by us
- Whether and how much equity we take is agreed case by case
Acceleration
- Companies with the basics in place, preparing to enter and grow
- Diagnostic tools and methods; our directors take on functions where needed
- Focus on market entry, revenue, growth and fundraising
- Start at the phase that fits your stage
Alliance
We look for trade and partnership
between participating companies.
Among studio companies and partner firms, we first introduce execution resources such as IT, design and marketing, and look together for chances to become each other’s customers or suppliers and for public funding.
We are looking for founding teams to build with.
Even at the idea stage. Tell us where you are and what you are working through.
