We seek individuals who see starting a business as a deep-seated passion. We’re interested in serial entrepreneurs who have already launched ventures and are eager for a partner to start their next one. We prioritize attitude, interpersonal skills, ambition, humility and the ability to take action.
At SKL.vc’s venture builder, the journey usually lasts over eight months. Each founder’s path is unique, but all startups hit key milestones: identifying an idea, proving a hypothesis, creating a prototype, building an MVP, completing the product, and launching the company.
Our team collaborates closely with founders on product development, design, strategy, go-to-market planning, recruitment, and financing. We cover all expenses until the company achieves independence. Our advisors help with strategic decision-making, ensuring a balance of autonomy and expert guidance.
Our core team supports every project across recruitment, product development, analytics, design, software engineering, marketing, sales, finance, legal matters, and other strategic areas.
SKL.vc is remote-first, but we collaborate daily on product, design, analytics, recruiting, and team management. We hold internal strategic sessions and mastermind groups to maintain momentum. Startups also participate in SKL.vc activities like Startup Chance and Launch Camp.

Each month, we receive inquiries from entrepreneurs who are interested in starting a business venture with us. Our meetings focus on building rapport, identifying common interests, and assessing potential collaboration. We evaluate three key areas: whether the founder has successfully launched other businesses, if the idea aligns with our preferred sectors, and whether the startup is at a stage where we can make the most significant impact.
Our initial ideas are analytics-driven, focusing on solving specific problems with simple solutions that add value to users. Founders can also bring their ideas or MVPs, but they must align with our interests in preferred focus areas.
SKL.vc is not a venture capital fund and does not invest in traditional funding rounds. Our approach involves launching startups from the idea stage. We seek teams or solo founders who are ready to receive a working contract of up to $200k USD/month along with equity options, covering all expenses until the startup achieves independence.
SKL.vc continues to support startups post-launch by keeping them within the venture builder until they reach Series A funding. During this period, SKL.vc provides continuous financial support, hires additional team members, and handles all administrative tasks such as accounting and legal matters. Startups become separate companies only after achieving annual revenues in the tens of millions of dollars.
Yes, founders can bring their own ideas or MVPs, provided they align with our preferred focus areas and pass our viability tests.
Unlike traditional VCs, SKL.vc does not invest in external projects. We generate and develop ideas internally, providing end-to-end support and funding to build successful startups. Instead of traditional investments, we offer competitive salaries and option plans.
