How is Originate different than an angel investor, VC, or other investor?
Originate Labs does not invest capital. Instead, Originate invests engineers, talent, expertise, and experience in exchange for equity or a cash/equity split. We work closely with Venture Capital and Angel investors who see the added benefit of leveraging resources to reduce cash-burn, especially during the early stages of development. Although funding and staffing is an important, and potentially inevitable, part of the start-up process, it takes an extreme amount of time, effort, patience (and luck) to bring together a talented and functional engineering team. Originate immediately offers entrepreneurial, experienced development teams to help new ventures hit the ground running, without the cash burn.
