Elyvo is a global Venture Studio and Dev Studio, with a presence in Singapore and Dubai. We are currently expanding into New York City, SF Bay Area, and the rest of the United States (U.S.).

We have rebranded our established Dev Studio recently, to expand into the Venture Studio space to help Founders with mentorship and strategic advisory, and/or Tech Development for their promising startup ideas and promising startup projects.

We’re looking for you, if you’re an aspiring Founder with a good business idea (looking for mentorship and strategic advisory and/or Tech Development support) to build an exciting startup to disrupt the status quo in an exciting industry.

Or if you’re already an existing Founder, looking for mentorship and strategic advisory, and/or wanting to build or enhance the Tech Dev competencies of your existing startup.

With our Tech Development expertise and mentoring/advisory capabilities, our vision is to partner with as many promising startup founders in United States (U.S.) and all over the world, to build out local, regional and global powerhouse projects, that can excel and dominate in their respective niches.

We’ll be your Business Mentors and Tech Advisors, and provide strategic guidance, advice and support in all key areas (ie. product, tech, legal, finance, business development, fundraising, and talent) to help your project quickly go from Zero to One.

As a Startup Founder, You Will Be Responsible For:

oDesigning commercial, product, and growth strategies

oBuilding, leading, and motivating a strong team

oOverseeing all operations and business activities to ensure they produce the desired results and are consistent with the overall strategy and mission

oAnalyzing problematic situations and occurrences and providing solutions to ensure company survival and growth

oReviewing financial and non-financial results to devise solutions or improvements

oMaintaining deep knowledge of the market and industry of the company

oBuilding trust with key partners and stakeholders

oPresenting the Company's vision, roadmap, and results to shareholders and potential investors

What We’re Looking for in a Potential Founder

We’re seeking a dynamic, driven individual with the vision, grit, and capability to found and lead a startup from the ground up.

You’ll be the kind of person who thrives in ambiguity, thinks independently, and relentlessly drives toward bold outcomes.

This is clearly NOT a job and offers NO salary — it’s a commitment to building your very own impactful and earth-shattering startup over the next few years.

You should have:

• Exceptional communication and storytelling skills in English (both verbal and written), with a proven ability to pitch, sell, and rally others around your ideas.
• An entrepreneurial mindset — resourceful, analytical, and comfortable navigating unstructured problems with limited resources.
• A founder's mentality — relentless ownership, bias for action, and a deep desire to build from scratch and bootstrap.
• Willingness to commit long-term (3+ years and more ideally) to your own startup journey, through highs and lows.
• Comfort with uncertainty and fast-paced environments, where experimentation, failure, and learning are part of the daily rhythm.
• Strong leadership and collaboration skills, with the humility to learn and the courage to lead.

Bonus points if you have:

• Prior experience founding or co-founding a startup or leading a major initiative.
• Domain expertise in a fast-growing or underserved sector.
• Technical fluency or experience working closely with product and engineering teams.
• A track record of execution — whether you've taken something from 0 to 1, built side projects, launched products, or hustled through complex challenges.

Benefits: What You’ll Gain as a Startup Founder with Elyvo:

• Full Tech Development Support – End-to-end product design and engineering resources to build your MVP or scale your platform. (Note: For our Tech Development services, we’re very selective and will only accept part-cash, part-equity payment from very promising startups. However, if any startup is willing to fully fund their own tech development, our Dev Studio is ever ready to provide a fee proposal and assist with your startup’s tech needs.)
• Hands-On Mentorship & Strategic Advisory – Access to experienced entrepreneurs, tech leaders, and domain experts guiding you through product, growth, fundraising, and more.
• Speed to Market – Rapid prototyping and go-to-market execution powered by our agile tech teams and proven frameworks.
• Fundraising Readiness – Guidance on investor deck creation, pitching, introductions to early-stage investors, and fundraising strategy.
• Operational Infrastructure – Legal, finance, and back-office support to streamline your focus on growth and execution.
• Credibility & Network – Leverage the Elyvo and Startup Vestor brands and ecosystems of partners, mentors, and startup peers to open doors and build faster.
• Founder Equity – You retain full/majority equity ownership in the startup you build, as we take equity only when (1) we step in as mentor/strategic advisor, or (2) as part payment for our Tech Development services, with long-term strategic partnership alignment.
• Community of Builders – Join a tribe of ambitious, like-minded startup Founders and Collaborators across sectors and geographies.
• Long-Term Collaboration – Opportunity to continue scaling your startup within the Elyvo and Startup Vestor ecosystems.
