Cleymand · A venture studio
Two engines. One method.
We find the one constraint between a company and its next stage, then remove it. For a fee, or for a share.
Engine 01 · Advisory
Fix the constraint. For a fee.
Diagnosis, then the build — for founder-led firms that want the machine, not a co-founder.
Engine 02 · Ventures
Co-found the company. For equity.
We originate, build, and co-own new B2B companies with an operating founder.
The method, in the open
Every company is blocked by one thing at a time.
Both engines run the same discipline: find the single constraint between a company and its next stage, and remove it. Six places a company gets stuck — published, not hidden.
The machine behind both engines
What the studio brings. Functions, not faces.
The same in-house capability powers a fee-based fix and a company built from zero — the studio is the team until the venture has one of its own.
01 · Thesis
Demand & direction
The six-category screen that finds where a market is already pulling.
02 · Product
Design & engineering
Zero-to-one product built in-house, not outsourced.
03 · Brand
Narrative & identity
A company that looks fundable from day one.
04 · Growth
The revenue engine
The channels the constraint actually demands — nothing else.
05 · Cadence
Operating rhythm
Weekly loops that keep one constraint moving at a time.
06 · Capital
Fundability
Built to raise when the time is right — or not need to.
Two ways in
Hire the machine, or co-found with it.
Advisory · For a fee
Fix the constraint. Keep your company.
You keep 100%. We diagnose the one constraint holding your firm back, then build the fix — the Growth Diagnosis, then the Authority Site and revenue system. It sharpens our machine on real companies, and it's how we meet the founders we might co-found with next.
Ventures · For a share
Co-found the company. Own it together.
We originate the thesis, build from zero, and pair the venture with an operating co-founder — taking equity instead of a retainer. We're pre-portfolio: building our first ventures now, in the open. The earliest founders get built closest.
One method. Two ways in.
Hire the machine, or co-found with it. Either way, it starts with the one constraint between you and your next stage.
