House rules

Short version: it's a game, play fair, we're honest about the numbers.

1

Game currency only

Every fund is game money. There is no real money on the board, and nothing here is financial advice — it's a game about reading launches.

2

Capital is one-time — we never print more

Every fund opens with $10k, once. There is no weekly allowance and no daily faucet. The only way to get cash back is to sell something — which is exactly the point: if fresh money kept arriving you would never have to choose what to hold and what to let go. An exit and an open tap cannot live in the same game.

3

You size your own bets

There is no fixed bet. Put anything from $50up to your position limit behind a launch — conviction should be expressible, and "I'm sure about this one" shouldn't cost the same as "let's try it".

4

One launch can only take a slice of your fund

Your level caps how much of your fund value can sit in a single launch — from 5% as a Rookie to 100% at Legendary. The cap is cumulative, so you can't creep past it with twenty small bets. It's the one thing levelling up actually buys you — room to be certain — and it doubles as the anti-shill gate: a new account has to spread across at least 20launches and cannot single-handedly fill its own product's allocation.

5

Ten seats per launch — and a seat is held, not bought

A launch holds only a handful of investors at a time — 3 when the league is small, scaling up to 10 as it fills, so a seat is always scarce. Once the seats are taken, the allocation is closed — until someone exits. Selling out of a launch gives up your seat, and if it has been taken you may not get back in. Getting in early doesn't buy you a better price — the price is the same for everyone — it buys you the seat. That is the only reward for being early, and it is deliberately the only one: a bonus that scaled with who bought first would be a pyramid scheme.

6

You can always sell

Any position can be sold back to cash at the current price, any time, with no fee and no lock-up. Selling is NAV-neutral — shares convert to cash at market value, so exiting neither creates nor destroys value on its own.

7

You are ranked on alpha, not on return

Your return is time-weighted, so anything that lands in your account from outside sits in the denominator and can never count as a gain. But the table does not rank you on that number — it ranks you on alpha: how far you beat the market since the day you joined. The index drifts upward on its own, so a raw return would just reward whoever showed up first. Alpha strips that out: a fund opened today and a fund opened a year ago are scored on the same question — did you pick better than the board did?

8

Content is visibility, never price

Founder activity, updates and posts affect where a card shows upin the deck and the feed. They never move the reality price. We're honest about that line.

9

One fund per person, no bots

One fund per person and no automation. Leaderboards only mean something if the funds on them are real people making real calls.

10

Verified revenue must be real

The only growth signal that moves price comes from read-onlyprocessor access to actual revenue. It's normalized and checked for wash-trading — you can't fake your way to a higher price.
