FAQ

Useful questions before we start.

Which offer should I start with?

If the next decision is unclear, start with Founder Compass. If the market is the main uncertainty, choose Market Validation Sprint. Agartha will not recommend a larger engagement when a smaller evidence step can answer the decision.

Are the published prices final?

Fixed-fee prices are published for the exact scope stated on this page. ‘From’ and range prices require a written scope because product complexity, integrations and delivery resources vary. Prices exclude VAT where applicable and third-party costs.

Does Agartha only work with technology startups?

No. We focus on ventures where innovation, execution complexity and ecosystem access materially affect success. AI, blockchains and augmented reality are capabilities, not mandatory labels.

Do you take equity?

Paid diagnostics and sprints do not require equity. Venture Co-Build may combine cash and minority equity only through a separate agreement covering valuation, vesting, intellectual property and governance.

Can Agartha raise funds for us?

Investor Readiness Sprint prepares the venture and its documentation. Introductions, regulated activities and any success-linked compensation require a separate mandate and legal review; funding is never guaranteed.

How are project fees paid?

No payment schedule is activated by this page. Deposits, milestones or recurring fees are defined in the written proposal approved for the specific scope before work starts.
