Star is a fundraising platform for the next generation of founders. Teams raise capital by running an internet round - a public, tokenized startup raise conducted live online. The idea is simple: raise in days, not months, and turn your earliest supporters into owners. By issuing an equity-backed token, you let backers invest in your success and share in the upside - which turns users into evangelists and gives you distribution from day one. A good example is SurfCash, a stablecoin neobank that raised $450K on Star and grew its user base 15x after launching $SURF. SurfCash raise stats

How it works

Tokenize

Issue an equity-backed token for a slice of your company.

Go live

Pitch in public and open a dynamic market sale.

Raise

Backers commit USDC in real time and receive tokens.

Launch

The token goes live and trades across Solana.
Founders raise by launching a token with built-in ownership rights - designed to align you with your supporters for the long term. Backers get exposure to your upside through equity-backed tokens, and a say in the treasury through decision markets. We’ve been through this ourselves: we raised $450K in 24 hours on a livestream, so we know what it’s like - and we’ve built Star to get founders funded. What this makes possible:
  • Anyone can invest in a startup they believe in
  • Founders raise in public, with the audience watching
  • Capital is raised in days, not months
  • Founders build with a community of aligned backers from day one
