VentureStaking lets anyone lock in future investing rights in ambitious, talented, and prepared entrepreneurs — only committing real capital once traction is proven.
Through my academic work and exposure to real-world funding models, VentureStaking® immediately clicked—it bridges the gap between visionary founders and early believers without forcing anyone to overcommit too early. The idea of creating optionality in venture investing—backed by real community skin in the game—is not just smart, it's structurally transformative.
Doriot reframes the earliest, riskiest stage of startup life as a collaborative opportunity instead of a high-stakes bet. It's rare to see a model that aligns incentives this cleanly between founders, backers, and the broader startup ecosystem.
Incredible work—excited to see where this goes next!
Incredible idea that seems like it can completely shift the game of VC. Great to see a company trying to give more people access to early-stage investing.
Impressive concept—framing early-stage investing like poker makes the model instantly relatable. VentureStaking lowers the barrier to entry while preserving real upside for backers, which could open up access to a much broader pool of investors. Excited to see how this evolves as more high-potential founders and strategic supporters get involved.
This is a fascinating model for both founders and early-stage investors. The concept of de-risking angel investing through VentureStaking® is a brilliant way to build a diversified portfolio.
🚀 VentureStaking by Doriot is a bold and much-needed innovation in startup investing.
The concept of locking in rights to invest before startups take off — but only committing real capital once traction is proven — is genius. It bridges the gap between early conviction and late-stage validation. This could change how emerging founders raise early support and how everyday people participate in startup growth.
As a developer currently looking for opportunities, I’m always drawn to products that rethink how systems work — and VentureStaking is doing just that in the VC space. Excited to see where this goes
It is a super advanced, exciting concept. It’s user friendly and provides an innovative approach to venture staking. I’m happy to see what’s in store for it down the stretch.
Such an exciting approach to VC and early stage funding! Love that it creates more flexibility for potential investors while increasing opportunities for founders - can't wait to see Doriot's impact as this model continues to grow.
