About

We love silkscreen posters, venture capital and startups

Shake it and as a result you get the CouchTycoon.net community funding network.

We are a startup founded in Hamburg, Germany with the daffy idea to go Silicon Valley to start a web based public startup financing community. That's one of the reasons for our current roadshow.

It is the idea to enable startup founders to find investors on the internet at a very early stage. Without a big business plan or a filed investment proposal. Just with a convincing idea and an achievable goal. Startup founders should be able to focus on developing a great product - not on 'how to compose a business plan an investor wants to see'.

And it's also the idea that everyone should be able to participate in these great startup ideas. Everyone who likes startups, entrepreneurship, startup founders and great internet services. Without the necessity of spending hundered of thousands of dollars and without any business angel or venture capital expertise.

Oh and there is one more thing. We'd like to bring back the charm of vintage company stocks like those our grandfathers had. That's why we decided to issue silkscreen posters which we call Venture Poster. This way as vendee of a Venture Poster you can show that you appreciate real arts, great design and cool startups too. So chuck away supermarket arts and get real arts from real artists to finance real good ideas.

Maybe you say 'there are enough venture capitalists, business angels and incubators out there, Silicon Valley doesn't need a web based venture capital firm'. We say 'there can't be enough people and companies which finance startups'. We are also startup founders and we know how hard it is to start a company or a new website, especially from outside Silicon Valley. This is one of the reasons why we decided to move our startup to Silicon Valley. But to be able to move our CouchTycoon.net startup to the Valley AND to get a real proof of our concept we finance our own startup with the first edition of Venture Posters called The Bootstrapped Venture.
