Frequently asked questions
In case you missed anything and had some more questions.
What is VentureStaking®?
VentureStaking™ allows anyone to support early-stage startups with small stakes (as little as $10) and earn the right to invest later if the startup succeeds. It’s a smarter, low-risk way to access the world of venture capital.
Do I own equity when I stake $10?
No. Staking doesn’t grant ownership—it gives you the option to invest in future rounds and insider access to each entrepreneur’s journey.
Is my money at risk?
Your $10 stake is an educational product—like buying a book. It’s an investment in your learning about venture and innovation. You’ll get smarter following real startups in real time. The right (not obligation) to invest comes later—when you can choose to risk real capital if the startup shows real promise.
How do I receive startup updates?
Once the platform is live, startups will share milestone-based updates so you can track their progress. For now, you can only purchase a VentureStake in Doriot, which provides weekly updates.
How do I choose which startup to stake in?
Once the platform is live, each VentureStaking opportunity includes key details, founder pitches, and tools to help you evaluate companies.
Is this like Kickstarter?
Like Kickstarter, you're pre-purchasing a product—a front-row ticket to a startup’s journey so you can learn how companies are built in real time. Unlike Kickstarter, a VentureStake also gives you the right, not the obligation, to invest later if the company succeeds.
Can I VentureStake multiple startups?
Yes—once the platform is live, you’ll have the option to invest. And it’s encouraged: leveraging the Power Law gives you a real shot at owning equity in a breakout company.
What if the startup fails?
In Venture, 80% of startups fail. The goal is to back the winners. A VentureStake lets you watch, wait, and see which companies show real promise—before risking real capital.
Its VentureStaking® legal and compliant?
Yes. Initial stakes are not considered securities. Future investments comply with U.S. regulations like Reg CF.
Can I skip rounds or invest later?
Yes—whenever a startup opens a funding round and you hold a VentureStake, you have the option to invest or pass. The choice is always yours.
Why would a founder use this model?
It lets startups raise early support and conduct Research and Development without giving up equity too soon—while building a community of engaged backers.
