Solutions · Startups

For founders going from idea to first paying customer.

Macroshifts is the venture studio built for the most exposed stage in a startup's life — the months between conviction and traction. We pressure-test the idea, ship the product, run the growth, and stand beside you when it's time to raise.

SaaS & B2B platforms

From the first prototype to a multi-tenant, payment-ready product investors can underwrite.

Fintech, healthtech, regtech

Regulated spaces where SOC 2 readiness and clean architecture matter from day one.

Marketplaces & networks

Two-sided products where the unit economics and supply liquidity decide everything.

AI-native products

LLM, RAG, and agent-based startups built by engineers who've shipped in production.

What we do for startups

A studio team in place of a missing one.

You don't need every full-time hire on day one. You need a senior team that can pressure-test, design, build, ship, market, and introduce you to investors — without the eighteen-month ramp.

1

Idea validation

Our 14-day sprint pressure-tests the wedge before code. Customer calls, paid signal, kill-or-keep verdict.

2

MVP & product build

Senior engineers ship a real product — auth, payments, integrations, deployed and ready for paying customers.

3

Brand & positioning

The wedge sentence, the visual identity, and the landing page that converts the first 100 visitors.

4

SEO & growth from zero

Bottom-of-funnel keyword strategy, content cluster, and paid acquisition for first traction.

5

Investment support

Pitch deck, financial model, warm introductions to the funds we know. Coaching for the room.

6

Managed operations

Cloud, security, SOC 2 readiness, customer support — so you focus on customers, not on-call rotations.

The startup journey

Three stages we meet you at.

Stage 01

Pre-product

You have an idea. We validate, design, and ship a working MVP — fixed scope, fixed fee, 6–10 weeks.

Stage 02

Pre-revenue

Product exists, customers don't. We dial in positioning, run growth experiments, and prep the raise.

Stage 03

Pre-Series A

Revenue and momentum — we scale ops, harden the platform, and route warm introductions to seed/A funds.

Engagement model

Studio Partner — fee plus equity.

Most early-stage founders engage us on a Studio Partner basis: a reduced cash fee plus a small equity stake. We win when you win — which means the team building your product genuinely needs the company to succeed.

For shorter engagements (validation, MVP only, or one specific service), we also run fixed-scope Sprints — quoted per project after a short discovery call.
