Rich's New Investment Thesis | Episode 5 | The Journey to £16 Million

What happens when you collapse the speed of venture building?In this week’s Founder Therapy, Doug grills Rich on his new initiative: the Transformer Program. It’s a category somewhere between an incubator, accelerator, dev shop and studio. The goal? Take a founder from idea to live product in 12 weeks using AI tools, micro-signals of intent and stage-gated capital.Rich breaks down the thinking behind the model, the failures that shaped it, and why the next six months are all about testing. From startup cohorts to stealth AI-infused eCommerce, the conversation covers positioning, equity and how to find the most underpriced founders.We get into:What makes a startup “transformer-worthy”Why incubators and accelerators miss the mark for early ideasA smarter approach to capital and equity at pre-seedHow to spot founders who move faster than the marketThis is the kickoff of something new. Rich says it’s a new category. Doug says it’s a lot of jargon. Either way, it's on.Remember to like and subscribe to our channel. Want to get to know us a little better?
