Our Pricing Models

At Hone Ventures, we believe in the power of flexibility. Recognizing that every startup has a unique journey, our pricing model is designed to cater to your needs while maintaining our commitment to providing exceptional service and strategic insights. We offer two distinct options.

 

This dual-pricing strategy caters to diverse financial situations, ensuring you have access to the best consulting services regardless of your budget. It’s a win-win solution, fueling your success today, tomorrow, and beyond.

Full-Price Consultancy

Our first option offers a straightforward approach to our consulting services—a full-priced fee grants startups immediate access to our extensive experience and resources. With no hidden clauses, it's pure professional guidance at your fingertips. This model allows for predictable cash flow and guarantees that you benefit from top-tier expertise and resources.

Deferred Payment Model

Our second option, the deferred payment model, ties our success to yours. Here, we reduce our upfront consulting fees, deferring the balance until a milestone is reached - like securing an investment round or achieving a specific sales target. This innovative model alleviates initial financial burdens and aligns our interests with your success, fostering a partnership based on shared objectives and mutual growth. When milestones are met, we convert the deferred payments into shares in your startup, making us invested stakeholders in your journey.
