We build the company. You run it as a founder.
Ironhall Group creates new businesses and pairs each one with an operator who gets real equity and full responsibility.
Not an incubator.Not a fund.Not an agency.
Ironhall Group is a venture-building group. We start companies, and we hand each one to a partner who builds, sells, manages and leads it.
Incubator
An incubator takes in outside founders and their ideas.
We develop our own business opportunities and bring an operator in to run them.
Fund
A fund writes a check and waits.
We supply the concept, the product, the infrastructure and hands-on support for as long as it takes.
Agency
An agency hires people to execute someone else's plan.
Our operators are founders. They own a real piece of the company and lead it long term.
I know what it takes to build a company with nobody beside you. Ironhall is the partner I wish I had: we bring the company, the capital and the experience, and you build it with us.

Apply to operateWe don't need employees. We need founders.
We choose one partner per company, and we choose carefully. The profile is specific.
Entrepreneur blood
You have started things before, or you have been trying to. Ownership is the point for you, not a perk.
Works very hard
Building a company from its first sale is a grind. You already know that and you want it anyway.
Smart enough to build and to manage
You can sell on Monday, fix operations on Tuesday and hire on Wednesday. Then do it again.
In it for the long run
This is a long-term seat, not a two-year stop. We are looking for someone who wants to spend the next decade building one company.
How we choose a partner
One seat per company. The process is designed to find out quickly whether we should build together, and to waste nobody's time.
Apply
Tell us what you have built and why you want ownership instead of a salary. Short form, honest answers.
Conversations
A few direct conversations about how you think, how you sell and how you handle pressure.
Work together
A real problem from one of our businesses, worked on side by side. We see how you operate, you see how we do.
Offer and disclosure
Finalists learn which company is on the table, the equity terms and the plan. Then we decide together.
