Why HeyCo. exists

A repeatable company-building platform.

HeyCo. is a Venture Studio.

We build a portfolio of category leaders — each owning one vertical with a standardized product system.

Every portfolio company solves one important business problem — helping other businesses acquire customers, increase visibility, generate revenue or improve operations.

A repeatable company-building platform — lean teams of 3–5, AI as operating leverage, profitable from day one.

Portfolio criteria

What belongs in the portfolio.Everything else is out.

  • 01

    Profitable from day one

    Each venture is built as a service business that can make money early — not a burn-first experiment waiting for product-market fit.

  • 02

    One category. One product system.

    Every company owns a single vertical with a standardized offer — customer acquisition, outreach, AI visibility and similar. One mandate. Not a pile of side projects.

  • 03

    Real business problems only

    We build where companies already spend: acquiring customers, automating operations, procurement and other revenue-critical work.

  • 04

    Runnable by 3–5 people

    The operating model must stay lean for years — a small team can run and scale the company without building a large organization.

  • 05

    CHF 1M+ in year one

    Each venture is designed with a clear path to more than CHF 1M revenue in the first business year.

  • 06

    AI as operating leverage

    AI accelerates building, delivery and processes — lower cost, higher speed, less headcount dependency.

Portfolio math

10–20 ventures × CHF 2–5M each = CHF 20–100M portfolio revenue potential.
