90% OF STARTUPS FAIL!

Typically 90% of startups fail for many different reasons, one of the main reasons is the team dynamic and one of the founders not been prepared to do whatever it takes to succeed, like sleeping in your office because you cannot pay rent for both a home and an office, or focusing on an MVP only and not realizing you need a revenue ready MVC that is built to raise from day one!

About Us

What sets Fabrika137 apart from other venture platforms, WE FUND BRAND NEW STARTUPS! There are not many funds or labs that will invite applications from brand new startups. Our team has over 30 years experience in the technology and business sectors and has founded hundreds of successful businesses. We have representatives in the USA, Mexico, Central America, Africa, Middle East and Asia, so we have got you covered with more face time, and global experience across mature and emerging markets.

It's all about Founder DNA

1. Vision: A clear vision for a core team, customers and investors.
2. Resilience: The ability to bounce back from setbacks and failures.
3. Adaptability: The willingness to learn and adapt to changing circumstances, and to pivot the business model if necessary.
4. Leadership: The ability to build and lead a high-performing team, and to inspire and motivate them to achieve the company’s goals.
5. Domain Expertise: A deep understanding of the technology and market that the startup is operating in, and the ability to identify and capitalize on opportunities.

Ideas are a "dime a dozen"

If you think you the one and only with this great idea, dream on! Do not worry about first to market, or competition, pioneers do not make the money, competitors define the market and landscape and are for differentiation and a benchmark to beat! In our experience all our disappointments have been in founders, not ideas. We will work out if you have what is takes to launch a startup successfully.
