People Have An Idea To Start A Company

Many of these ideas have huge potential buried in them. Most need only a small amount of funding to get started.

The Problem

92%

Of People Won’t Or Can’t Take Action On That Idea

This means millions of new ventures never get started, trillions of dollars of lost economic opportunity, billions in potential wealth not generated, and millions of jobs not created.

A New Approach

We provide the funding, resources and support needed to take ideas from start to scale.

Our innovative Pebble Fund gives Builders just what’s needed to test their ideas. Through our Idea Accelerator, Builders learn world-class experimentation approaches, low-code tools, and the art of being scrappy.

We’re excellent at seeing the hidden potential in ideas and we’re proven experts in getting novel ideas off the ground. Now we’re doing that with thousands of Builders across the globe, fueling them with capital, resources and support. We help ventures of all shapes and sizes achieve their fullest potential and greatest return. And we’re just getting started
