How the VentureStaking™ marketplace will work:
Step 1
Founders pitch
Founders pitch their ideas to Doriot®'s community of VentureStakers™, offering the option to invest in their future. That’s the VentureStake™ — open to all.
Step 2
VentureStakers™ stake
With a single scroll and click, VentureStakers™ review proposed projects and the momentum behind each opportunity—then decide whether to stake.
Step 3
Founders conduct R&D
After the VentureStaking™ round closes, founders are on the clock—to advance the project and report back to the VentureStakers™ with a clear set of objectives and an execution plan.
Step 4
Founders launch and build, VentureStakers™ decide
When projects advance beyond R&D, those who staked the founders are first in line to evaluate the opportunity and exercise their right—not obligation—to purchase equity. This process is repeated each time the startup is raising a round of capital.
Step 5
Startups exit, everyone profits
Ultimately, if successful, the company will exit via an IPO or an acquisition, allowing all VentureStakers™ to cash out their stock for a profit. In the most extreme cases, VentureStakers™ can turn $100 into $100,000.

Why anyone can build a startup portfolio through VentureStaking™
Easy, smart, fast
With low initial stakes, VentureStaking™ lets you make quick, informed decisions at each stage of a company's growth, guided by key indicators like crowd momentum and verified data.
Lower risk than traditional venture
VentureStakers™ start small, only betting big when they spot a winner — unlike Silicon Valley, which demands heavy upfront bets.
An insider's seat at the table
VentureStakers™ secure an insider’s seat at the table, gaining early information and access to promising startups before they become available to the broader market.
A winnable game
In the traditional venture model, VCs get in early right as startups take off, while individual investors are only invited in after the upside has been captured. VentureStaking™ flips the script, putting individual investors first to capture the majority of returns.

Why founders will choose VentureStaking™ for their first round of capital
No more family & friends funding
VentureStaking™ rounds spread risk across a community of active venture builders, unlike concentrated, high-risk bets from family and friends.
Non-dilutive capital
R&D is funded without forcing early equity pricing — giving founders maximum flexibility and control when it matters most.
Acquire an invested community
The future of startup success isn’t just about the product—it’s about the community. With VentureStaking™, innovators gain a built-in network of supporters, ready to back and fuel their success.
Strong market signal
Leading with momentum matters in fundraising. A startup with an active base of stakers can create a snowball effect. It signals traction, buzz, and potential market pull—all things that draw investor attention.

Gerry was a game-changer for my startup journey. He taught me the basics, from forming my first startup to understanding cap tables and perfecting my pitch for funding and customers. He’s also a mentor and a guide. His connections and knowledge of the Indiana startup scene really opened doors for me. I wouldn't be where I am today without his guidance during those crucial early years.

Gerry has always been an incredible resource to spur confidence and remind me that life is a really rewarding adventure once you take the leap. Without my exposure to the Doriot concept during my MBA days at IU, I doubt I would have been able to finally leave my post-MBA career as a banker and launch my own entrepreneurial venture.

Gerry invested in me at the very beginning of my journey. Not only was the capital meaningful, but his advice and, more importantly, his questions helped me navigate through a lot of the white noise. Today, Nostra is one of the leading AI companies for Shopify sites. Any founder would greatly benefit from having Gerry and Doriot as the first investor on their cap table.
