Question 1

Who is AXIS/LAUNCH. for?

Accepted Answer

For anyone with a digital idea - whether it's an app, platform, or web application. You don't need technical knowledge or your own budget. Whether you're a first-time founder, a young startup, or a vibe coder who needs professional quality - anyone can pitch their idea.

Question 2

Do I need money to participate?

Accepted Answer

No. Participation in the AXIS/LAUNCH. program is completely free. You just need a good idea. If we believe in your project, we handle the entire technical implementation - development, hosting, and cyber security. Instead of an invoice, we agree on a fair equity stake. That way we grow together.

Question 3

How does the equity model work?

Accepted Answer

Instead of sending you an agency invoice, we invest all our know-how - development, hosting, security - and receive a stake in your company. This means: we have the same interest as you in making your product successful. Fair terms that we discuss individually.

Question 4

Are you co-founders?

Accepted Answer

No. We are not co-founders and don't act as such. We are a professional technology team that participates in your company's success through an equity stake. You retain full entrepreneurial control - we deliver the technology.

Question 5

Do you have experience in my industry?

Accepted Answer

With 15+ years and 50+ projects, we have expertise in SaaS, marketplaces, B2B tools, fintech, HealthTech, Legal Tech and more. We're happy to discuss your specific requirements.

Question 6

What happens after I submit my idea?

Accepted Answer

We review your pitch and get back to you within 48 hours. In an initial conversation, we clarify whether the idea fits our program and what a collaboration could look like. Everything is non-binding and free.

Question 7

How long does development take?

Accepted Answer

Typically 2-3 months for an MVP, depending on complexity and feature scope. The first phase (analysis & kickoff) takes about a week. Then we start with agile 2-week sprints and deliver visible results continuously.

Question 8

Can I come to you with an existing MVP?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Many founders come to us with a functioning but flawed MVP. We do an audit, optimize the code, implement security and build new features. Often a professional rewrite is a better strategy than maintaining insecure code.

Question 9

What exactly do you do?

Accepted Answer

Everything technical: full-stack development (web apps, APIs, SaaS platforms), enterprise-grade hosting on German servers, and professional cyber security with penetration testing and ongoing audits. You focus on your vision and business - we focus on the technology.

Question 10

Do I need a tech co-founder?

Accepted Answer

No. That's exactly what AXIS/LAUNCH is for. We are your technical team. Your entrepreneurial vision, market understanding, and passion are what matters. We handle the entire tech stack, security, and infrastructure.

Question 11

What is your approach to security and compliance?

Accepted Answer

Security-first mentality: OWASP best practices, GDPR compliance, regular security audits and penetration testing. Enterprise-grade standards from day one. We build as if it were a Fortune 500 product.

Question 12

Is my app GDPR compliant?

Accepted Answer

Yes. GDPR is integrated from the start: privacy by design, user control over their data, secure storage and backup. All data stays in Germany on German servers.

Question 13

How confidential is my pitch?

Accepted Answer

100% confidential. Your idea is safe with us. Upon request, we will of course sign an NDA before the first conversation. We take the protection of your idea very seriously.

Question 14

What happens after launch?

Accepted Answer

We stay by your side. 24/7 monitoring, quick bug fixes, security updates, and feature development. Through our equity model, we share the same goal: growing together and making the product successful.

Question 15

Can you connect me with investors?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We have a large network of VCs, angels, and successful founders. We help with intros, pitch deck feedback, and mentoring. That's part of our commitment as a partner.
