Understand what your investment represents
Investing in a raise means buying exposure to a startup’s upside through its tokenized ownership structure, rather than only speculating on short-term trading momentum.
Vesting and priority in a sale
The vesting component lets investors signal long-term commitment. By choosing to vest, participants can strengthen their position and receive first priority in a sale relative to less committed supply.Raise outcomes and refunds
