The Devland Programme is a startup studio and funding scheme that provides an alternative investment pathway for committed entrepreneurs-in-residence with programme guidance and direct funding through Series A.
Devland was founded by Miles Dotson and Devon Fanfair, both engineers with technology industry pedigree and capital markets experience from M&A to Early-Stage Investments.
Additionally, The Devland startup programme brings together the different viewpoints of entrepreneurs to create innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing issues. Its research initiatives help businesses by providing ecosystem support and funding for entrepreneurs.
This startup studio provides funds to build new innovative ventures with wildly underestimated entrepreneurs. Devland Startup Programme helps entrepreneurs reach early traction with shared resources and alternative funding vehicles.
Similarly, entrepreneurs start as research fellows of Devland and function as members of the studio team. They typically start from zero on a new project without a predetermined destination. Devland functions as co-builders helping to attain critical milestones for the new startup potential they are leading.
Moreover, Devland has invested in many companies that they believed would demonstrate revenue traction and a unique market playbook. These operators have successfully raised capital, managed teams, shown strong commitment, and do not require high touch support.
