The mission of 23 Ventures is to help more startups enter that 1% success bracket from the 99% that typically fail. We aim to guide promising ideas to achieve their full potential and thrive.
We are focused on tech, web3, gaming, consumer-facing businesses, creator-led content brands, AI, and integrating the latest technologies. We also emphasize organic marketing and community-driven growth strategies.
We don't charge a penny for the education and guidance we provide. Our model is results-driven: we charge after you start seeing results. We take 6% equity and 10% of revenue in the first year, 7% in the second year, and 4% in the third year, after your company reaches milestones. We also connect SaaS-based entrepreneurs to the right networks.
We take 6% equity in each startup that is part of 23 Ventures and actively supported in its growth journey.
Fill out the form we have for everyone. All applicants go through two screening phases to ensure they are a good fit for the program.
We invest in ventures with the potential to deliver measurable results. We focus on building communities and believe that understanding every entrepreneur's story is as important as building their business. Our process is gamified, making it an exclusive and dynamic experience for both founders and mentors. Only 15% of applicants are selected in the screening phase, and this reduces to 5-7% after completing the course.
