Founder FAQs

  • Our initial checks are between $25K and $50K and are made using a financial instrument known as a Convertible Income Share Agreement (CISA). You can read more about CISAs here

  • Investing early means we are betting on the founder. We look for founders with grit, the ability to execute with velocity, and who have demonstrated a deep understanding of their industries through lived experiences, academic pursuits, or professional achievements. This experience should enable you to identify unique opportunities and develop innovative solution

  • We are sector agnostic, but we generally do not invest in crypto-tokens, life sciences, drug development, gambling.

  • We invest in startups organized in the US, but they may operate globally. We are particularly interested in finding breakthrough opportunities outside the main centers of startup activity

  • You have a mature idea for a compelling solution that you can build and deploy to real customers — and you have evidence that it is scaleable. You do not have to have built it yet. We will invest in pre-minimum viable product (MVP) opportunities.

  • No. We expect and prefer to be the first investor for extremely early stage ventures.

  • We aim to make final investment decisions in less than 4 weeks

  • You should clearly and concisely describe your idea and the potential market opportunity. A pitch deck is nice but not required. You do not have to have formed a company yet.

  • We will make follow-on investments provided the company demonstrates a compelling trajectory. We expect to make follow-on investments in less than 30% of our portfolio. Note that as a small fund, we can’t make follow-on investments in every portfolio company, and even if we do not, we will help you engage with other investors, if appropriate.

  • Fictive does not make investment decisions that exclude any legally protected classes. We invest in founders who are aligned with our mission.
