Discovery-first. Investment later (optional). No equity through VentureStaking.
Venture's hidden constraint is information asymmetry
Today
- Episodic pitches
- Private diligence
- Insider networks
- Binary decisions
- High mismatch risk
With Doriot
- Continuous evidence
- Shared evaluation
- Open discovery arenas
- Signal before capital
- Lower mismatch risk
Evidence becomes legible before equity exists.
Peer-reviewed research identifies information asymmetry as a primary constraint on efficient early-stage capital allocation.
Investors fund signal — but signal requires evidence
Discovery without selling equity
Discovery capital must exist before investment capital can function.
Community Venture Arenas
VentureStaking® is discovery infrastructure
Any future investment activity occurs separately and outside the VentureStaking® discovery system.
A better deal for everyone — because roles are separated
Founders
- Evidence without dilution
- Structured accountability
- No premature valuation
Communities
- Responsible participation
- Transparent process
- Learning without conflicts
Investors
- Stronger pre-seed signal
- Cleaner downstream diligence
- No access risk
From discovery to prediction
What exists today
- Pitch narratives
- Private diligence notes
- Episodic impressions
- Non-shareable insight
What Doriot creates
- Behavioral execution data
- Comparable founder trajectories
- Signal before valuation events
- A venture discovery terminal
$10B+ is spent annually on early-stage discovery, scouting, diligence, and founder support — yet almost none of it compounds into durable signal.
Any downstream financial or investment activity occurs separately and outside the VentureStaking® discovery system.
Why this is hard to copy
Compliance-first architecture
Discovery is separated from investing by design — no ownership, no expectation, no gray zones.
Category language + IP
VentureStaking® defines a new layer: not a fund, not an accelerator, not RegCF.
Longitudinal dataset
Execution artifacts accumulate into time-series signal that cannot be reconstructed from pitch events.
Why incumbents can't bolt this on
Most platforms can't adopt neutrality without undermining their own incentives.
We ran the system ourselves
The pilot demonstrates market openness to a pre-equity funding mechanism to wait and watch for signal.
Founding Team
Gerry Hays

- Professor of Venture (6,000+ students)
- Originator of VentureStaking®
- Ran first round end-to-end
Akram Mnif

Commercialization team members - post raise
Names held in confidence—team members are actively employed elsewhere. Details available during due diligence.
Commercialization team assembled and ready to activate post-funding. Additional details available during due diligence.
Why now
Tokenization and programmable ownership are inevitable — but only once discovery signal is observable, governed, and neutral.
With AI, the economics of capital allocation are changing rapidly.
Raising to Commercialize Founder Discovery
- Launch and scale our first Community Venture Arena
- Build the production-grade platform (not a hack build)
- Establish durable compliance & governance for scale
