Thinking out loud on accelerators, venture building, the Indian startup ecosystem, and what we're learning as we build WorkHouse from scratch.
What exactly is the Power-Law Accelerator model, why we take 15% equity instead of the standard 5-7%, and why that is actually a better deal for founders. The full thesis, plainly written.
WorkHouse Fund I charges the standard 2% management fee and 20% carry. The difference is the asset class: we generate 15% equity from a physical 90-day crucible, radically reducing early-stage due diligence risk.
Most founders bootstrap or raise from angels at 20-30% dilution, paying for office space, legal, cloud, and mentorship on top. WorkHouse flips the model: we give you everything you need for 15%, and you keep 85% of your company.
Physical proximity to founders for 90 days is the single biggest source of investor signal. We explain why no remote-first accelerator can replicate what happens when you live and build alongside people.
Management fees, carry, scaling equity exits, and sponsorships. We publish the full financial model publicly because transparency is the only way to build trust with founders and investors alike.
Website is live. Business model is validated. We're now raising $3.6M (₹30Cr) to launch the fund and fund the first 10 startups. Here's exactly where every dollar goes.
We write about the WorkHouse build, accelerator economics, the Indian startup ecosystem, and what we're learning. No spam — just thinking.
