Build with operators
Our team has built, operated and scaled technology businesses across the UK and Africa. We apply that experience and our playbooks to de-risk the venture and improve the odds from day one.
24 Hubs Technology · Venture studio
Co-found a startup with HulkPage.
We partner with entrepreneurs, corporates and investors to develop new ideas, technologies and business models into high-growth companies. Founders get pre-seed capital, a dedicated operating team, access to corporate partners and membership of our founder community.
01 / Our approach
From idea to independent company.
Our team has taken technology businesses from first concept to operating companies across the UK and Africa. We apply that experience and our playbooks to de-risk your venture and increase the odds of success.
Fast-track to product/market fit
Work with designers, engineers and growth specialists to validate the concept, build the first product, and win the first customers with real commercial evidence.
Raise capital and build the company
We support fundraising, the first hires and the operating foundations, and stay involved as the company evolves from studio project to independent business.
02 / What founders get
A platform, not just a cheque.
Operational support from people who have done the job before. Every studio venture draws on the same senior team that delivers our client work.

↗07 / Frequently asked
How the studio works.
What does the studio provide?
Pre-seed capital, a dedicated operating team across product, engineering, growth, talent and fundraising, access to our corporate partners, and membership of the founder community. Founders focus on customers and the company; we remove the early friction.
How is equity structured?
Each venture is a separate company. Founders hold a majority founder allocation, the studio holds operating equity in exchange for capital and the operating team, and corporate partners hold a stake where they co-build. Terms are agreed in writing before work starts.
Which sectors do you focus on?
Fintech and SMB software, health, mobility and automotive, assessment and education, cloud infrastructure and property. We prefer structural problems where operating capability is the moat.
Where do you operate?
From a UK operating base, with deep experience in Nigerian and wider African markets. Most ventures are designed for both from the start.
How long does the studio phase last?
Typically 9–18 months from concept to a commercial product with first customers, followed by a fundraising process and transition to an independent operating company.
