We have no case
studies. Here is why.
This page would normally hold three logos and a quote about efficiency gains. We are prelaunch, so we would have to invent them, and a fund that catches you inventing a customer will correctly assume you would invent a number too. Instead: twelve places, real terms, and what we want from you in exchange.
It is not free money.
Half price is what we are paying for access to how a fund actually works. Here is the bill.
An hour a month, with the person who does the work
Not the GP who signed. The analyst who lives in the pipeline and the controller who closes the books. The people whose objections are specific.
Your real data, not a sanitised copy
Under NDA, in your own workspace. Products get designed around clean fixtures and then meet a cap table with four SAFEs, a side letter and a company that changed its name twice.
A reference call, once it is true
After six months, and only if you would actually recommend it. If you would not, we would rather have the reason than the call.
Tell us when it is bad
Immediately, in plain terms, to a person. The failure mode for a design-partner programme is a fund that quietly stops logging in and says everything is fine on the monthly.
Who this is wrong for.
If you need a 409A signed, an audited statutory register, or a Schedule K-1 issued, we do not do those and being a founding fund will not change that this year. If your fund is over $400M, the product is not shaped for you yet and you would be paying half price for a poor fit. And if you need a system that works on day one with no input from you, take a mature product — being early is the whole trade here, and the discount is compensation for the roughness, not an apology for it.
One thing that is not a disqualifier: not being a traditional fund. A workspace can be set up as a fund, an angel network or a corporate venture arm, and angel syndicates get DSignal Angel — shared deals, reviews, referrals and portfolio visibility — rather than a seat in a product built for someone else. Places are open to syndicate leads on the same terms.
Eight places left.
A call, not a form response. If it is not a fit we will say that on the call rather than after it.
