Where the fund stands

Five theses the fund is built on

The logic runs from the philosophy of the fund to team engineering, investment terms, market validation and the ten-year contract.

01
Manifest · Philosophy of capital

Investing in people instead of betting on ideas

StarMeet Capital invests in founding teams. The fund takes 7.5% of equity, leaving the entrepreneur 92.5% of the company and 100% of operational control.

  • The founder keeps 100% of operational control and is protected from being forced to sell the company to a third party.
  • 44% of the return of the fund comes from dividends and another 56% from the founder buying our stake back — not from selling the company to anyone else.
  • The partnership rests on a ten-year contract with the founder, with the right to extend it.

Synastry · Team engineering

Founder compatibility measured, not guessed

StarMeet Capital addresses the single largest reason startups die: on the Data Cube platform we compare founders across 300+ vector metrics built on official NASA JPL ephemerides.

  • Measuring compatibility inside the founding core removes the reason 65% of technology businesses fall apart.
  • The open Co-founder Matchmaking network introduces partners only above a calculated synastry of 85%.
  • The Data Cube computation weighs 300+ vector metrics derived from NASA JPL astrometric data.

Pre-Seed · Investment round

A pre-seed check without losing control

The fund writes a check of up to $500,000 for 7.5% of equity. The company gets the runway it needs and keeps 92.5% of its own capital.

  • The founder keeps 92.5% of the business and avoids crippling dilution at the earliest stage.
  • The mentor is inside the same 7.5%: 6% to the fund and 1.5% to the mentor. There is no separate fee for mentoring.
  • Investments are structured in line with AIFMD pre-marketing rules across the European Union.

Validation · Proving demand

Demand first, the check second

StarMeet Capital protects capital by validating the business model together with a mentor over two to four weeks, before anyone signs a ten-year contract.

  • A two-stage pipeline cuts off the basic risk that kills 42% of technology products on the open market.
  • Stage one is two to four weeks of testing the core demand hypothesis alongside a mentor from the field.
  • The $500,000 contract is signed only after real market demand has been demonstrated.

Contract10 · Partnership horizon

A ten-year horizon instead of five-year pressure

A long-horizon partnership: the fund receives 7.5% of net profit, and in the tenth year the founder either buys the stake of the fund back or extends the partnership. The choice belongs to the founder, not to us.

  • The founder is fully protected from demands to sell the business to funds or strategic corporate buyers.
  • The buyback is priced at what the company is worth in its tenth year: you pay for what you have built by that date, not for a mature valuation.
  • Until the first profitable year the company pays the fund nothing at all.

Anti-exit thesis

A business built for profit, not for resale

Traditional venture capital needs the company sold within five years. We build an asset meant to last.

We earn only alongside you

We take 6% of net profit and hold 6% of equity — and we receive nothing until the business starts earning. No retainers, no consulting fees.

01
44% of the return of the fund is dividends and 56% is the founder buying our stake back, not from waiting on a hypothetical M&A or IPO.
02
We value a strong technology product and a profitable service company equally, as long as it generates free cash flow.
03
Symmetry of interest: the mentor and the fund earn only once the company actually earns.

This is the frame of the deal. The exact wording — how profit is calculated, the payout schedule, the buyback price — is fixed in the contract and walked through in person before anything is signed.

Platform · Data Cube

65% of startups die from founder conflict. We measure that risk before the money moves

The private Data Cube, built on official NASA JPL ephemerides, scores the compatibility of the founding core across 300+ vector metrics. The open Co-founder Matchmaking network helps you find a partner above a calculated synastry of 85%.

Advisor club · 3%

A mentor who earns with you, not from consulting you

The mentor is part of the deal, not a separate invoice. The combined 7.5% of equity and 7.5% of dividends is split between the fund (6%) and an industry mentor (1.5%). The founder always keeps 92.5% of equity and 85% of the economics.

No starting capital is no reason to wait

If you have no starting capital but plenty of drive and a testable hypothesis: the fund gives you a micro-grant for validation, matches you with a co-founder and a mentor, and writes a check of up to $500,000.
