For founders
Build. We will handle the rest.
We go straight to engineers who would rather build than fundraise.
What we ask
Two weeks, then a milestone.
The audit is not a pitch meeting. You build in our room and we watch the work, because what you ship in two weeks tells us more than a deck tells us in two months.

Day one
What is waiting when you say yes.
Not a term sheet and a calendar invite. The things that otherwise cost a builder the first six months.
A room
A desk in the San Francisco office, beside the people building the rest of what we run.
The legal frame
Incorporation, the cap table and the agreements, done by people who have done it before.
Technical standards
The same review, testing and deployment discipline our own systems ship under.
Our engineers
On staff and beside you, so a good idea never dies waiting on a hire.
The network
Banking, legal, liquidity, data centers and manufacturing, through people we already work with.
Before you write
The questions builders send.
What do I need to have already?
Something you have shipped, and a clear idea of what you would ship next. A memo is enough to start and early is fine.
Do I have to move to San Francisco?
For the audit, yes, or as close to it as we can manage. After that we will talk about what the build actually needs.
What happens to my equity if you stop?
You keep what has unlocked and we stop taking more. The company stays yours and we will introduce you onward where we can.
Who owns the code your engineers write?
Your company does. Patterns carry across our systems; the source we write for you does not leave with us.
Send us what you have shipped.
A memo is enough. If you would rather write than fill in a form, that address is invest@he-vc.com.
