The raise
In a standard round you give up 10% of your company’s equity, issued as a liquid, equity-backed token. That 10% entitles you to more than the upfront check - you also receive milestone-based unlocks (up to $8.6M) and 0.5% of every trade (see Founder economics below). The upfront amount is set by your preset:| Preset | Initial raise | Equity | Availability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $10,000 | 10% | Self-serve |
| Plus | $25,000 | By arrangement | On request |
| Pro | $50,000 | By arrangement | On request |
The $10K preset is self-serve. $25K and $50K rounds are available on request -

How the dynamic market sale works
Your raise runs as a dynamic market sale on a bonding curve. There’s no fixed price: the token price rises as more is bought, so earlier backers get a better price. The sale is a live market - backers can buy and sell throughout the raise - and it completes once it reaches its target market cap. The sale targets more than the amount you take home. A standard round nets you $10K, but the raise target is higher because each raise also funds:- ~$7.5K for incorporation with Bedrock (your BVI company plus Cayman SPC), and
- on-chain liquidity - a reserve paired with tokens so your market has ample depth to trade against once the token is live.
Token distribution
The portion of supply tied to your raise is split three ways:| Allocation | Share | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Public sale | 60% | Sold during the dynamic market sale |
| Raise unlocks | 20% | Released to your team as you hit milestones |
| Vested | 20% | Linear 1-year vest |
