You are co-investing directly into the companies. We operate on a deal-by-deal basis. For each of the 10 ventures in a cohort, we create a separate Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV). You invest directly into the SPV of the company (or companies) you choose, giving you a clean, direct equity stake. This is not a blind pool fund; it is a curated syndicate offering direct access to highly de-risked deals.

None of the above. We are a venture builder.

Accelerators and incubators provide short-term training and mentorship. VC funds provide capital and advisory. We do something fundamentally different: we become your long-term, hands-on operational co-founder. For five years, our teams get in the trenches with you to build your company's financial, technical, and marketing systems from the ground up. We don't just advise; we execute.

Because our model is built on depth, not breadth. A traditional accelerator might have 100 startups in a cohort, offering light-touch support to all. We do the opposite. We dedicate a significant portion of our senior-level operational and strategic resources—the full power of Tech Drive Digital Agency—to a concentrated portfolio of just 10 companies. This deliberate, unscalable focus is the only way to provide the hands-on, C-level partnership required to engineer market-dominating companies

Tech Drive Digital Agency is our proprietary, in-house execution engine. It is the operational powerhouse that provides the "Borrowed C-Suite" and the hands-on teams. This is a critical distinction: we are not outsourcing to a third-party agency. Tech Drive is our partner in this venture. Their incentive is not driven by service fees from the startup. Like you, their primary financial upside is tied to the long-term equity value of the portfolio companies. We all win at the exit.

Our discretion is a core feature of our model, born from the high-stakes nature of our white-label work with sensitive clients like commercial banks and government agencies. However, this confidentiality is for the public-facing website only. As a qualified, prospective investment partner, you will be given full transparency on the key leadership of Kairos Vision and the embedded C-suite from Tech Drive during the due diligence process, under a mutual NDA. We believe in transparency between partners.

Kairos Vision is an initiative of Tech Drive Digital Agency, a global, full-stack execution firm founded by Prince Ozor.

Prince is a multi-disciplinary entrepreneur with a track record of building successful ventures in manufacturing, FMCG, and technology services.

However, our operational model is built on a foundation of elite confidentiality. Tech Drive operates as a white-label partner for high-stakes clients, including commercial banks, government agencies, and global brands under strict NDAs.

For security and confidentiality reasons, we do not publicize our full leadership or operational teams.

When you become a Kairos Vision founder, you gain full, transparent access to your dedicated C-suite and execution teams. For the public, our work remains confidential to protect the competitive advantage of our partners.

We understand this is an unconventional approach. We ask you to judge us not by a list of names on a website, but by the following:

• The Quality of Our Model: The depth and rigor of our 5-year program, which is detailed transparently.

• The Strength of Our Public Partners: The world-class, publicly-named mentors and advisors who have vetted our model and chosen to align with us.

Our confidentiality is not a shield; it is a professional discipline that we extend to our founders. We protect your vision as rigorously as we protect our own.

We are industry-agnostic because our core competency—engineering world-class execution—is universal. However, our model is most potent when applied to ventures with the potential for high-growth, scalable models, and significant market impact. We have deep expertise in sectors ranging from Technology, AI, and Fintech to FMCG, Manufacturing, Energy, and the Creative Industries. The common thread is ambition, not industry.

Our multi-stage vetting process is our first line of risk management. We filter for three core traits beyond the business idea: the founder as a Visionary Architect, an Obsessed Operator, and a Resourceful Capitalist. The final, non-negotiable filter is their own material "skin-in-the-game"—the ₦20M - ₦30M capital commitment. This ensures we are only partnering with founders who have an unwavering conviction and have already proven their resourcefulness.

Tech Drive is the execution engine that powers Kairos Vision. It is a full-service agency with teams in Africa, Europe, and North America, specializing in strategy, technology, media, and global compliance. Since 2018, it has been the invisible force behind the growth of companies across more than a dozen sectors, from scaling fintech platforms to launching global consumer brands. Our anonymous case studies showcase our capabilities, and we can provide a confidential portfolio to serious candidates during the final stages of the vetting process.

This is the core of our thesis. You are not investing in a pre-seed idea. You are investing in a company that, by the time it reaches you, has undergone 7-9 months of intensive, professional execution. It already has a veteran C-suite, an investor-grade financial infrastructure, a market-ready product, and early traction. We present you with a company possessing Series A maturity at a seed-plus price point. The valuation reflects the significant operational and leadership risks that have already been eliminated.

While our "sweet spot" is a venture with a market-ready product, we recognize that some of the most transformative companies begin with a deeply researched and validated idea. We partner with founders who have demonstrated relentless initiative. This means you must have achieved tangible validation, such as:

• A powerful, tested MVP (Minimum Viable Product) or a market-ready service.

• Deep customer discovery, validated problem-solution fit, and a significant waitlist or letters of intent.

• Early traction through pilot programs, initial customers, or early revenue.

