Masters of Business Creation

You have had the idea for years.

You are busy, you have the means, and you still think about it every week. Give it a full-time team of two in an office of its own in Islamabad, while you keep your job. From $4,500 a month. You keep every share.

to quit

Your team builds while you keep your life.

It comes back in the shower. On long drives. In the quiet after everyone has gone to bed.

You have sketched it on napkins and in the notes app on your phone. You have told a few close friends, and watched their eyes light up. You are certain it would work. You even have the means to fund it.

What you never had was the time. There was always the job, the family, the next quarter. So the idea waited. And every year it waits, someone else gets a little closer to building it first.

It does not have to wait any longer.

Who this is for

Built for people with more passion than time.

  • You are in your forties, doing well, and your calendar is full.
  • You have an idea you care about, and it has not gone away in years.
  • You can fund it without betting the house, but you will not quit to build it yourself.
  • You want real people working on it every day, not a freelancer you chase.
  • You want to own all of it, with nobody taking a slice of your company.

Not the right fit?

If you need a one-week website, or you want someone else to come up with the idea, we are not for you.

If you know what you want to build and simply never had the hours, this was made for you.

Not sure yet? One conversation will tell us both.

The honest comparison

Two full-time people, a fraction of the cost.

Your team is in Islamabad, and we say so up front. That is how two full-time, dedicated people and their own office cost less than one US hire.

Your first 90 days

From the napkin to your name on the door.

The first step is just a conversation. Here is what usually follows.

  1. Week 0

    The conversation

    One honest call about what you want to build and why. If we do not think it is ready, we will say so.

  2. Weeks 1 to 2

    Your team and office

    We hire the two people your idea needs and set up their office. You meet them, and together we write a plan for the first version.

  3. Weeks 3 to 8

    The first version takes shape

    Weekly calls, Friday updates, and something new you can click, read or try every week. You steer, they build.

  4. Weeks 9 to 12

    In front of real people

    The aim is a first version in front of real customers, with what they say shaping the next quarter. Then decide whether to grow the team.

What you see every Friday

You will always know where it stands.

Busy people do not have time to chase updates. So every Friday your team sends a short written report: what got done, what is next, and the one decision they need from you. Read it in five minutes, reply from your phone.

An example of the format, not a real client.

Questions

Straight answers.

How can I start a business while working full-time?

Give the work to a team that does nothing else. With the MBC, two people work full-time on your idea from their own office while you keep your job. You set the direction in a weekly call and a written Friday update, usually an hour or two of your week.

Where is my team based?

In Islamabad, Pakistan, in a dedicated office we set up and run for your business. Your team is hired for you, works only on your idea, and speaks English every day with you and with us.

How much does a dedicated team cost compared to hiring in the US?

The MBC is $4,500 a month for two full-time people, office included. Two US hires at median pay, a software developer and a web designer, cost about $19,000 a month in salary alone, before payroll taxes, benefits, recruiting and office space.

What about the time difference?

Islamabad is 9 to 12 hours ahead of the US, depending on your time zone and the time of year. Most founders like it: the team works while you sleep, and there is fresh progress waiting each morning. We agree a regular overlap for calls that fits your day.

What do I get for $4,500 a month?

A dedicated team of two working full-time on your idea, from a dedicated office. We hire, train and manage the team and run the office for you. Pay $45,000 for the year up front and you get two months free.

Can the team grow?

Yes. As your idea grows you can add people at any time for a suitable increase in the monthly fee. We quote you before anyone joins.

Do I have to quit my job?

No, and we would rather you did not quit too soon. That is the point. Your team builds while you keep your job and your life. Step in fully when the business is ready for you.

Do I need to travel to Pakistan?

No. Everything runs on calls, chat and the weekly update. Some founders like to visit their team once it is up and running, and we are happy to host you, but it is never required.

I am not technical. Is that a problem?

Not at all. We help you decide who you need, and they handle the technical side while you guide the vision.

Who will be on my team?

Whatever your idea needs. A developer and a designer, two developers, or a developer and a marketer. If someone is not the right fit, we change the team.

Do I give away any equity?

No. You keep 100% of the business and the intellectual property. The team works for you.

What happens after the year?

Your team knows your business inside out and can keep working with you. We can carry on hiring and managing them for you, or you can take them on yourself.

Can I introduce someone?

Please do. We take good care of the people you introduce, and if they go ahead we thank you with 20% of their fee, as cash or as a discount for them. Details are on the introductions page.
