We cofound ambitious companies with
people.
WE BELIEVE
Great entrepreneurs can make the largest impact on the world.
OUR MODEL
PHASE 1:
PHASE 2:
PHASE 3:
PHASE 4:
PHASE 5:
We find world-class talent.
We develop ambitious ideas.
We cofound companies.
We focus on early profitability.
We enable hypergrowth.
We partner with proven performers who are ready to embark on a 5-10 year journey with us to build a large business. Having an idea for a company is not a prerequisite.
Future founders join our team as Entrepreneurs in Residence (EIRs) to work hands-on with portfolio companies and intensively research strategies for their own ventures.
When ready, EIRs become CEOs & cofounders of their own companies with funding, a significant ownership stake, salary, and autonomy.
Mechanism’s domain experts work hands-on with CEOs to reach profitability and build infrastructure across growth, product, finance, legal, etc.
Once profitable, we work with CEOs to make market size their only constraint as we provide resources to support scale, align incentives, and leverage the mechanisms that drive growth.
