Drag the sliders and watch the deal sheet render — valuation, runway, ownership, unlock ladder. This page is a model; the create flow is where you size from team and region and save a draft. What you deploy is what backers see.
Nothing is saved. The create flow sizes from team, region and stage, and writes a real draft.
Standard on every Accelerated launch, and locked. You can size it down when you build the real raise.
10,000,000 tokens in the ICO — that block never changes size
Backers see the full money map on your raise page — where every dollar sits, and both ways the raise can end. See an example →
Your modeled numbers carry into create. You can still refine with region, headcount, and stage. Or start from AGENTS.md.
distribution is your job — the mechanism only protects the money
Funded raises walk in with >50% pre-committed. The window opening is a formality, not a hope.
Users, angels, VCs, liquid funds — courted over the months before, not the morning of. The playbook runs from months out (community, Superteam, media) to launch day (angels in first, momentum, FOMO).
Short answers, with doors to the full mechanics. The create flow coaches every one of these while you type.
$15 to publish — that's the whole platform fee to launch. The legal entity costs nothing extra: it's a segregated portfolio under Backable's Cayman umbrella company, stood up in days as part of the flow. The setup that costs funded startups five figures and weeks of lawyer time is the part we made free.
Every backer claims 100% back, you walk away clean, and the miss costs you $15. Your raise page stays up as a record, and you can relaunch a sharper attempt; the new page links back to the old one, which backers read as honesty, not failure.
The funded ones share three things: a working demo, a budget that reads like a real plan, and a founder who writes their own risk case. Mechanically, your disclosure score is the one number backers compare — they read it in the diligence section of your raise page. The create flow tells you your live score and what the next point is.
An acquisition is a proposal, like any other decision bigger than your monthly budget: the offer goes to your backers' markets, and the sale happens only if they approve it. The entity can sign the deal the way any company signs one. Proceeds land in the treasury the token governs, and a follow-up proposal distributes them to holders. Nobody can sell the company around the token, you included.
Winding down is a proposal too. If it passes, whatever remains in the treasury goes back to token holders, and the performance package is terminated, not paid — it was contingent on performance. What happens to the IP is written into the same proposal: returned to you, sold, or released open source. mtnCapital, Ranger, Paystream and ZKFG have all wound down through proposals like this.
Agents do — every raise publishes an agents.md, a plain-text rendering built for AI assistants. Many backers start by pasting your raise into their assistant, so the structured fields you fill in the wizard are exactly what their agent will quote back to them.
The other half of the deal. Each of these is a mechanism, not a promise — your backers read the same list from their side, which is exactly why they can fund a stranger.
Your Cayman company owns the work and answers to backers — with a B1 transparency filing on the record. How the entity works →
The program releases it monthly — six months is the floor, not a ceiling: draw less and it lasts longer. There is no override, no exception process, and no one to ask. Budgets and proposals →
Anything above the cap becomes a pass/fail market your backers trade. Anyone can propose — including against you. How proposals go live →
The milestones backers funded are the record. Your operate page stamps what's due. Narrating a slip beats silence.
The unlock ladder is public before anyone commits. You get paid for the outcome, not the raise. Reading tokenomics →
Balance, runway and every governed decision sit on a public operate page. Backers watch the same numbers you do.
