Sometimes a journey of a thousand miles begins from first charting the right course. We're here to cut through the clutter and get your from idea, to proof, to funding, in an innovative new way.

We let them test ideas in the real world to drive it into valid businesses ready for investment. Members can join as investors, founders (new startups), co-founders (Talentpreneurs™) or sponsors.
While we primarily focus on the Proof of Concept phase, should good founders lack the skills or funds, Prooff is also pioneering the concept of TalentpreneursTM. TalentpreneursTM contribute their time and skills on the "Fair Share Principle" in exchange for shares or part-ownership. This not only prevents promising startups from stalling, but it also allows talented entrepreneurs (TalentpreneursTM) without ideas to join existing startups as co-founders.
List your skills, resources or ideas. Gain access to the Entrepreneurial Community portal. The best ideas will be vetted and selected for mentoring or partnerships in the Prooff ignition Program.
Based on factors such as interest, necessity, skills, location, etc. TalentpreneursTM, interns and investors may be selected for collaboration, partnership or shares where applicable.

Looking for dedicated startuppers
Bring a skill (or ideas), alongside a commitment to success, and join or build a motivated team that delivers. The more value you generate, the more you become the boss and owner of a project.
If you are an entrepreneur by heart but currently don't have any businesses ideas look at join existing startup teams needing skills.
Grow your wealth by investing time, not money, as a co-founder into startups with huge potential. Prooff builds talented co-founder teams, to bootstrap good ideas.
Today’s interns are brimming with fresh ideas, raw talent, and a hunger to learn and contribute. The Prooff intern program is an exhilarating career path like no other.
Invest in teams who already has Proof of Concept. Suitably skilled teams, with a verified Proof of Concept, are an excellent starting point for considering investment.
Falling into a new category, Proof is an ignition program. We focus on shorter term engagements (1-4 months) to prove and test ideas fast and efficiently, for as little costs as possible. We focus on pressing a higher turnover to help more startups in volume, with a lower barrier of entry to qualify. We focus on startup applicants that have good communication skills, whose ideas can scale, be validated quickly, and who can join the program remotely.
In 80% of the cases, Proof of Concept is the path of least cost from idea stage to funding. When rallying co-founder teams that work for shares, it is important to maintain focus and motivation. Validating your ideas at an early stage proves that you are on the correct track, before investing too much time and money on development.
The single most costly reason why businesses fail, is that they jump in without validating their idea. Sadly, then it's too late. Ironically, validating ideas first is low risk, costs less, and can lead to profitability much quicker. This is why Prooff guides entrepreneurs to think differently about their approach to the market. Many ideas can be proven and tested fast. In fact, some businesses can be launched and produce sales even before their is a product.

Build A Fundable Business With Us
Prooff is assisting startups worldwide with turning ideas into scalable businesses. From advisors, investors, mentors, and entrepreneurs, Prooff provides all the resources required to drive startup participants to the perfect fit for their startups. How does it work?
Talentpreneurs™ invest time, not money.
Talentpreneurs™ are people who accumulate wealth without investing money. Instead, they invest their time, skills, and effort to earn "Sweat-Equity" or part ownership. Talentpreneurs™ are normal, dedicated people like you, who possess the skills, experience, or knowledge required to form a startup. From young developers to experienced lawyers. Prooff is reinventing the appearance of investors. Prooff is also revolutionizing the process of how business ideas are to be converted into multimillion dollar companies, through a process of cherry picking and pre-approving the best startup ideas, subsequently establishing small, volunteer, and co-founded teams, in a drive towards wealth.
What is "fair"? It is fair when every person who contributes value to the successful implementation of a business idea, and their companies, are valued on an equal level, and is genuinely involved in the company as well as its success.
You determine the extent of your contributions in an analogue and digitally accompanied, social process within your teams, the so-called "product partnerships".
In conjunction with the Faculty of Business, Economics and Social Sciences at the University of Tübingen, we have developed a system and algorithm that ensures that the income from the product partnership will be distributed fairly and proportionally, based on the resulting distribution. This is what we call "Fair Share".
