The traditional startup journey is filled with challenges, but one model is gaining traction for its ability to mitigate early-stage risks: the venture studio. Unlike incubators or accelerators that provide limited resources or mentorship, venture studios operate as co-founders, becoming deeply involved in a startup's development process. YE Stack takes this model to the next level by offering Product Partners, a game-changing initiative designed to help founders overcome one of their most pressing challenges—product development.

60% of founders spend over $100,000 on product development before even reaching their initial user base. This staggering statistic highlights a critical issue in the startup ecosystem: excessive early-stage spending that leaves entrepreneurs cash-strapped when it comes to crucial activities like community building and user acquisition. 

YE Stack's Product Partners program is a game-changing initiative designed to address this very challenge.

YE Stack: Extending Capabilities Through Product Partners

YE Stack has long been at the forefront of supporting early-stage entrepreneurs. With Product Partners, we're taking our commitment to the next level by focusing on a critical aspect of startup success: product development.

Product Partners is a comprehensive program that provides founders with essential product-building capabilities, including:

1. Product discovery

2. Technical development

3. Product thinking

4. Go-to-market (GTM) strategies

Through this program, we extend our expertise in technology and product development, supporting founders who have innovative ideas but may lack the technical know-how or the resources to turn those ideas into reality.

We're currently collaborating with founders from both domestic and international markets to test various hypotheses about how these product-specific supports can enhance the entrepreneurial journey.

Why Product? The Global Founder's Gateway

Our experience has shown that product development is often the most natural starting point for global founders engaging with YE Stack. It's tangible, has defined outcomes, and forms the core of any tech startup. By focusing on product, we create an accessible entry point for entrepreneurs worldwide to benefit from our expertise and resources.

Beyond Service Providers: A True Partnership Model

Product Partners isn't just another service offering - it's a revolutionary approach to startup support. Here's how we differentiate ourselves:

1. Aligned Interests Through Equity

Unlike traditional service providers, we invest in your potential. Our equity model ensures that our success is directly tied to yours. This creates a true partnership where both parties are equally motivated to build a successful, scalable business.

2. Comprehensive Support

We don't just build your product and walk away. Product Partners offers tailored support across various aspects of your business, including marketing and customer acquisition, all aimed at achieving specific, measurable outcomes.

3. Shared Risk and Reward

Our deep involvement creates a high-stakes environment. If your startup thrives, we both reap the rewards. If it fails to meet objectives, we share in the loss. This model fosters a level of commitment far beyond what you'd find with a typical service company.

The Technical Co-Founder You've Been Looking For

Product Partners effectively acts as your technical co-founder, bringing expertise, resources, and cost efficiencies to your startup. We understand that as a founder, your strength lies in your domain knowledge.
