Our venture studio model

What you get when you partner with RaiseIQ.

Idea Validation

We take you through our idea validation process to prototype your product and get feedback from target users early on. Our product managers train you in user testing so you learn how to develop strong relationships with customers.

$500,000 in Development Services

Powered by our development agency DevSquad, we provide $500,000 worth of product development, design, and strategic services to bring your SaaS product to life. This includes everything from MVP development to scaling for growth.

Up to $500,000 in Perks

In addition to development services, we also offer up to $500,000 in perks from our partners, including Google Cloud, AWS, and HubSpot to help you scale faster with essential tools and services.

Strategic 18-Month Program

You’ll go through our 18-month program designed to help your company break even on expenses and start generating profit. After the program, you’ll have a self-sufficient company with its own development team.

Growth Support

Throughout the program, we provide ongoing support in customer acquisition, operations, and product optimization. You’ll learn how to position your company for long-term growth.

Our incentive

You get to build a business on your terms, with no pressure to sell quickly or raise capital. We get the incentives we need to fully invest in your success. In exchange for our services and support, RaiseIQ will take an equity stake in your company and receive a percentage of any distributed profits. As your company becomes profitable, you decide when and how much profit to distribute. To encourage sustainable growth and fair profit sharing, we implement a reasonable founder salary cap.

We’re all in on vertical B2B SaaS

There are an infinite number of ways to solve problems through technology, but not all of them make great businesses.

We’re looking for industry experts who deeply understand niche problems and want to follow a proven path to success. Done right, vertical B2B SaaS products are highly profitable. When you address the needs of a specific industry, you can drive higher retention rates, long-lasting customer relationships, and stable recurring revenue.

Our Utah-based venture studio helps you strengthen your industry expertise and get so close to your customers that no one knows them like you do.

We’re seeking opportunities in product categories dominated by old, outdated incumbents where customers are hungry for something new and innovative. Let’s partner up to introduce modern, user-friendly solutions in stagnant markets and well-established categories ready for disruption.

You’re an industry expert
You need help launching a SaaS business
You’ve got a fresh take
Your market has some solid demand
You don’t want to risk quitting your day job or business

Build a profitable SaaS business on your terms

Create a low-stress lifestyle business. Or, scale rapidly and exit. It’s up to you.

No Shouldering Risks Alone

You have an experienced equity partner on your side to share the burdens, risks, successes, and wins with.

No Requirement to Raise Capital

Most vertical B2B SaaS companies don’t need extra capital to grow—or the stress that comes along with answering to VCs.

No Forced Exits

Achieving an 8-figure exit is highly doable. But unlike many VCs, we don’t force you to exit. Build a sustainable company if you prefer.
