Hold on to more of your equity.
The early stage is the most dangerous. You need capital to prove your model, but genuine pre-seed funding is hard to come by, and taking commercial money too early dilutes your equity and risks locking you into growth targets you aren’t ready for.
We built a two-stage runway designed to protect your ownership. And when you’re ready, we’ll bring in the right capital partners at a fair price.
Phase 1 – The Foundation (Catalytic Capital): You’re helping to make the world a better place. So we don’t ask for equity when you’re just starting. The Arosa Foundation provides grant funding that doesn’t cost you shares – we’ll help you build product, test the market, and hire your team. We take the risk so you can build the proof.
Phase 2 – The Capital (Growth Fuel): Once you’ve built it, the conversation changes. Our platform funds are positioned to lead your commercial rounds. Because we’ve been with you since the grant stage, we don’t need months of due diligence. We know the business. We know you.
We built a system where capital follows capability, not connections.
