News: VentureCap Launches Founder Support Hub — Tools, Mentors, and New KPIs for 2026

Hook: Today VentureCap announces an initiative to centralize operational support for portfolio founders: a Founder Support Hub offering curated tooling credits, mentor hours, and standardized playbooks designed to reduce time-to-scale.

Why We Built the Hub

Founders consistently asked for a single place to access repeatable templates, vetted vendors, and tactical playbooks. The Hub codifies our portfolio playbooks and offers standardized onboarding sprints to reduce early friction.

Core Offerings

• Tooling credits: negotiated credits for design, analytics, and secure docs vendors.
• Mentor hours: on-demand sessions for product, go-to-market, and fundraising.
• Playbooks: standardized guides for onboarding, pricing, and design sprints.

KPIs and Measurement

The Hub tracks new KPIs aligned with capital efficiency: time-to-first-paying-customer, deployment MTTR, and support response times. We’ll publish anonymized benchmarks to help founders set targets. If you’re building support systems in-house, templates like The Ultimate Mentorship Agreement Template help formalize mentor relationships.

Operational Integrations

The Hub links to automation that reduces ticket resolution times and improves route-to-solution. We drew inspiration from smart routing playbooks and case studies such as Case Study: Reducing First Response Time by 40% with Smart Routing.

Founder Stories & Community

We’ll run curated cohort programs that combine micro-habits for founder resilience with practical experiments. Founders interested in structured behavior changes may find guides like Micro-Habits That Compound useful complements to our cohort work. The Hub also supports peer groups and monthly mental health check-ins.

Open Calls and How to Participate

Portfolio companies will be invited to participate during onboarding. External founders seeking access may apply for pilot credits. We’ll evaluate requests based on stage, readiness, and the potential to reduce runway by measurable margins.

Final Note

We built the Founder Support Hub to move beyond advisory emails to measurable, repeatable operational outcomes. For founders and operators, it’s a centralized resource to accelerate growth and reduce time-to-scale.
