Our vision

StartupMachine was born from the vision of creating globally ambitious businesses, using technology as a means — not an end. Behind the project is a founder with experience in building and scaling startups, who believes in the combination of strategy, execution, and innovation as the foundation for extraordinary companies.

Our focus is to identify opportunities, invest capital and intelligence, and bring new startups to life based on our own theses. We value the intensive use of artificial intelligence, decentralization through blockchain and DAOs, and the creation of solutions with real impact.

We’re just getting started — and that’s the most exciting part.