We are built to be the fuel and the engine for a vehicle where the chassis has been proven sound, even if the engine isn't fully running yet. We are not the blueprint for a car that exists only in a dream.

It is absolutely not a program fee. It is your "skin in the game." It serves two critical, strategic purposes:

1. It's a Filter: It ensures we are only partnering with resourceful capitalists who have an unwavering belief in their own vision.

2. It's an Alignment Tool: It is the founder's initial capital injection into the operational system we build around them, creating powerful alignment between you, us, and our future investors from day one.

While specifics vary, the principle is clean. At the first external funding round, the cap table will typically consist of the Founder, Kairos Vision (which holds equity in exchange for its operational partnership), and the new investors. We work with founders to ensure the cap table is structured to be healthy and attractive for future funding rounds.

We look for three core, non-negotiable traits that we call the "Anatomy of a Kairos Partner":

1. The Visionary Architect: You don't see the market as it is; you see it as it should be. You are building a category-defining company, not just another competitor.

2. The Obsessed Operator: You have a relentless, almost painful drive for execution. You are not afraid of rigorous systems, transparent accountability, and the immense pressure that comes with building something of consequence.

3. The Resourceful Capitalist: You understand that vision requires fuel. You have the conviction and resourcefulness to secure the initial capital commitment, demonstrating your unwavering belief in your own venture.

You are the CEO. Full stop. Our "Borrowed C-Suite" reports to you. Our execution teams work for you. A core part of your training is learning how to lead this world-class team. While we provide deep guidance, especially in Year 1, you have the authority to steer the vision. Our goal is to systematically increase your autonomy over the 5 years, transitioning from a hands-on "co-pilot" to a strategic "board member" as you and your company mature.

No. We are not looking for founders who can do everything. We are looking for visionary leaders who know how to leverage elite talent. If you are a non-technical founder with a brilliant vision for a tech-enabled business, our model is designed specifically for you. We provide the embedded Chief Technology Officer and the entire development team so you can focus on leading the vision, not managing sprints.

Your role becomes more focused and powerful. We manage the day-to-day, on-the-ground operational execution. This frees you to focus on high-level strategic governance at the board level. You provide the crucial oversight, network access, and global connectivity, while we act as your dedicated execution arm, ensuring your strategic vision is implemented with world-class precision. We welcome our lead investment partners to take a board seat.

It is your first and most critical investment in your own operational infrastructure. This is not a "program fee." It is your skin in the game, and it serves two purposes: it acts as a powerful filter for seriousness and conviction, and it serves as your initial capital injection into the world-class execution engine we build around you from day one. It creates a powerful alignment of interests and proves you are a resourceful leader before our partnership even begins.

Our entire model is engineered to build IPO-ready companies from day one. This commitment to world-class governance, audited financials, and predictable growth is our core strategy for maximizing investor returns.

While an IPO on a global exchange like the NASDAQ or LSE represents the pinnacle of success, our pragmatic thesis is that the most valuable and probable exit path will be strategic acquisition. An IPO-ready company is, by definition, the most attractive and valuable M&A target for major international corporations seeking a de-risked, high-growth entry point into the African market. Our global incorporation support and adherence to international standards are specifically designed to facilitate these high-value transactions.

It means this is not a 9-to-5 engagement. It is a 5-year, all-in mission. In practice, this translates to:

• Radical Honesty: You must be prepared for direct, unfiltered feedback on your strategy, your leadership, and your performance.

• Intense Accountability: You will be held to rigorous, data-driven milestones. Excuses are not part of our vocabulary; results are.

• Unwavering Resilience: You will be pushed to your limits. The journey of building a global company is a marathon of sprints, and we require founders who have the mental and emotional fortitude to endure.

No. You are the CEO. You are the final decision-maker. Our "Borrowed C-Suite" reports to you. Our execution teams work for you. Our role is to provide you with a world-class team and the strategic counsel to lead them effectively. The goal of the 5-year journey is to systematically build your own capabilities and your own team, so that by the end of the program, we can gradually recede, leaving you in command of a self-sustaining, global enterprise.

This is not a simple introduction service; it is a strategic capital event that we engineer. Our process is designed to put you in the strongest possible negotiating position:

• We Build Before We Pitch: For the first 7-9 months, our entire engine is focused on building your product, generating traction, and creating an investor-grade financial and operational infrastructure.

• Our CFO Leads the Charge: Your embedded Chief Financial Officer prepares all materials, builds the valuation model, and stress-tests the business for the rigors of due diligence.

• Access to Our Syndicate: We then present your de-risked, high-traction business to our private, pre-vetted syndicate of global investors who are already aligned with our venture builder model.

• Negotiation as a Team: This is not "negotiation training." You will go into these investor meetings with our veteran CFO by your side, leading the negotiation to secure the best possible terms. The final equity percentage is determined by the market, your company's strength, and this expert-led negotiation—not a fixed number. Our goal is to secure the capital you need at a valuation that is fair to you, your new investors, and us as your operational partners
