Startup Accelerator Asia | What is a Startup Studio? -

What we like

Partnership with founders

The old agency model is broken. We're building a future where founders can work together (and with us) to make a big difference from the very start. Together we can make your business ideas come alive in the digital world.

We believe partnership brings results

Tenten backs the shared future. We believe that the best for-profit investments are in businesses where the mission and revenue model are aligned. In other words, companies whose financial success inherently pushes the world forward will produce the greatest return on investment.

How does our accelerator work?

1. Evaluate your Business Idea

First, we talk. Send us an email at [email protected] and tell us what you’re working on, and how you think we can help. We love email and we will get back to you quicker than you’d expect. Our startup team will evaluate your ideas, selecting only the most innovative and revolutionary products.

2. Founder & team interview

If we like your idea and decide to help you to leavege your products to next level. Tenten partners up with a technical and a business co-founder who get 50% of the company’s shares. We carefully selects its co-founders based on their entrepreneurial skills, their brilliant minds, their experience, and their ambition to run a company on the long run and to bring it a next round of funding.

3. We do one thing — seed stage.

If you are an indie developer or a small, bootstrapped startup, we also accept part of our service fee as equity (when we’re early enough for that to be meaningful) or revenue share (when the product we’re helping sell will translate to real revenue in the short term). Current and future areas of interest: Fintech, SaaS, IOT, E-Commerce

4. How do we share resources with our partners?

We act as the perfect mentors by bringing hands-on expertise, resources and connecting you with VCs. With your help, our core team will start to enhance the UX, process and branding of your startup.

Our goal is to help each startup become fully independent. The founders gradually build their own team and culture until they raise external funds. Before that, you can use our awesome work space and collaborate with us. You are always welcome to ask our team for help!
