OPERATING METHOD

Six decision gates. Nineteen operational steps.

The 19 stages are not a forced checklist. They form a gate system: no major commitment is made without a decision and enough evidence.

PROJECTS · DOCUMENTED ROLES

What we can document. Nothing more.

Each record states Agartha’s actual role, the public scope and the claim boundary — without conflating an Agartha offer, an accompanied project and a partnership.

Agartha offer or programProject name, official logo pending clearance

A wordmark identifies the project; it does not imply ownership or a current partnership. An official logo replaces it only after the asset and publication right are cleared.

FAQ

Decide before committing.

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 offers are final for the scope stated on this page. ‘From’ offers require a written scope because product complexity, integrations and delivery resources vary. All prices exclude VAT and external 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.

STARTUP · INSIGHT 02

Validate before building an MVP

Before building an MVP, a startup should validate six things: a specific user and painful situation, the current alternative, evidence of demand, the riskiest solution assumption, a reachable acquisition path and basic delivery economics. The required evidence depends on the venture; interviews alone and a polished prototype are not proof of a repeatable business.
