Engagement Modes
Four Ways to Work With Us
WE3 is designed as a bespoke consultancy that flexes to different kinds of opportunities. From strategic consulting to venture creation, we structure engagements to match your needs.
Strategic Consulting
High-stakes, complex problems. We partner with corporate clients and private equity firms to drive from insight to implementation.
How it works
A WE3 trio (product, design, engineering) embeds with your team to rapidly understand the challenge and drive from insight to implementation. Unlike a traditional consulting team that might deliver a PowerPoint and leave, our trio stays hands-on through execution.
What you get
- Senior experts who can both think and build
- Actionable strategy and tangible outcomes
- The velocity of a skunkworks team with outside perspective
- Real prototypes, not just recommendations
Best for
- Digital transformation initiatives
- Product strategy and roadmapping
- Customer experience redesign
- Technology assessment and architecture
Co-Building Startups
We become temporary co-founders. Time, expertise, and sometimes capital—with skin in the game through equity or profit-share.
How it works
We invest our time and expertise to build early-stage ideas alongside the founding team. Our interdisciplinary trio works to rapidly validate the concept, build the MVP, and find product-market fit. We don't just advise—we build together.
What you get
- A ready-made senior product/design/engineering team from day zero
- Massively accelerated development
- Aligned incentives through equity or profit-share
- Network access to specialists and potential investors
Best for
- Pre-seed and seed-stage startups
- Corporate spin-outs needing rapid execution
- Solo founders who need a technical co-founder team
- Ideas that need fast validation and iteration
Venture Creation
Ideas we originate or source from our community. Validated, incubated, and spun out as independent companies.
How it works
When we spot a real market gap—either from our own brainstorms or from our community—we rally our trio and resources to explore it. Promising concepts go through validation and, if they gain traction, we formally incubate them under WE3's roof before spinning them out.
What we provide
- Seed funding and operational support
- Full stack of product/design/engineering talent
- Mentorship and strategic guidance
- Network of entrepreneurs and potential partners
What we're looking for
- Ideas with clear market validation potential
- Problems we're passionate about solving
- Community members with founder potential
- Opportunities that align with our values
