KAAM/KAR

10 people. 10 different skills. The fastest startup experimenting machine you'll ever be part of. Build MVPs, validate users, fail fast, win fast.

10 spots. That's it.

The problem.

Every night you open your notes app, scribble something down, close it, and go back to your 9-to-5.

You tell yourself "someday."

You scroll Twitter and watch people half as smart as you raise rounds. You know you could build something. You just can't do it alone.

Most startups die not because the idea was bad — but because they didn't experiment enough. Not enough MVPs built. Not enough user validations done. Too much effort poured into one idea before knowing if anyone even wants it.

What if 10 people could build 10 MVPs, run 10 experiments, and find the one that actually works — all at the same time?

What it looks like.

One room. Ten laptops. A whiteboard that's already full. Someone's shipping a landing page. Someone else is on a cold call. Two people are arguing about whether the MVP needs a login screen (it doesn't). Someone's running numbers on a napkin. There's no agenda. There's no manager. There's just ten people who showed up after work because they'd rather build something real than scroll through LinkedIn pretending they will.

What is Kaam/Kar?

10 smart people with 10 different skill sets come together. Everyone discusses ideas. People individually choose to work on one, two, or more ideas. Whichever idea succeeds — we form a company. Everyone who built it gets an equal split.

That's it. No complexity. An experimenting machine where you build fast, validate fast, and the winning idea becomes a real company.

How it works.

Three ideas (or more). Built in parallel. The best one wins.

01
Meet, Pitch, Pick
Everyone meets. Each person pitches ideas. The group votes on the best 2-3 (or more). You self-select into what excites you. Whoever pitched the idea leads it.
02
Build MVPs. Fast.
Sub-teams build MVPs in parallel. 2-week sprints. Weekly sync. Ship fast, validate with real users, iterate. No overthinking — just building.
03
Double Down on Winners
What's getting traction? Double down. What's not? Pivot or kill. The winning idea becomes a real company. Everyone who built it owns it equally.

The deal. Fully transparent.

We don't hide the framework. Here's exactly how it works.

Equity Split

95% split equally among builders. Kaam/Kar keeps 5%.

The 5% covers organizing, facilitating sprints, resolving conflicts, and keeping the whole machine running.

Vesting for Builders

3-month cliff + 24-month linear. Fully vested at 27 months. Leave before 3 months = nothing.

Keep Your Job

Nobody quits their day job until you've found a full product-market fit. This runs on nights + weekends.

Ideas Are Commodity

Equity is split equally between all builders. No accumulation of power in one person's hands. You build it together, you own it together.

Build in Public

Everything's public. Your work, your name, your learnings. We ship loud.

Advisory Access

Get access to our advisors' network, strategic advice, capital connections, and brand. You're not building in a vacuum.

The structure.

Simple hierarchy that exists to serve the builders, not boss them.

Who we want in the room.

We're not looking for the most impressive resume. We're looking for the person who gets things done.

If you can build, sell, design, code, write, or hustle — we want you.

Who this is NOT for.

  • "Idea guys" with no execution ability
  • People who need to be managed
  • Anyone looking for a free ride
  • People who ghost after Week 2
  • Anyone who wants us to build THEIR idea (that's looking for free labor)
