Founders
You have a real idea, or you already have early customers, and you want to build an AI-first business with a partner. You stay the founder. We build with you.
Rez2CEO Ventures
We build AI-first businesses with Indigenous founders, from the rez up.
If you have a real idea, early customers, or you are a Nation ready to start a business, you can apply to build with us.
What this is
Not a fund. Not an accelerator.
Not a fund. Not an accelerator.
A partner that builds with you.
We do not hand over a cheque and walk away. We do not run a short program and send you off. Rez2CEO sits with Indigenous founders and Nations, and we build the business together. moccs and its helpers do the day-to-day AI work. You stay in charge of what goes out. We cannot promise funding or a result.
- We stay for the build, not only the kickoff.
- moccs and its helper agents sit behind the venture from day one.
- Your stories, art and data stay yours. We follow OCAP.
- If we go ahead, we agree in writing how upside is shared.
Who this is for
Founders, and Nations ready to start.
You do not need a finished company. You do need a real idea, or early customers, or a Nation ready to build a business. This is not a fit if you only want a cheque, or if there is nothing yet to build.
Nations
Your Nation is starting its own business and wants a partner that will sit with you, use moccs for the busywork, and keep your information under OCAP.
What you get
What we bring to the build.
These are real things we already do. We will not dress them up with counts we cannot stand behind.
01
Trent's network
Introductions to people who may help the venture. A connection is not a promise of funding or a sale.
02
The Mandate-Building Playbook
A clear way to set the mandate, the offer and the next steps, in plain language.
03
Rezpreneur Nights and the REZ2CEO Circle
A community around the work. Email moccs@rez2ceo.com for the next date.
04
moccs and its helper agents
The AI behind every venture: funding search, plans, outreach, sites, posts and admin, with you checking the work before it goes out.
How it works
Apply, meet, build, share.
1
Apply
Tell us who you are, the idea, and the stage. Use the apply button on this page.
2
Meet
If there may be a fit, we meet and talk it through. Applying does not mean we will build together.
3
Build together
We use the Mandate-Building Playbook, and moccs and its helpers, for the work. You approve anything that goes out.
4
Share upside
If we build together, we agree equity or a revenue share in writing before we start. We will be clear. We do not put a percentage on this page, because it depends on the work.
The difference
Add AI later, or
The usual way
How we build
Add AI later, or
build from AI.
A lot of businesses try to stick a helper on top of work that was never designed for one. We would rather start with the helper in the plan.
Add AI later
You build the business first, then try to bolt a helper on top. The tools do not know the work, and you still do most of it yourself.
Build from AI
The business is designed so moccs and its helpers can take the busywork from day one, while you make the decisions. That is how we build with you.
Questions
Things people ask before they apply.
Do you take equity?
If we build together, we share upside through equity or a revenue share. We agree the terms in writing before we start. We do not put a set percentage on this page.
Who should apply?
Founders with a real idea or early customers, and Nations starting their own businesses. If you only want a cheque, this is not the right path.
What happens after I apply?
We read every application. If there may be a fit, we will get in touch to meet. Applying does not mean we will build together.
How do you treat our stories and data?
We follow OCAP. Your stories, art and client lists stay yours. We do not share them without your consent.
Is this only for people in Saskatchewan?
Rez2CEO is 100% Indigenous-owned and based in Saskatchewan. Founders and Nations from across Canada can apply.
