WORK WITH US

How can we start?

Engagements with WeeklyVentures come in four sprint formats, each designed for a different starting point — from a 1–4 week sprint that creates the first uncertain action, to a 90-day sprint that builds a validated opportunity into a company, to an ongoing Co-Build Partnership.

FOUR SPRINT FORMATS

Where do you want to start?

1–4 WEEKS

First-Action Sprint

Quickly structures an ambiguous idea or market opportunity into the first piece of market evidence. The lightest entry point.

First contact. Founders with an idea but no clear starting point, corporates needing early market signal, researchers looking to translate technology to market for the first time.

What you get

  • Problem and customer hypothesis
  • MVP or PoC
  • Landing page / demo / interview results
  • Go / Pivot / Stop recommendation
  • Next-sprint recommendation

What we need

  • Your initial idea or technology notes
  • 1–2 × 30-min check-in calls per week
  • Access to early users or customer prospects (if available)

Week by week

  • W1 — Frame: define the critical question + narrow to one testable hypothesis
  • W2 — Build: create the fastest form that can touch the market
  • W3 — Validate: measure interviews / clicks / payments / rejections
  • W4 — Decide: Go / Pivot / Stop call + final report
4–8 WEEKS

Venture Thesis Sprint

Translates an idea or technology into a venture-ready thesis — market structure, customer segmentation, business model, first experiment design.

You have deep technology or domain insight but no clarity yet on what venture to build. Founders from research, corporate new-business PMs, or investors looking for a thesis worth funding.

What you get

  • Market structure and customer segmentation
  • Technology applicability assessment
  • Competitive landscape map
  • Initial business model (3 options)
  • Founder/operator profile
  • First experiment design (prep for the next sprint)

What we need

  • Technology / domain notes (whatever you have)
  • 2–3 × 60-min check-in calls per week
  • Access to a domain expert (if needed)

Week by week

  • W1–2 — Map market structure and customer segments
  • W3–4 — Technology application scenarios + competitive analysis
  • W5–6 — Three business-model options + thesis draft
  • W7–8 — First experiment design + Go/Stop call
90 DAYS

Market / Venture Building Sprint

Compresses 90 days of early company-building into a focused engagement: MVP iteration, customer development, partnerships, investor narrative, spin-out structure.

Your thesis is validated and you have first market evidence. You want to compress the next 90 days with an operating partner before building the company at full pace.

What you get

  • MVP → V1 iteration
  • 10–30 customer interviews + early revenue signal
  • 1–2 strategic partnerships set up
  • Investor narrative + financial-model draft
  • Spin-off structure or company setup
  • 30 / 60 / 90-day milestone reports

What we need

  • A validated thesis or completed First-Action Sprint
  • 5–10 hours per week of founder/operator engagement
  • Early capital or funding plan (if any)

Week by week

  • Week 1–4 — MVP V1 + 10 customer interviews
  • Week 5–8 — First revenue signal + partnership setup
  • Week 9–12 — Investor narrative + spin-off / company setup
ONGOING

Co-Build Partnership

Ongoing venture-creation partnership. We build, validate, and operate alongside you as a long-term operating layer — not a one-off project.

Venture builders, investors, or corporates wanting a continuous venture-creation partner. Especially when a long-term operating partner is needed for a specific market (e.g., Korea) or domain.

What you get

  • Quarterly sourcing + screening
  • Joint thesis development
  • Co-build candidate validation (1–3 per quarter)
  • Ongoing operating collaboration
  • Quarterly results report + next-quarter plan

What we need

  • Quarterly retainer or success-based structure
  • Shared governance / decision agreement
  • Long-term trust horizon (12+ months)

Quarter by quarter

  • Q1 — Quarterly thesis + first sourcing round
  • Q2 — Co-build candidate validation + operations
  • Q3 — Outcome review + next venture lineup
  • Q4 — Annual review + next-year plan
FAQ

Frequently asked

Which sprint should I start with?
There's no fixed entry point. Just an idea — start with First-Action Sprint. Technology or domain depth without a venture shape — Venture Thesis Sprint. Validated thesis with first market evidence — 90-day Sprint. Looking for a continuous partner — Co-Build Partnership. If you're unsure, a 30-minute call is the simplest way to figure out which fits.
How is pricing structured?
Each sprint is priced as a single engagement. The exact figure depends on scope and is defined in the first meeting. We typically recommend starting with a small First-Action Sprint and progressing to longer engagements based on the outcome.
Can we work remotely?
Yes. We have experience collaborating across Korean, broader Asian, and European time zones. The default rhythm is 1–2 video calls per week + async collaboration in Slack/Notion. In-person work in Korea is also possible (Busan / Seoul).
Who owns the IP of the deliverables?
By default, the client owns the IP. For Co-Build Partnership engagements, we agree on a shared IP / equity structure up front. NDA / contract terms are defined before we start.
What if a sprint ends in 'Stop'?
That's a useful outcome. Stopping with evidence is far more valuable than continuing without it. A Stop decision is closed out with a learning summary + recommended next hypothesis.
When are we NOT a good fit?
1) When you need pure outsourced development, 2) when there's no willingness to invest decision-makers / domain knowledge / time, 3) when you need a polished pitch deck more than fast market evidence. We are an outcome-driven collaboration, not a deck-making vendor.
