Redefining venture building

We help founders pre-empt failure and succeed using our in-house tools, teams & tactics.


We build companies to succeed

Most technology investors look for outliers. They do well by making 100 bets, 99 of which may fail but the 100th which will return 10,000x. That means that investors have more interest in your potential than your outcome.

We think differently. We believe that being an entrepreneur should have a high probability of delivering you the life and success that you want from it. We fund businesses to succeed at scale, not to scale at all cost.


Why Inaugural exists

We are experts in incubating companies. Our founding team has a combined experience of 40 years in start-ups and high growth technology companies including Y Combinator, Google, Apple and Entrepreneur First. During that time we've seen a pattern in how people build companies:

  1. Someone decides to start a company.
  2. The find an idea
  3. They raise funding, hire a team, build the idea.
  4. The idea doesn't work, but they raise more funding to keep iterating.
  5. The idea still doesn't work and they start asking their customers what they really need.
  6. They restart the business around this new idea.

Sometimes step 5 works, sometimes it doesn't. But it getting to work usually takes at least 5 years of work and selling 50% of the company's equity. It also leaves founders and teams exhausted.

Our objective is to start teams at the end of step 5 and use our unique methodology to maximise the speed and chances of their success.

Why we focus on AI

We believe that AI will spawn a wave of new companies to help automate repetitive, costly and unglamorous work across different industries. We also believe there is a significant gap between the problems that need to be solved and the awareness of teams who are capable of solving them.
