Gm Everyone! Let's meet. Vanneck Capital is an investor and accelerator. We write the check first and build around it. Our direct checks average $550K, with a working range of $100K to $500K. Earlier-stage teams can enter through the Accelerator Fund at $100K to $235K. The investment is the cornerstone of every deal. Audit, listings, market making, security, go-to-market and introductions to investors and exchanges come with it at no extra cost. We do not sell services. So far we have made 45 equity and 62 token investments, and our portfolio has raised $285M. Our motto is giving, not selling. If you are building and raising, apply for the program!

We either solve it or connect you with someone who can. That is the rule for any problem a founder brings us. Behind it: investors, exchanges, market makers, auditors, legal counsel, KOL agencies and other portfolio founders. For services you pay for directly, we negotiate preferred rates.

Learn Day Today. An SPV is one deal in one vehicle. At Vanneck, each SPV holds a single project, so an investor knows exactly what the money backs. The minimum LP ticket is $50K, there is no management fee, and carry is 20% above an 8% hurdle. Structures: Cayman, Delaware or Singapore. The average SPV is $750K, and the largest go up to $2M.

You're building it the wrong way Common startup advice: take the money first, buy the help later. We do it the other way round. Audit costs, listing support, market making at preferred rates, security for the founding team and hiring support come with the check. Giving, not selling.

Before we write a check, we work with the team. At no cost. The Free Stage includes: - A go-to-market planning session - A marketing and distribution assessment - A tokenomics review - An introduction to a market maker - A CEX listing introduction, at letter-of-intent level - An advisory board expert for domain questions - A portfolio introduction where a partnership fits It lowers the risk of the check for both sides.

Founder vesting in our standard terms, in one example. 4 years, with a 1-year cliff. Leave before month 12: nothing has vested. Reach month 12: 25% vests at once. After that the rest vests gradually until month 48. If control of the company changes, vesting accelerates in full.

A hardware wallet protects your keys. It does not protect the laptop you sign from. That laptop is where malware, a fake extension or a hijacked session can do the damage. We are giving a selected group in our network 12 months of Sophos endpoint protection: - EDR and MDR monitoring - Compensation for losses of up to $1M, under Sophos's terms - No payment and no card Protection reduces risk. It does not make anyone unhackable. Application link in the first reply.

What we ask founders to report after we invest is a short list. - Quarterly financials - A monthly KPI dashboard - Notice of material events within 5 business days Short on purpose. Can you count?

What does a $500K check buy? Let's see Check divided by post-money valuation. $500K at $10M post is 5%. $500K at $20M post is 2.5%. Same check, half the stake. Valuation decides dilution, not the check size.
