Built and running in production for
The clinician who has watched the same workflow break for ten years and knows exactly what the fix looks like.
The operator who runs the process by hand today, in spreadsheets and phone calls, and has customers asking for the software.
The founder with letters of intent, a deck, and nobody to build the thing.
Start here
Answer these and we will tell you which track fits, or whether it is too early. Your answers carry over to the application form.
Three ways to work together
Every track runs through the same process. What changes is how much cash you put in, how we recover the rest, and what you need before we start. A first commercial release typically runs £40k to £100k. Deal terms on the other two tracks are set per client; see a sample term sheet.
For funded founders and operators who want speed and clean ownership.
For domain experts with some cash and customers close to paying.
For founders with committed pilot customers who have paid deposits, and no budget.
Limited places. We turn down most Studio Bet applications.
How it works
Each step ends with something you can hold: a decision, a document, or working software. The full build path.
Thirty minutes. An honest yes, no, or not yet, and which track fits.
Short paid discovery. Scope, architecture, cost range and timeline.
A small fixed-fee slice that proves the hardest part works.
Your pilot customers use it. Feedback and first revenue.
The product you can sell, with ownership or an exclusive licence.

Entry product
Two weeks, from £2,500, fixed in writing before we start. It gives investors the technical answers they will ask for, and it names a team ready to build once the round closes.
If you go on to build with us, the fee is credited.

Questions founders ask
Only if you have committed pilot customers who have paid deposits. That is Studio Bet, and it is by selection. Without customers or cash the honest answer is not yet: talk to customers first, get deposits, then apply. If you are raising, the Tech Pack gives investors a credible technical story. The readiness check shows exactly which gaps to close first.
No. The fee is reduced and paced, not zero. You pay a monthly amount from kickoff and every payment is credited to the Build Value. Zero-cash builds only happen under Studio Bet, and only with committed customers.
On Paid Build, you do, in full, on payment. On Founder's Path and Studio Bet, Pixelperinches holds the project IP until the Build Value is recovered and any equity is issued, or until you settle early. You hold an operating licence while payments are current, exclusive worldwide from Commercial acceptance. The deed of assignment is signed at contract signing and held in escrow, so the transfer is mechanical, not a negotiation. Your data and verified content are yours throughout. The sample term sheet sets out each step.
No. You keep the company and the roadmap. Where we hold equity it is a minority stake that vests as we deliver, with a maximum fixed at signing and never renegotiated.
The Fundraising Tech Pack starts at £2,500. A first commercial release on Paid Build typically runs £40k to £100k, depending on scope, roles and compliance. On Founder's Path and Studio Bet, the revenue share, equity maximum and vesting are set per client after scoping and written down before anything starts. Our sample term sheet shows how a typical Founder's Path deal works, with example numbers.
No. We do not put cash into companies. We put the build in and recover it from the product. If you need capital, the Tech Pack gives your investors a credible technical story, and we work alongside whoever funds you.
Genuine commercial failure after a sustained, good-faith push is handled in the contract: the unrecovered balance is reduced and the rest is spread over an agreed period. What the contract does not allow is walking away, rebuilding elsewhere, or selling the company without settling first. Those trigger the balance in cash.
The deal converts to Founder's Path: a paced fee and a capped revenue share replace the zero-cash terms. The equity stake stays as agreed at signing. You get a funded build team without renegotiating from scratch.
Three questions, one recommendation, and a form that already knows your answers. Gaurav reads every application himself.
