Startups pay with the fruits of their future success.
Founderfruits.
Currency for skill investment.
Skill Investment.
The new way to invest in startups.
With Founderfruit, startups no longer need to convince financiers of their product, but directly those whose services they need. The service provider becomes a skill investor.
Instead of money, they invest their skill and receive Founderfruits from the startup in return.
Founderfruits are digital coins whose value increases with the startup's growing revenue.
Configure FounderfruitsStartups with investment needs previously had to go through financial investors or lenders to purchase needed services. They gave up company shares or paid high interest rates and took on personal liability risks.
With Founderfruit, startups no longer need to convince financiers of their product, but directly those whose services they need.
The service provider invests their skill and receives Founderfruits from the startup in return. Founderfruits are company-specific digital coins whose value increases with the startup's growing revenue.
At the time of skill investment, the value of the Founderfruits that a skill investor receives is far below the market value of the service they provide. This allows the startup to afford the desired skill in an early founding phase without having to generate financial capital first.
With successful startup development until a previously agreed later encashment period, the value of the coins significantly exceeds the market value of the service provided. The skill investor achieves a return without having previously invested financial assets.
If expected success fails to materialize, this falls into the investment risk of the skill investor. They only receive the minimum value of the Founderfruits, which lies below the market value of the service provided. The startup incurs no further liabilities. With Founderfruits, founders do not give up company shares. They avoid personal liability risks and their financial scope in the founding phase is significantly increased.
Skill investors can positively influence a startup's success and thus the value of received Founderfruits through good performance.

I use my reach to help startups that convince me gain more recognition. I can influence the value increase of the Founderfruits received from startups myself. The more I advocate for the startups, the greater the chance of value appreciation.

I'm in my early twenties and already a startup investor. You don't need to have money first to invest in promising companies, you just need to be able to do something.
