The studio

We don't just invest in companies.
We build them.

We start before the company exists.

We identify opportunities, test ideas, bring together the people needed to build them, and provide the environment required to move from zero to traction.

When a venture proves itself, we help it become independent.

The venture building system

From opportunity to independence.

  1. 01

    Discover

    Find a problem worth solving.

  2. 02

    Validate

    Test whether the opportunity deserves resources.

  3. 03

    Assemble

    Bring together the people needed to build it.

  4. 04

    Build

    Create the product and put it into the market.

  5. 05

    Grow

    Find customers, revenue and repeatability.

  6. 06

    Back

    Bring in additional capital when the evidence supports it.

  7. 07

    Independence

    Build an independent company, team and identity.

Independent teams

The goal isn't to build a bigger Naqqash.
The goal is to build independent companies.

Every venture needs people who can own it.

We build small, focused teams around individual opportunities and give them the autonomy to turn those opportunities into companies.

Small teams. Real ownership.

Diagram: Naqqash starts three ventures. Each venture has its own team and product, and each becomes an independent company.

Inside the studio

Ventures in motion.

We build in the open where we can. Each venture is shown here once it is ready to be public. A stage is shown only when it is confirmed.
