We build ventures
from zero - with
founders, not at them.
Studio co-builder for founders and corporates pre-MVP. We bring thesis, team, product and capital in one operating motion - and stay in the trenches for the first 90 days.
Most great ideas die between the whiteboard and the world. The gap is not capital - it is the missing operator who has built this before. As exited founders, ex-McKinsey operators and venture builders, we have lived every version of zero-to-one. The pattern that works is uncomfortably simple: a sharp thesis, a real founder, and a small team that ships every week. We bring all three.
The services
we bring
Concrete engagements drawn from two decades of building, scaling and exiting ventures - and from operating playbooks refined across McKinsey, exited founders and our studio network.
Talk to us about your venture5-day proprietary research sprint that pressure-tests an idea against market timing, behavioural shift, and unit economics - before a line of code.
We co-find or co-become the founder. Domain operator + studio team = the partnership most new ventures lack at day one.
Embedded product, design and engineering pod working inside your venture. You ship a real product, in market, in 90 days.
Studio cheque alongside the work - aligned, founder-friendly, structured to attract the next round, not block it.
Weekly evidence reviews, monthly board ops, quarterly thesis revisits. The discipline McKinsey teams use, sized for a 3-person company.
Senior advisors, design partners and first customers from a network built across two decades of building and exiting.
How we work
Map
White-space mapping and founder-market fit interviews. Six weeks of structured discovery before we agree to build.
Form
Founding team locked, thesis signed, studio terms agreed. One page each - no 60-slide decks.
Build
90-day embedded sprint. Weekly demos, monthly evidence reviews. The studio team is on Slack daily.
Hand off
Founder owns product, team and capital plan. Studio steps back to advisory cadence, ready to lean back in at scale moments.
Gold standard,
not guesswork.
Two decades of building has taught us what to keep and what to throw away. The play that compounds: anchor on a real wedge, ship narrow, win one customer cohort completely, then expand.
Across fintech, healthtech, edtech and B2B SaaS - from thesis to live product.
Median time from signed thesis to a product live with paying or piloting customers.
Every venture we back gets hands-on time from the Digit Two core team.
The right moment
You see the wedge but don't yet have the founding partner or the build muscle to test it.
Strong operators who want a studio that has done zero-to-one before - not a passive backer.
You need startup speed and conviction inside your distribution and balance sheet.
