What We Look For

COCKY VENTURES isn't for everyone... and that's the point.

We're intentional about who we partner with because the stakes are high on both sides. We bring real execution power, deep resources, and high-level strategy to the table. In return, we expect vision, commitment, and a business that’s ready to grow. If you're applying to work with us, here's what we look for.






Founder Traits

We work best with founders who are:

  • Relentlessly resourceful
  • Clear on their vision but open to collaboration and ideas
  • Able to make business decisions quickly and confidently
  • Willing to hand off what they don’t do best for growth
  • Committed to building something bigger than themselves

We don’t need you to be polished. We need you to be real, driven, and all-in.


Who You Are

Business Stage

Each business is different, and we will chat if you're in one of these stages:

  • Pre-revenue with a clear plan for your offer and your customer
  • Early stage revenue with a strategy for sales
  • Consistent revenue in need of a strategic partner
  • Strong growth and looking for explosive growth

You don’t need to have it all figured out. But you should have the foundation in place to build quickly.

Where You're At

How to Stand Out

Here’s what catches our attention:

  • A strong brand point of view and creative identity
  • Proof of concept: early traction, waitlists, or loyal customers
  • A deep understanding of your numbers and margins
  • Honest self-awareness around what’s not working
  • A big-picture plan

The founders who stand out are the ones who show up prepared, with a clear story and a bold ambition.

What We Avoid

We’re not the right partner for:

  • Hobby businesses or part-time projects without scalability
  • Businesses with no interest in building momentum
  • Founders without a foundational understanding of business
  • Anyone just looking for "marketing help"

This is a strategic growth partnership, not an agency contract. If you're not ready to collaborate, move fast, and think bigger, we’re not your people.


What’s Not a Fit

We only accept minimal projects per year.

Built for Founders Who Build Differently


We partner with ambitious founders who aren’t just launching businesses, they’re creating category-defining brands. Whether you’re pre-seed and shaping your vision or scaling toward acquisition, we provide the strategy, execution, and network to take you further, faster.

Our team works alongside you to refine your positioning, build the right infrastructure, and navigate the complexities of growth. With us, founders don’t just raise capital, they build companies that last.



We want to hear your idea.
