Architech AI Venture Studio operates as your technical co-founder in an equity partnership model. We don't provide development services—we become business partners who build complete AI-powered businesses together. We work with domain experts who have clear business insights and understand specific problems in their industry, but need a technical co-founder to build the AI solution. We take full ownership of building your complete MVB (Minimum Viable Business)—AI solution, business infrastructure, marketing foundation, legal setup, operational systems, and launch preparation.

Industry Experience: Professionals with 7+ years of deep expertise in any sector with automation and AI opportunities. Business Insight: Clear understanding of specific problems in your industry that AI automation can solve profitably. Commitment Capacity: Willing to dedicate 8–12 hours weekly for strategy sessions, customer development, and business validation. Investment Readiness: $15K–25K co-investment capacity plus operational mindset for building a sustainable business. AI-Curious Mindset: Excited about leveraging automation while understanding realistic AI capabilities.

You don't need a complete business plan or product spec. What matters is that you have a clear problem worth solving, deep domain knowledge, and a willingness to build something real. We help shape everything else from the ground up.

Yes. Our model is specifically designed for professionals who want to build AI businesses while maintaining career security and primary income. 8-12 hour weekly commitment structured around evenings and weekends to accommodate professional schedules.

Business IP Ownership: All intellectual property created specifically for your venture is owned according to our equity partnership—you own 75-85%, Architech owns 15-25%. Pre-Existing Architech IP: Cross-industry template libraries and development tools that existed before our partnership remain Architech property. IP Governance: Major intellectual property decisions require mutual agreement according to the partnership governance framework. Complete Confidentiality: Signed NDAs protect all your expertise and processes. Your knowledge remains 100% yours. We never work with competitors or share insights with other partnerships.

We can either rebuild it properly using a scalable, AI-accelerated architecture—or pick up from where you left off. We'll evaluate whether it makes sense to build on top of your existing product or start fresh using proven frameworks.

You can continue working with us for growth, scale, and funding, or begin building your internal team. We offer flexible support options, including strategic advisory, technical retainers, and hiring assistance. As equity partners, we remain invested in your long-term success.

Yes—your product is built to be maintainable by other developers. We provide full documentation, codebase access, architecture overviews, and onboarding support for internal hires or external agencies.

Your industry knowledge is exactly why this works. We've succeeded across freight logistics, medical billing, restaurant management, and grant writing. The AI automation principles apply universally—your expertise makes them valuable.

Yes. Architech has delivered high-impact, AI-driven solutions across multiple industries:

Using our template-first AI development infrastructure, we deliver production-ready MVBs within 8 weeks—typically 3x-5x faster than traditional development approaches.

We commit to an 8-week maximum delivery. Delays due to our execution issues are managed within our partnership commitment. The discovery phase carefully defines the MVB scope to ensure realistic delivery within timeline constraints.

We'll help you focus on the most impactful, testable feature set for your MVB. Feature creep is common—but we manage it carefully to protect timeline and clarity. Bigger ideas can go into Phase 2.

Scope is locked at the start of the 8-week build to ensure on-time delivery. Minor adjustments are reviewed weekly. If major changes are requested, we discuss whether to defer them to a second phase.

Absolutely. Our model is designed for busy professionals. You contribute 8-12 hours weekly (evenings/weekends) focused on strategy and market validation. We handle all technical execution and business infrastructure.

That's exactly why you need us. We want you to be the expert on problems and solutions, not technology. Your job is to guide the AI system to work the way you would—we handle everything else.

Shared Risk Structure: Both parties lose their respective investments if the business doesn't achieve market traction—you lose your co-investment, and we lose our development investment. No Additional Liability: Neither party has financial exposure beyond the initial commitment. Asset Retention: You retain ownership of all code, IP, and business assets according to equity percentages.

Partner Investment: $15K–25K for MVB development and business launch, demonstrating serious commitment to success. Partnership Value: Complete MVB delivery including AI solution, business infrastructure, legal setup, marketing foundation, and launch preparation. Why Co-Investment Matters: Ensures serious commitment, creates aligned incentives, demonstrates business viability, and enables rapid execution.

Your Ownership: You retain 75–85% equity ownership of the business we build together. Architech Ownership: We take a 15–25% equity stake as your technical co-founder. Ownership Rights: Both parties own their respective percentage of all business assets, IP, customer relationships, and future value creation.

