1 Day | Execution Workshop

Make a Bulletproof Plan

You will be getting hands-on help from serial entrepreneurs, designers and developers to make the right decisions that help you avoid the pitfalls we already know from other startups.

This way, instead of planning wrong and investing 10000€+ into the wrong part of your idea, you get a bullet proof roadmap.

30 Days | Validation

Build Customer Waitlist

We help you to build and test your marketing funnel.

Most startups loose time by waiting with this after the product and also loose out on insights worth 10.000€+ for the actual product development.

30 Days | Financing

Get Financing (Optional)

If you don’t want to boostrap your startup, we will help you generate 10+ investor appointments within 30 days.

You will learn how to reach out efficiently and what to look out during a pitch.

Hint: Many of our startups don’t even need financing because our process is so slim! Challenge us, and we’ll find a way to bootstrap for your business model!

30 Days to 10 Weeks | Minimum Viable Product

Build the Product

We release multiple software products every month. Rely on:

Efficient no-code MVPs (quick and cheap) or full products (scalable and reliable)
Faster time to market than any individual or corporate team could
A battle proven tech stack for startups
Solutions for problems - before they happen

Estimate

Monthly | Gain Customers, Scale & Grow

Get Customers

Instead of trying out random strategies, we help you based on our experience:

What marketing funnels will actually work for your startup
How you can get customers reproducibly
How to pick an agency/freelancer/employee to execute the strategy at scale

Say hello to:

Getting a kickass CTO who joins your pitches

Working with a “co founder” who is in it for the long game

A team of founders that will help you at the right time but not be on your payroll when you don’t need them

A team of designers & developers who will finally get your product live

A value focused attitude that helps you build an awesome startup, rather than empty valuation

Thousands of euros saved through FounderBlocks partnerships with Scaleway or Notion

How it works

Our Pricing

We don’t make a profit to finance a pyramid - we pay all our employees equally. Our salaries are adjusted according to a city/county factor and according to social insurance status.
We are making a living of getting founders to market.
We invoice amounts far below the market prices we see and know for the results we get.
We offer revenue share deals to help you when liquidity is a problem.

Our packages are made to be so affordable that most people can even bootstrap their startup, which they couldn’t if they had to hire a full team.

We consciously built our pricing such that we only get what we’re worth, if we help you reach your goals. We optimize for a long term collaboration.

Too expensive?

We’ve partnered with companies like Scaleway, Notion and others so you can save thousands of Euros per month for your servers and other tools as well as do publications with some of our partners as a FounderBlocks startup.

We also know, that not every startup can afford a team of experts to support them right from the start. Thats why we’ve packed our knowledge and experience into the FounderBook.

Frequently Asked Questions

We get you to the market. We will most prominently:

Develop your business model as cofounders
Build your product with our shared developer team
Create your marketing strategy with you
Establish growth hacking strategies

Oftentimes we are helping our founders with other roadblocks they encounter - from finding and convincing investors to coaching them on building daily habits.

We bill you for our results. We don’t provide ‘coachings’ or ‘developer hours,’ but rather tangible outcomes like ‘your first 10 customers’ or ‘your live, usable app.

This is obviously very case dependent. In almost all cases, we get founders to their first paying customers with less than 5000€ budget.

With this, your possible investment valuation will raise by a high multiple of that.

MVP Calculator

Of course! We’ll help you build your pitchdeck and are happy to join you on your pitches as part of your team.

We will also get you in contact with investors we know if they fit you.

First of all, we are founders, not a software agency. We’ll have growth hacks ready for you way beyond just development.

Speaking of the development part of our work - we all know those stories of startups being drowned in costs by external partners without progressing in a meaningful way.

By offering revenue share deals, we’re actually incentivised to make you successful and not just bill hours.

This means that in many cases, as co-founders, we advise you on which features actually make sense and proactively give you suggestions and experience along the way that will save you a lot of money and time. Through our startup culture, you therefore get lean and fast solutions to problems, instead of clunky features that require thousands of lines of code and paralyze you in the short and long term.

We’ve had regular cases where people built their products with agencies and we ended up throwing out huge parts of the codebase for external tools, allowing them to progress much faster than they ever did before, ultimately getting their businesses unstuck from the “agency syndrome”.

Glad you asked! Generally, compared to most cofounders:

We are actually available. You’re likely here because you haven’t found one who’s actually qualified.
We’re far more experienced than most cofounders we’ve ever seen - having launched dozens of startups.
While most cofounders promise to launch a startup in 6 months, most actually take up to a year to either do it or even completely fail. We know all those setbacks that will be in your way and can launch you in a matter of 8-12 weeks.
Since we know where you’ll actually need us, we’re usually less expensive than a full or even part time cofounder.

Like an accelerator program, we have a ready made structure that you can go through to launch your startup. We also have an application phase, since we are only interested in working with startups who actually have a chance of success.

Unlike an accelerator, we:

don’t work in batches
continue working with you after you’ve launched
actually help you hand on rather than just coaching you

Of course! We are your cofounder and you can rely on us being there if things go south.

We all know that sometimes things go wrong - we are doing a lot of preventive measures and we’re learning with every new case.

However, if you do have a downtime, we’ll usually know about it from our monitoring systems before you hear it from one of your customers.

In the rare occasions that something important goes wrong, we’ll help you no matter what time of day, night or week. We’ll mobilize everyone from our team and fix such problems usually within less than an hour.

Yes, we can help you with due diligences on the technical level. (If needed we can pull in our legal partner as well who is specialized on tech startups.)

In our role we’ve seen more startup codebases than most entrepreneurs in their life. As such, we are happy to help you evaluate your startups.

Please mind that our startups and investors from our existing network always have priority, so please contact us as early as possible to make sure we can get everything done in time.

Just book a call with us via this website to get started.

Our Core Team

These are the heroes of our startups - our constant core team. Ocasionally, we’ll pull in additional contractors and partners from our network to more effectively help you.

This means: every single person is hand picked - without exception! - and aided several startups on their way. We ourselves have made the experience that classical outsourcing doesn’t work - a simple “working off requirements by service providers” more often than not kills young companies.
