# Performous

It owns and operates businesses across e-commerce, digital marketing, software-as-a-service (SaaS) and content publishing, and invests its own capital to help early-stage founders turn ideas into companies. Performous is explicitly not a typical investment company — it works hands-on alongside founders and will act as a co-founder.
