Co-founder matching
We introduce technical, commercial and operating co-founders from our network, and help you get the partnership right.

02 · Incubate
Your idea, our team.
You bring the idea, or we bring the thesis. Either way, we build the company with you: co-founders, structure, a first product, first customers and a path to capital.
Regenerate Capital incubates companies on two tracks. Founder-led: you bring the idea, and the studio brings team, structure and capital. Studio-originated: the studio brings a thesis and recruits a founder. Both follow a 90-day plan from validation to raise-ready.
The practice
Do you have the right team?
A strong idea without the right team goes nowhere. We’ve watched it happen dozens of times.
Incubation fixes that early. We help you find co-founders, set up the company properly, ship a first product and get in front of customers and capital.
We’ve done this before: MLG Blockchain, TrustSwap, Alpaca Network and Gatewayz.ai were all built from zero.
Two tracks
Pick the one that fits.
Founder-led
You bring the idea. We bring the team, structure, capital and distribution.
Studio-originated
We bring a thesis we’ve tested. We recruit a founder with the obsession to lead it.
The first 90 days
From idea to raise-ready.
01
Weeks 1 to 4 · Validate
Twenty customer conversations, a sharp problem statement and a test that proves people will pay.
02
Weeks 5 to 8 · Build and sell
The smallest product that works, in real hands, and your first paying customers.
03
Weeks 9 to 12 · Raise-ready
Narrative, deck, data room and an investor list, with the studio behind you.
What the studio brings
What a studio company gets.

Pre-seed capital, incorporation, cap table design and the legal groundwork.

Fractional leadership across product, growth and operations until you can hire your own.
An AI-native operating stack
Our agents for research, outreach, content and operations, so three people work like fifteen.
Distribution from day one
A launch plan, SEO and GEO foundations, and a community before the product ships.

Questions
Straight answers.
I have an idea but no co-founder. Can you help?
Yes. That’s the founder-led track. We introduce co-founders from our network and help you structure the partnership.
How much equity does the studio take?
It depends on what we bring and how early we join. We agree it in writing before work starts, case by case.
Do I have to move to Québec?
No. We work remote-first with founders anywhere.
