VentureStaking lets anyone lock in future investing rights in ambitious, talented, and prepared entrepreneurs — only committing real capital once traction is proven.
As someone who was unfamiliar with (and quite frankly, excluded from) the world of venture, I love that VentureStaking makes startup investing opportunities accessible for anyone. It opens up a whole new world of possibilities I wasn't even aware existed.
Love the way you’re making venture-style investing accessible to all entrepreneurs! Rooting for you!
Love this concept! VentureStaking feels like a smart evolution of early-stage investing, lowering risk for backers while giving founders capital without early dilution.
Really like the mix of Thiel, Kickstarter, and YC models here. Excited to see how this plays out!
Really like this approach. It gives founders early support without pressure, and lets backers get in early without taking on full risk upfront. Smart way to align incentives on both sides.
So excited about this innovation! Not only does this build public support for the product early on in development, but it also allows entrepreneurs to read the market and adjust their product accordingly before even pitching it to traditional investors.
I'm glad I got to learn more about what VentureStaking involves and its importance! One question: how do you make sure the startups that join VentureStaking align with what you look for in them? Is there something that is done before people can invest?
I’m really excited to see this grow to fruition. The market is in great need of a more democratic form of venture capital.
This sounds like an exciting and exclusive opportunity. I look forward to seeing how this model progresses and redefines what venture capital can be. Congrats on the launch!
This is a really cool idea! It makes early-stage investing feel way more accessible and less risky. I like how it gives people a way to support founders early without needing a ton of money up front. How do you decide which founders get on the platform?
This flips the venture model in such a clever way. I’m curious how you plan to vet founders before offering VentureStakes? Will there be a community-driven review process or some kind of due diligence layer?
Really impressive reframing of early-stage investing — VentureStaking feels like it captures the spirit of angel investing while solving for its biggest pain points: high risk, low signal, and low accessibility.
One question I had: how do you envision balancing community enthusiasm with founder protection? Especially as creators and solo builders (vs. traditional founders) enter the fold, what safeguards are in place to prevent speculative hype from misaligning with a builder's pace or vision?
Loving the blend of Thiel, Kickstarter, and Wefunder DNA here. Looking forward to watching this grow. 👏
excited about venture staking. Great way to build up investing knowledge with low capital!
Will venture staking be able to be used by all types of startups? Or will there be certain candidates who would fit best using venture staking over traditional VC?
what startups do you guys wish you could have invested in before they blew up?
Making early-stage investing more accessible while reducing risk is a smart angle. Curious to see how this shapes the future of startup funding. Congrats on the launch 🚀
How do you plan to advertise and normalize this new form of venture capital? Do you see any potential threats or setbacks from the traditional venture capital industry?
This is a complete gamechanger to the landscape of venture capital. I can't wait to start VentureStaking myself!
How do you evaluate which entrepreneurs are ‘prepared enough’ for staking, and what signals or metrics help you predict future breakout success before traction is proven?
