Splice is a venture studio, not an accelerator. We co-build with founders, providing research, architecture, and GTM infrastructure—without mandatory platform fees or cap table complexity.
Formation equity for each incubation. Clean cap tables, majority founder ownership, standard venture terms.
Begins after systems are hardened and portfolio demonstrates repeatability. LP sidecar for aligned capital.
Founder brings the idea and domain expertise. Splice provides validation, architecture, and GTM infrastructure.
Splice identifies opportunity, builds initial prototype, then recruits CEO from operator bench.
Complex domain requiring extended research before founder placement. Equity negotiated when CEO joins.
You have a venture idea and domain expertise → 93/7 Co-Incubation
You're an operator looking for a validated starting point → Wholly Owned (join as recruited CEO)
The domain requires extended research before you're ready to commit → Delayed-Founder
No mandatory platform tax. You don't pay fees for using HELIOS infrastructure. The studio's return comes from equity participation, not platform revenue.
Clean cap tables. Standard venture structures. No hidden complexity, advisory overhangs, or lock-in mechanics.
Founder agency. You make the calls. We provide infrastructure, not mandates.
