Building tomorrows next big thing today...

At V1, we’re redefining what it means to build and scale high-growth digital ventures. Our approach combines strategic incubation, hands-on support, and cutting-edge blueprints to take Global Digital Small Medium Ventures (GDSMVs) from early-stage ideas to thriving enterprises.

Using the T2D3 Growth Model, we drive sustainable, capital-efficient growth, setting our ventures on a path to scale rapidly and efficiently. Here’s how we turn visionary concepts into globally impactful businesses.

Our Approach

At V1, our approach to building and scaling businesses is different by design. We don’t follow traditional venture capital models. Instead, we incubate and scale Global Digital Small Medium Ventures (GDSMVs) — digitally enabled, high-margin companies that are positioned for sustainable global growth. 

Our focus is not just on initial capital efficiency, but on a long-term growth trajectory that maximizes value creation, both for our ventures and their stakeholders.

Investment Philosophy: Incubate, Scale, and Exit Smart

We fund startups initially from our own balance sheet and resources. This allows us to maintain full control and ensure that we’re building ventures that align with our vision for sustainable success. 

From the very beginning, we’re actively involved — not just with capital, but with hands-on support, proven blueprints, and an operational playbook designed to drive success

Our 3 staged pathway to scale 

Milestone 1 

Once a venture hits its
$1M ARR (Annual recurring income) milestone (M1),
we pivot to scaling it using the
T2D3 Growth Model:

T2

T2  = Triple revenue
each year for
the first 2 years after
achieving M1

D3

Double revenue
each year for the
next 3 years
= $72 Mill ARR
at the end of 5 years 
This model enables us to move from $1M ARR to $50M+ ARR in just 5 years — a trajectory achievable by lean, focused, high-margin digital ventures built for scale from day one.

Why T2D3 Works for GDSMVs

T2D3 aligns perfectly with our venture philosophy for three key reasons:


It focuses on sustainable scaling — No need for hyper-funded, cash-burn unicorns. We drive intelligent, capital-efficient growth.

It creates milestone clarity — Everyone knows what success looks like each year. Founders, teams, and investors stay aligned with clear expectations.

It compounds long-term value — By hitting T2D3 numbers, our ventures become category leaders with high enterprise value and exit optionality.

Venture Creation: Green Light, Red Light, and Strategic Focus

At V1, we focus on quality over quantity. For every 20 ideas we work on, only 3-4 will get the green light. We rigorously test each concept, ensuring it has a strong product-market fit, differentiation, and scalable economics before moving forward.

This disciplined approach means we only focus on ventures with the strongest growth potential and those that align with our commitment to capital-efficient, high-margin business models. We aren’t just looking for short-term wins — we’re incubating companies that will become industry leaders in their digital sectors.

Blueprints for Success

We leverage proven blueprints that are battle-tested in the market to ensure each venture has the right foundation for sustainable growth. Some of the key blueprints we use include:

  • Meta Visions — Crafting a clear vision for the future that acts as a guiding North Star for the business.

  • Financial Modelling — Based on real analytics and dynamic financial forecasting to ensure ventures are built with a solid runway.

  • Capital Runways — Optimizing funding strategies and ensuring ventures have the necessary capital to scale rapidly without diluting equity unnecessarily.

  • Tech Stacks — Building scalable, flexible tech infrastructures that enable fast growth and adaptability.

  • Go-To-Market (GTM) Strategies — Tapping into the right channels and strategies to ensure fast, efficient market penetration.

  • Leveraging AI & Data — Applying cutting-edge AI technologies and data analytics to maximize performance, growth, and customer acquisition.

These blueprints are designed to streamline execution, mitigate risks, and accelerate growth for our ventures — ensuring they’re set up for success from day one.

Our Portfolio Vision

Over the next 5 years, our meta vision is to build and scale 20 GDSMVs (Global Digital Small Medium Ventures) from idea to $1M ARR and beyond. We start with our own balance sheet, carefully incubating and funding each venture to hit that critical M1 milestone. Then, once the venture hits its stride, we apply the 2T3D model, focusing on tripling revenue for two years and doubling it for the following 3 years.


This strategic approach allows us to scale ventures efficiently, reach global digital dominance, and build businesses that can provide lasting impact, profit, and sustainability.

We aren’t focused on “unicorns.” We’re focused on building real, sustainable companies that will thrive in a digital-first future.

Key Takeaways

  • Incubate from our own balance sheet: We fund startups initially with our own resources and keep a majority stake, ensuring strong alignment and commitment to long-term success.

  • Green-light, red-light decision-making: Only the strongest concepts and ideas make it through our rigorous incubation process.

  • The T2D3 Growth Model: From M1 to high-growth scaling — tripling revenue for two years, then doubling it for three.

  • Proven blueprints: Meta vision, financial modelling, tech stacks, GTM, and AI — all incorporated to ensure efficient,
    scalable growth.
