more than just financing
more than just financing
Other than investments, co-founding your company with Bornfight means you get a team of product builders, business operators, entrepreneurs and fund-raisers.
01
Dedicated team
When you know the problem but don’t have the resources or expertise, Bornfight gets you a team of experts at your disposal. Instead of hiring new people, we provide an already experienced task force.
02
Operational Support
Daily operations create brand new challenges every day — our management knows how to prepare you for what’s ahead. This saves you time and valuable resources.
03
Financing & Investments
Funding is always hard to come by, especially in early stages. Bornfight invests in your idea and connects you with the right people and finds capital to launch your startup to the next level.
04
Administrative Support
Starting small means you have to take multiple roles at once. Bornfight takes care of the administration while you focus on your company and work on ideas that help turn your ideas into successful products.
