2 months ago


Singapur, Singapore Rainmaking APAC Full time

Are you a budding Innovator with the itch to solve a real problem, with IP in hand that’s primed for commercialisation? Are you a first-time Founder ready to connect your innovation to industry?

We are on the lookout for technical leaders and industry experts with strong IP who are excited to create real change in their industry. 

Rainmaking APAC Venture Studio is the place to be if forming ideas, testing business concepts, validating customer demand, and preparing to spinout new startups is something you’re excited by. Being an early stage B2B (or B2B2C) startup is not easy, from access to funding, to regulatory barriers and go-to-market. We’re here to help solve these challenges with you. 

Our 100-Day FIR program is a unique opportunity to build, test and refine your venture, maximising the likelihood of your success. Following validation, you will step into the CEO role of your company. 

This program is the one for you if:
  1. You have a high-impact idea and IP that you’re convinced by, but don’t know how to take it forward into a material business
  2. You’re an expert in an industry space or synergistic domain, and have spotted a material problem, but you’re not sure what ‘the’ idea should be to solve it yet

Why build with us?
  • We’re industry agnostic with a strong track record in a range of technical fields including energy, renewables & sustainability, heavy industry (carbon capture, hydrogen) agriculture, new world experiences & AI, and automotive, to name a few 
  • We’re laser focused. One of the challenges of entrepreneurship is ‘keeping the main thing, the main thing’. We are here to ensure you’re ruthlessly prioritising the activities that bring maximum impact 
  • We aren’t an accelerator or running a competition for funding. Instead, we take a small handful of high calibre innovators through the complex stages of 0-1 and will dig deep with you, even during the most challenging times 
  • Driven by impact and making a difference in the world is our thing. We love enabling new ventures, and new entrepreneurs, to thrive

What we offer:

  • De-risking of your venture: work with the Rainmaking APAC team to validate your IP and it’s potential in-market 
  • Dedicated 1:1 support: you’ll be paired with a Rainmaking APAC ‘Co-Founder’ for the period of the program. We are your partner to bring value chain insights to accelerate the successful launch of your business 
  • Commercial traction: we’ll support you in establishing market traction and rapid experimentation to find your first customer and ensure commercial potential  
  • Ecosystem exposure: we’ll support you in developing connections with talent and investors to take you through your seed round and establish solid foundations for your business

What we don’t offer:

  • Payment: this is a ‘volunteer’ program for committed entrepreneurs 
  • Guaranteed seed funding: this will come from an external, ‘in the wild’ route such as angel investors 

Requirements

To make the most of our program you must:

  • Bring deep domain expertise with some form of IP and/or tech readiness that you are hungry to test the traction of in-market 
  • Have deeply thought about entrepreneurship as your next step, and be convinced that being a Founder / CEO is the right path for you. You have your eyes wide open to the rollercoaster you’re about to embark on 
  • Approach your upcoming journey as an entrepreneur with a growth mindset, excited about being coached in the commercial world 
  • Be financially secure - you have the financial stability to commit fully to your venture without immediate financial pressures during the FIR program 
  • Have the required combination of strong vision and dedication to execution to successfully get your venture off the ground 
  • Be available, refreshed and ready to start in September  

Benefits

Our Promise:

Working with us will be energising. It will be challenging, entrepreneurial, sometimes scrappy, and deeply fulfilling. You will work with passionate, ambitious, action-oriented people, enthused by building businesses and having a positive impact on the world.

Our Values & Culture:

We strive to build and grow businesses that break new ground and unlock human potential through entrepreneurship. We want to deliver significant positive impact both for ourselves and to the world in which we live.

We have built a strong ethical code. It encompasses not just what we do, but how we do it. Our values can be summarised as: be entrepreneurial, be impactful, be kind. We believe that how you engage with people makes all the difference.

We recruit, employ, train and compensate regardless of race, religion, national origin, sex, disability, age, veteran status, and other protected status. We're committed to being a place where a diverse mix of talented people choose to come and thrive.
