You get the internal tool in 8-12 weeks. We do the heavy lifting to make it market-ready and commercialize it.
We test multiple ideas, kill the weak ones early, and give the strongest venture real build time.
Multiple solution paths tested. One internal product shipped. Spin-off only if the evidence is real.
Something that already costs time, money, errors, or risk.
We try a few credible approaches before committing to one build.
By week 10, you have a usable tool for your team.
If it’s repeatable, we position it and market it to similar companies.
This is paid investor access during the cycle: the live experiment log, metrics, and decision memos. The fee is for access (not an investment). If we spin out a venture and open an investment round, you get invited first — and if you invest, we credit your access fees against your investment amount (up to what you paid), under separate terms.
Live experiment log, weekly decision memos, and the numbers behind every pivot, kill, and double-down.
Interview summaries, landing pages, outreach scripts, and results. Enough detail to build conviction — or walk away.
If a spin-off happens and we open an investment, you’re invited first. If you invest, your access fees are credited against your investment amount (up to fees paid). No guaranteed allocation.
Industry operators and investors who want evidence before writing cheques — not a pitch deck and vibes.
Sponsors leave the cycle with a working internal product shipped for real use. If the evidence shows repeatable demand outside your company, Variant Work takes the lead: we form the spin-off and handle the heavy lifting to commercialize it—product hardening, positioning, and outbound—so you get upside without building a startup team.
Every cycle lives inside a shared portal – sponsors and observers see the same experiments, metrics and decisions across all ventures.
We test multiple solution paths early, then commit to the smallest useful product and ship it.
Start with 3–5 workflow pains. Narrow to 2–3 with real cost. Map 3–4 solution approaches before we build.
Run fast tests: calls, landing pages, prototypes, concierge trials, pricing signals. Kill at least one path and pick one primary build.
Ship the smallest useful tool for the sponsor’s team. Instrument it, rollout to pilot users, iterate quickly.
Sponsors finish with a working internal product. If demand is repeatable, Variant Work leads spin-off execution. If not, we stop external push.
Spin-off Engine is the micro-venture arm of Variant Work. We've shipped multiple web products and single-feature tools for small businesses — from conversational CRMs and booking flows to education and referral tracking tools.
Our stack is boring on purpose: SvelteKit, MongoDB and a library of battle-tested modules we reuse across ventures. No pitch theatre. Just short cycles, clear gates and hard decisions.
If you're not sure whether Cycle #1 is for you, these cover most of the first calls we'd have anyway.
Each cycle is a fixed-time build cycle. Sponsors fund the internal product build. Investor Access seats pay for inside visibility during the cycle — not equity.
A usable internal product shipped in 10 weeks. If the evidence supports external demand, Variant Work leads the spin-off and go-to-market.
Follow the build closely and use the product internally. If we spin it out, you can participate in the upside under pre-agreed commercial terms.
Paid access to the inside data: experiments, metrics, and decision memos. If we spin out and open an investment, you’re invited first — and if you invest, your access fees are credited against your investment amount (no guaranteed allocation).
No surprise invoices. Prices are per cycle, agreed up front. Investment (if any) is separate.
We're running a tightly scoped cycle. 2–3 ventures tested. One primary build. A limited number of investor access seats for people who want the inside data.
No spam, no hype. We'll send you the Cycle #3 one-pager and a short form.
