We are building a decentralized application to revolutionize art collection on the blockchain through tokenization and our STO is currently underway. If this sounds like a partnership you would persue we would love to chat.

This could be a godsend for some of the indie startup guys that have no connections and hence stay unnoticed forever.
Can you let me know if there are any legal limitations to who and what you can fund? Maybe jurisdiction wise?

Also, are you open to collaborating with someone who might act as a liaison between you and such startups that might need your help?

Copied from their site;

No-Cash principle: Our incubator (co-investor) company will not give entrepreneurs cash funding. Instead, we will provide technical development needed for the startup in exchange of equity.

Co-Funding principle: We will invest usually 50% and we can increase it but never 100%. The entrepreneur should secure the other 50% either through angel investors, government funds or from savings. We can invest more than 50% but never the full amount.

Fair equity principle: FasterCapital would like to receive 20%-40% equity in the startup in the incubation program.

So its basically they help you with development, but never give cash.

Its been mentioned on OP or some summation on how things works

e will offer everything a standard incubator will offer plus be ready to build the product for an equity stake with an investment between $200k-$2M per startup.
If you are searching for a technical cofounder and an investor then search no more! FasterCapital's will become your technical cofounder and will invest 50% of the capital needed.

If they dont give out Cash-funding and do only accept equity then it would really be hard if we do talk with legit projects.

Do you have a telegram or at least email? If so then please post it here or PM me. I have a business idea and want to introduce it properly to your investors so I need a consultation first.  Smiley

Haven't you read my reply in this thread? I put up their website so I'm sure you will find their social media accounts and then contact them.

@vnnvh80 - I'm not connected with them, but I will be interested to see how everything goes, so good luck to you.

You should at least put up the main requirements on how do people to be eligible for that start up.We are talking $200k-2M here which is too good to be true and first time seeing that someone do offer this kind of stuff.

Long and lengthy process, the OP didn't provide the link but everything can be found in their website here: (https://www.fastercapital.com/).  They say they've open 4 round throughout the year, and now they are on the 2nd round already.  So basically, you apply (https://www.fastercapital.com/entrepreneur/joinus.html#questionnaire), they will review, and then they will contact you. And according to the site.

If I join your acceleration program, when can I expect to raise money?

There's no general answer for such question. Please note that raising funds is a lengthy process and requires considerable efforts and attention. It all depends on your startup, how much you have invested, how much money are you looking to raise and what equity you are ready to provide. Please note that in general less than 1% of startups end up raising capital. At Fastercapital we are seeing a better success rate. Of course if the company is ready to be incubated then that will help it raise money sooner.
So a short answer is anything between three months to a year depending on the factors that were mentioned earlier.

So it's not that easy and you have to wait for months to here back from them, and probably another round of process before you can get the funding and how much it's going to be.


Assuming that this a legit start-up funding incubator,  I am sure that the process will not be that easy and only those which are really prepared can have the chance to be reviewed and eventually granted the money they are looking for. But this is a good opportunity for the chosen few. I do admire organizations like this as they can be agents of innovations and much-need help for many qualified entrepreneurs.
