The studio

Some companies we back. Some we build.

The Gossamer studio turns problems we see up close, in hospitals, labs and fields, into companies. We put in the first capital, the first product and the first go-to-market. Then we hand the keys to a founding team.

How it works

From problem to company in four moves.

  1. 01

    Find

    We start with a real problem, sourced from the clinicians, researchers and growers we work beside.

  2. 02

    Prove

    We test demand before we write code. We talk to buyers. We kill weak ideas fast.

  3. 03

    Build

    Product, brand and first customers. Our team does the work, side by side with the experts.

  4. 04

    Hand off

    We recruit a founding CEO, raise the first round and move to the board.

What every studio company gets

Everything a founder usually spends the first year finding.

  • Capital

    Our first check funds the build, all the way to first proof.

  • A go-to-market team

    Brand, positioning and first customers, from people who have done it before.

  • Experts in the room

    Clinicians, scientists and growers who live the problem every day.

Operators

Start on day 100, not day one.

We're always meeting experienced operators who want to lead a studio company. Product, clinical and commercial leaders welcome.
