What is F Stage AGENCY?

It’s Fstage.vc’s venture arm.

We are looking for promising Founders who have it all to fly high, yet lacking clarity, order, perhaps some talents, clients, funding and processes.

Therefore flying low or slow…
and this we gonna improve.

Check if you are our ICP, then look at what we improve. We are partners, we are not a charity org,
we do it for cash or shares, as you do yourself.

What’s the cost?

We aim to improve and build what was never there. So the intro call is to check if founders are aware of their business opportunities they are currently unable to realise or it’s a challenge we need to tackle first. Fstage AGENCY risk is to start working with something which turns out as a failure.

And please save the crap that failure is learning. This is the cost you as a founder should be willing to bear. Yet from our end we would do the utmost not deliberately enter into a businesses that don’t meet our ICP criteria.

What’s the income?

Unit economics – means nothing or everything. If your business model allows amplification of every dollar you put in – it would be stupid not to invest in such business, right?

But what if you haven’t figured it out yet, but it seems to be there …somewhere?  What if running costs exceed income, today? What if it only takes 30, 50 or 100 paying clients and then you’re break-even?

What’s your marketing budget now, knowing that every dollar spent amplifies your income?

Ideal Customer Profile

We commit to our obligations seriously and most likely we put in more hours and energy than paid employees. We tie our names with this new venture and it “becomes us”. Therefore all the criteria is equally important. Please read carefully. Not a match is completely OK. It means you are too early or too late. You do’t have to fit in.

Matching criteria:

• We work on pre-payment basis only. So the company should have at least 4 month runway to feel safe.
• Client admits they have reached their “glass ceiling”.
• Client is coachable and dares to trust.
• Business predictable annaul revenue is above 1B reachable.
• It is a scalable business model or it can be tweaked to become scalable.
• It contains software component.
• It matches our current portfolio and partners network in sectors and regions.
• Founders values and ethcis levels match with ours.
• Founders Human Design profiles confirm we can can work constructivly together.
• The business purpose aims for the greater good.

Roadmap

We’ve seen – 1 fits for all does not work. We humans are unique, and so is your business. Therefore we can’t grant you 100-500% income jumps in 1 month. Yet we will dig up all that you are and you yourself become more aware of your well forgotten resources. Then after once we join with our expertise and network we together can change a lot quickly.

Common roadmap:

• Current status mapping and learning sthe company and founders.
• ICP buildup that releases resources and describes inputs for next processes.
• Income stream discovery  workshop.
• Vision workout to allow team’s alignment to happen.
• Clarifying the value proposition design that meets stakeholders interests.
• Improving business and financial models to find where the money and opportunity is.
• Operational improvements to eliminate frictions and maximise the return on dollar.
• Introducing partners’ services and products to resolve non-strategic challenges.
• Daily business advisory.
• Advisory/supervisory board seat.
