FAQ

  • A venture builder is a business that builds businesses. Sometimes referred to as “startup factories” or “venture studios”, venture builders assemble teams around a problem worth solving.

    At The Building Blocks, we take a holistic approach to building companies; combining expert talent in product development, technology, and brand building with our own research IP, and investment funding. This results in ventures that not only have an identified problem and a team to solve it, but also the key building blocks for successful market launch.

  • No, because technology isn’t the star of the show. Your vision is.

    Distributed ledger technologies offer teams a new toolkit with which to solve big problems. You don’t need to have developed a “web3 idea”. In fact, it’s better not to have pre-conceived notions about what technologies, products, or services might solve the problem your business faces. We’re experts in this department, and we’ll devise a solution together that leverages the new possibilities third web technologies afford us without making them the hero.

  • Different businesses need different building blocks to unlock future revenue. We’ve worked in all of them, and will bring what’s additive.

    Be it business strategy, product development, brand building, emerging technology, or marketing, we’ll combine our building blocks to develop a solution. We’ll do this in collaboration with you every step of the way. We also lead any funding rounds deemed necessary to make a success of the venture. You don’t need to make new hires, commit to acquiring the company we build for you, or know anything about web3 technology. You do need to have an open mind, clear business problem, and budget to fund activity until investment is secured. You should also be an established brand in your industry with an existing customer base.
