Launching a raise

You pay $15 to create a saved draft, configure the raise, form the entity, and submit it from Review. This page describes each step and the terms that apply after submission.

1. Model the deal

Try the modeler on the founders page to preview your raise details. When you are ready to commit numbers, the create Raise Details step sizes from region, headcount, and stage and writes goal, monthly budget, window, and team tokens into your draft. Three numbers still do most of the work: the goal, the monthly budget, and the performance package.

After you go live, follow the distribution checklist , Superteam, media, pre-commits, and launch-week cadence.

• Goal. Anywhere from $10K to $2M. Set it from the stated use of funds and the amount required to reach the next milestone.
• Optional maximum. Every founder can check “Set a maximum raise” in Raise Details. Use whole dollars, strictly greater than the goal and at most the smaller of 2x the goal and $2,000,000. Equal-to-goal values are invalid. At a $2,000,000 goal, leave it unset. Unchecking clears the maximum, so the goal is the cap again. Invalid values are rejected, never silently clamped.
• Monthly budget. This becomes an onchain ceiling on what you can draw without asking. Set it to what running the business actually costs, not to what you hope to earn.
• Performance package. Your upside, locked and released only at 2x/4x/8x/16x/32x your backers' entry price. The minimum is one token, so you can keep the package close to nothing if you would rather settle incentives later.

2. Write the page

Backable asks for structured sections rather than one blob: the problem, why now, what you will build, a roadmap, the team, and your risks. Nobody edits any of it.

State specific risks and their likely consequences. For example, identify a month-to-month supplier contract instead of writing only “market conditions.”

3. Prove you are you

Domain verification is required before you can submit: on Review you publish a DNS TXT code we give you and press Check again. X verification (proof tweet) is optional. Both markers are visible on your page.

4. Form the entity

Your segregated portfolio in the Cayman SPC, with the legal work signed and agreed through MetaLeX, is required before you can submit. The IP declaration records which intellectual property, domain, and accounts are assigned to it. See your legal entity for the full structure.

MetaLeX charges no formation fee, formation is covered. The $15 Backable draft fee is anti-spam; MetaDAO is paid later from trading volume on your liquidity (futarchyAMM and Meteora) if the token does well.

5. File your disclosure

The B1 transparency filing covers prior token sales, market-maker deals, insider allocations, and known risks. Every raise must answer the required B1 fields before submission.

6. Go live

Pay $15 to create the saved draft (if you have not already), finish Review, including domain verification, and submit. The raise is queued and usually appears on the homepage within about a minute (contact Telegram if it takes more than ten). During the window, commitments accumulate in escrow where you cannot touch them.

If you hit your goal

Unless otherwise stated on the raise page, eighty percent of the goal lands in your company treasury, twenty percent seeds liquidity, and any commitments above the goal stay with their backers to claim back. From then on you draw your monthly budget, and anything larger goes to a decision market.

If you miss

Every backer can claim their contribution in full. Claims require a transaction from the contributing wallet. The $15 draft fee is not refunded. The entity and raise page remain available, and you can create another raise.

A refund is not sent automatically. The backer submits the claim from the raise page. There is no claim deadline, and the program does not require team or platform approval.

What you are agreeing to

The program enforces the monthly budget, the performance package unlocks, and the claim path. Read the Terms before you pay.