Your Authority: Day-to-day business operations, market positioning, pricing strategy, and customer acquisition. Mutual Agreement Required: Major strategic pivots, significant budget allocations, fundraising terms, and exit opportunities. Architech Authority: AI architecture, technical implementation, system security, business infrastructure setup

In most cases, we require co-investment ($15K–25K) alongside equity to ensure aligned incentives and demonstrate founder commitment. Exceptional cases with strong market traction may be considered equity-only on a case-by-case basis.

Typically, no—the co-investment covers real-time execution. However, if development hasn't started or only partial work has been completed, we're open to reviewing fair, prorated refund terms on a case-by-case basis.

Entity Formation: Support for incorporating appropriate business entities optimized for your business model and future growth. Partnership Documentation: Complete partnership agreements, equity documentation, and operational frameworks. Compliance Setup: Industry-appropriate compliance frameworks and ongoing regulatory adherence systems. Operational Legal: Basic contracts, terms of service, privacy policies, and customer agreement templates.

We're not contractors—we're equity partners. We don't just "code what you ask for"—we co-create the entire business with you. We provide ongoing technical co-founder support. Our incentives are fully aligned with your long-term success because we share in the upside.

Yes. We support handoff or hybrid structures if you decide to internalize your tech team. We'll assist with documentation, onboarding, and knowledge transfer to ensure a smooth transition. As equity partners, decisions about internal hiring require mutual agreement based on business scale and strategic impact.

Compliance Expertise: Experience with industry-specific regulations and adaptable compliance frameworks for various sectors. Built-In Security: Enterprise-grade security, data encryption, audit trails, and compliance monitoring are standard in all implementations. Industry Adaptation: Regulatory requirements addressed during the discovery phase with appropriate compliance modules.

Enterprise Security Standards: Industry-standard security practices, end-to-end encryption, role-based access controls, and regular security audits. Privacy Protection: Privacy-by-design architecture, international data privacy compliance (GDPR when applicable), and clear data governance policies.

Equity Partnership Continuation: Our equity stake means we remain invested in your long-term success. Strategic Partnership: Continued business strategy, growth planning, and strategic decision-making. Technical Evolution: System optimization, feature development, and technology advancement. Network Access: Ongoing introductions to customers, partners, investors, and strategic opportunities.

Decision Framework: Partnership agreements include clear authority for different decision types, with you maintaining majority control on business strategy while Architech leads technical implementation. Founder Authority: You retain final authority on market positioning, customer strategy, and industry-specific business decisions.

Absolutely. We structure the MVB and supporting materials to help you fundraise as soon as there's traction. We'll help prepare the story, metrics, and intros once the product is live.

As equity partners, we support fundraising when your business reaches strong user traction and market validation. We provide business metrics development, financial model refinement, strategic positioning, and network introductions to relevant early-stage investors.

We frequently work with solo founders—especially domain experts. If a co-founder adds strategic value, we can support your search, but it's not required to partner with us.

We welcome international partners and structure partnerships globally with appropriate legal entities and partnership agreements compliant with both US and local jurisdiction requirements. Communication across multiple time zones with flexible meeting schedules.

We understand that priorities can shift. If you need to pause, we preserve all progress, assets, and IP developed to date. We'll agree on a restart plan or exit path based on your situation.

Target Milestones: User acquisition within 90 days, product-market fit validation within 6 months, path to sustainable growth, scalable systems architecture, market positioning as AI-powered industry leader. Business Foundation: Enterprise-grade AI systems, complete operational infrastructure, professional market positioning, and financial systems enabling informed decision-making.

Agile Response: An 8-week timeline minimizes market risk exposure while allowing rapid pivots based on new information. Scope Flexibility: MVB scope is adjustable based on changing market conditions without compromising core AI functionality. Partnership Resilience: Both parties are committed to finding viable solutions rather than abandoning projects.

Governance Consideration: As equity partners, decisions about internal hiring require mutual agreement based on business scale, financial capacity, and strategic impact. Transition Options: Strategic partnership with oversight, hybrid structure, or knowledge transfer with complete documentation and team training.

Business Continuity: Sufficient resources and team redundancy maintained to complete all partnership commitments. Asset Protection: All code, documentation, and business assets are immediately transferable if Architech faces unexpected challenges. Backup Procedures: Clear protocols for partnership completion through trusted partner networks.
