For introducers
Who to send, and who not to
Windmill builds the product. The operator pays from revenue. We take a handful of partnerships a year because we fund every build ourselves — so a precise intro is worth more than a long list.
Send someone who
- Knows the buyers in wealth or health, and can name them
- Will run the company and sell
- Does not want to fund the build from cash or give a permanent equity stake to a studio
Do not send
- Idea-stage founders with no route to a buyer
- People looking for a development quote
- Anyone wanting a cheque without running the business
The deal, in four numbers
- $0
- Upfront. No fee, no retainer during the build.
- 0%
- Equity by default. They keep the company.
- 6%
- Of gross revenue from $25K MRR or the first paying enterprise client, whichever comes first.
- 2.5×
- Then it ends, or 48 months after activation, whichever comes first.
If the product does not sell, they owe Windmill nothing. IP is theirs from the first commit. They stay CEO.
How an intro works
- 01
Warm intro to Sunny Gambhir, Founder and CEO: hello@windmill.ventures.
- 02
Fit call within two working days. We say no quickly when it is not a fit.
- 03
If it is a fit: two-week scope, funded by Windmill, then a signed build value.
