Investor Admission FAQ

Who can invest via OnlyFounders?

Everyone.

OnlyFounders opens early-stage startup investment to all, removing traditional gatekeeping, token launches, and invite-only rounds reserved for insiders.

How does investment work on OnlyFounders?

• Direct investments into startups at early-stage valuations

• Minimum investment starting from $100

• No platform tokens, staking mechanics, or hidden permissions

• Transparent deal terms published upfront

• Invest in builders before token launches, unlocks, or liquidity events

What types of startups are available? Access includes:

• Pre-token startups (prior to any public token generation events)

• Pre-TGE (Token Generation Event) rounds

• Real projects across Web3, AI, Consumer tech, SaaS, DeepTech — not speculative decks

• Ventures with active teams, live products, and measurable momentum

This represents true early-stage allocation — before VC dilution and narrative building.

Can I sell or trade my investment? Yes.

OnlyFounders provides a permissionless OTC platform allowing investors to sell or trade allocations before token unlocks or public liquidity events.

You maintain control over your exposure and exit timing.

Founder terms and project-specific conditions still apply — investors must understand unlock schedules, cliffs, and vesting.

Do I have to be accredited? No.

OnlyFounders is designed to enable global public access where regulations permit, moving beyond accredited investor restrictions.

Local laws may apply based on your jurisdiction, but our infrastructure supports broad accessibility rather than exclusive “elite” investing.

What are the investment minimums?

• Minimum per deal: $100

• No general maximum unless specified by the deal

• Some allocations may fill rapidly; early investment secures priority

What does it cost to invest?

• No upfront platform fees

• Small success-based transaction fees disclosed transparently at execution

• No hidden management fees, carry, or tokenomics

What protections do investors have?

• Full transparency on deal terms before investment

• Clear disclosure on lockup periods, vesting, and unlock schedules

• Verified founder updates and reporting where applicable

• Understand that venture investing carries risk; there are no guarantees or insurance

What happens if a startup fails? You lose your investment.

Venture investing is inherently risky. OnlyFounders vets for high-signal founders but risk is intrinsic. Invest only what you can afford to lose.

Additional notes:

• No tokens, club memberships, or insider privileges

• Build your cap table exposure transparently, the way professional VCs do.
