Our Philosophy: The Build-Measure-Learn Startup Metamorphosis
"The Hutch" Business Accelerator
(Caterpillar Stage)
Maximize Venture Agency
(Chrysalis Stage)
Maximize Venture Partners
(Butterfly Stage)
The job of the caterpillar is to eat, eat, eat. At this stage, entrepreneurs are encouraged to hangout and meet each other in the founders lounge, give and gain resources, and join our 12 week incubator.
The cocoon is a safe space for entrepreneurs to accelerate the growth of their company. We hand-select companies from our community to scale their sales, marketing, media and capital capabilities.
The butterfly's job is to flap its wings and fly! At this stage, entrepreneurs and their startups are maturing and are ready to raise their next round of capital. We partner with the most seasoned and hands-on LPs to preserve and grow their capital at Seed and Series A.
