The Death of the Incubator: Why Venture Building is the Future

The Incubator Lie

For the last decade, the 'Silicon Savannah' model has been: 1. Apply to Incubator. 2. Sit in a workspace for 3 months. 3. Pitch at Demo Day. 4. Hope for funding.

The failure rate is 99%. Why? Because mentorship doesn't write code. Advice doesn't acquire customers.

Enter the Venture Builder

A Venture Builder (or 'Startup Studio' like Orb21) is different. We don't just advise; we co-build.

  • We provide the **Technical Team** (Contributors).
  • We provide the **Legal Structure** (Smart Agreements).
  • We provide the **Growth Engine**.

Execution as a Service

In the future, founders won't look for 'advice'. They will look for 'action'. They will join platforms that give them the *infrastructure* to launch, not just the *encouragement*.

Orb21 is the first 'Protocolised' Venture Builder. We verify work. We track contributions. We ship.
