How we invest

Standard terms. No negotiation.

Every founder gets the same deal. That's how we answer in 21 days, and nobody has to wonder whether someone else got better terms. One document, one cap, no board seat.

What your cheque buys

Every cheque uses one fixed post-money cap of USD 1,500,000. Your stake is the cheque divided by the cap.

If you have a company: a post-money SAFE

A SAFE is a simple agreement for future equity. You get the money now. It turns into shares at your next priced round — at the cap price, or at the round's price if that's lower. No interest, no maturity date, no board seat. We use a standard template, adapted to your country by counsel.

If you don't have a company yet: a convertible grant

Many of the best builders haven't incorporated. We fund them anyway. A convertible grant gives you the money now. If you incorporate and raise money within 3 years, it converts into a SAFE on the same terms. If you don't, you owe us nothing.

Flight credits

Take up to one third of your cheque as payload space on flights with a confirmed date instead of cash. Credits count toward your cheque at list price and buy the same stake as cash. Use them on any flight with a confirmed date. Fully optional.

What we ask for

• Pro-rata. The right to keep our percentage in your next round.
• A right to bid. If you decide to sell the company, you tell us and we can make an offer. It isn't a veto and it doesn't block anyone else.
• First flight. The first chance to fly or integrate your hardware on our missions, on commercial terms you agree to.
• A short quarterly update. A few lines: what you built, what you tested, what's next.

What we never ask for

• A board seat.
• A veto over your decisions.
• Your IP, or a licence to it.
• Exclusivity. Raise from anyone you like.
• Your time. You don't owe us work, and this isn't a job.

Questions founders ask

Can I negotiate the cap?

No. Same terms for everyone is what keeps decisions fast and fair.

What if I never raise again?

With a SAFE, the standard SAFE terms apply if you sell or wind down. With a convertible grant, you owe nothing.

Can I take it all in cash?

Yes. Flight credits are optional.

Do I have to move?

No. Build wherever you are. Demo Day is in Abu Dhabi.

I'm based in the US. Can you invest?

Yes, as a passive investor. We don't take board seats or ask for controlled technical data.

Is this a job offer?

No. It's an investment. Any work together later is a separate, paid agreement.

Who drafts the documents?

We do, from standard templates reviewed by counsel. You're welcome to have your own lawyer read them.
