Northlight builds a business to done — product, brand, infrastructure — then hands it to one founder to run and own. No coding, no fundraising. You bring the drive; you take the majority of the upside.
Each is built and live — not a pitch deck. Open them; they're the actual products. One could be yours to run. We place the best-fit founder in each.
Live wait times, a virtual line and a Google-review engine for barbershops and salons. One line of code.
Finds Australian businesses quietly ready to sell — before they reach a broker. Off-market deal intelligence.
Lets accounting firms sell grant & funding advisory as a billable service — powered by live government data.
Catches missed calls, cuts no-shows, and grows reviews for clinics & allied health. Front desk, automated.
An AI receptionist that answers every call for tradies and home-service businesses, so they never miss a job.
You don't need to code or raise a cent. You need to be sharp, hungry, and ready to own something real.
A finished product with paying-customer potential — done before you arrive, and the tech kept alive in the background.
You own the majority, front the customers, and drive the growth. Your name, your focus, your upside.
The studio maintains the product and infrastructure — so it can't be pulled from under you, and you never touch code.
The safe path got narrower and lower-paid. Nobody tells ambitious people that the alternative to a capped salary is owning the thing itself.
We built the other door: run a real company from week one — and own it.
We place one founder per company, so the bar is real. The whole process takes days, not months.
Three questions — which company pulls you, and why you'd own it. No CV theatre.
Shortlisted founders give a two-minute pitch on how they'd run it, then talk it through with the studio.
One founder signs the ownership deal and starts that day — with the studio building underneath. Then we open the next.
Tell us who you are and why you'd own it. We read every application. First intake closes Friday 17 July.
