Dedicated entrepreneurial training (Startup CEO Masterclass) and direct mentorship at every stage.

100% product development by the VB Technology Asset, for a working MVP in a few weeks.

Server solutions

Enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure and AI models (e.g. Google Cloud, Claude, AWS).

Analytics & Tracking

Marketing analytics and tracking systems to measure every euro invested.

Payments

Integration with payment and collection systems, such as Stripe and others.

Sub-ERP

Dedicated sub-ERP for sales and collections management.

Who We Invest In

We invest in founders with B2B or B2C digital projects that use artificial intelligence as a lever for product, service or process — not necessarily ideas centered on AI as the subject itself. Execution is handled by the VB Technology Asset, which cuts development time by 80%, to validate the idea with real users in a few weeks. Our reference verticals:

Retail & E-Commerce

Selling innovative products through e-commerce, or building new retail formats, with artificial intelligence at the core of the business model.

B2B Digital Platforms

SaaS software and platforms that use AI to automate business processes, sales or customer service.

Mobile App B2C

Consumer apps that integrate artificial intelligence into the user experience, like DrGuido.ai.

Service Fee

Incubation has a cost, which is reduced and drops to zero if you bring Family & Friends ready to bet on you and your idea.

€0 With Family & Friends
€5,000–15,000 Standard service fee

Legal and tax costs of the agreement are always due: advanced as a loan to the founder, repaid from F&F investments upon subscription.

Family & Friends don't count for the capital amount, but as a signal of trust: it's the main idea-selection criterion.

Selection Process

The evaluation committee meets every month to review submitted projects and decide which ones to incubate. VB resources are limited: only a few projects in parallel, at most. Your application date becomes a priority factor — book your slot.

Founders FAQ

Why is there a service fee if the VB already covers development costs?

It ensures the founder's real commitment, aligning their goals with those of the operating structure.

How is the service fee reduced by bringing in Family & Friends investors?

Family & Friends involvement brings the service fee down to zero: from €5,000-15,000 to €0.

Are legal and tax costs included in the service fee?

No, they're always due even with Family & Friends: they're advanced as a loan to the founder and repaid from F&F investments upon subscription.

Why is the presence of Family & Friends a selection criterion for the idea?

It's the most direct signal of trust and commitment around the founder, more relevant than the amount of capital.

Are people involved as Family & Friends protected even without investment experience?

Yes. SFP and SAFE agreements are structured to protect small investors, with information rights on project progress and clear rules for converting into equity at spinoff.

What kind of projects does the VB evaluate?

Retail/e-commerce companies, B2B digital platforms and B2C mobile apps that use artificial intelligence as a lever — not necessarily ideas centered on AI as the product itself.

What happens if the idea isn't selected?

The VB provides feedback on the evaluation; the founder remains free to develop the project independently or propose it elsewhere.

Does VC acceleration support include entry into a specific program or a network of contacts?

Support in structuring the pitch and direct connection to the VB's network of Business Angels and VC funds.
