# Incubate > Incubation at Regenerate Capital: your idea, our team. Co-founder matching, a first product and a 90-day path to raise-ready, founder-led or studio-originated. URL: https://regenerate.capital/incubate/ Language: en · Other language: https://regenerate.capital/fr/incuber/index.md Publisher: Regenerate Capital (https://regenerate.capital) · Updated: 2026-09-25 --- [Home](https://regenerate.capital/) / [A hybrid model](https://regenerate.capital/model/) / Incubate 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. 01 ### Co-founder matching We introduce technical, commercial and operating co-founders from our network, and help you get the partnership right. 02 ### Founding capital and structure Pre-seed capital, incorporation, cap table design and the legal groundwork. 03 ### A first operating team Fractional leadership across product, growth and operations until you can hire your own. 04 ### An AI-native operating stack Our agents for research, outreach, content and operations, so three people work like fifteen. 05 ### Distribution from day one A launch plan, SEO and GEO foundations, and a community before the product ships. How it runs ## How it runs. 01 ### Fit A first call to understand the idea, the founder and the market. 02 ### Team We match co-founders and agree roles and equity in writing. 03 ### Build Ninety days of validation, product and first customers. 04 ### Raise We help you raise the first round and stay on the board.
