Customer segmentation
Painpoint validation
Jason Wallis
"Stackpoint’s structured discovery process and deep industry connections quickly uncovered venture-scale opportunities that became SurfaceAI. In a matter of weeks Stackpoint got me in front of several of the largest, most strategic customer prospects in the industry - people who are normally incredibly inaccessible. We were able to do early concept discovery with customers directly to understand their pain points, which is critical when exploring a complex industry like property management"

Philosophy
Four core principles guide how we form partnerships and operate
Do not lay the foundations of a house without strong ground
Sink or swim together
We only make money if the value of the company’s equity grows. We do not charge back for our services or nickel-and-dime founders.
Quality over quantity
We launch only a few companies each year, and we invest deeply in each one.
Founders not hired guns
We only partner with seasoned builders with the personal qualities (grit, drive, persuasiveness, self awareness, resourcefulness) to go the distance.
Clean cap table + governance
Our cofounder/CEO is the largest shareholder, and controls the company. We leave ample equity to attract the right team and subsequent investors.
