Raise in public.
We run one curated raise per day. You apply, the market selects the strongest team, and the winner opens a 24-hour raise with the platform's full attention and capital focused on them. Instead of spending four months raising a seed round, waiting two months to hear back from an accelerator, or getting lost in the noise of permissionless platforms, you get the spotlight for 24 hours.
The result: you raise faster, you raise more, and you get a day-one community.
How it works
Step 1
Apply
Any team can submit their project. Projects include their core details and fundraise configuration, which defines the terms of their potential raise.
Apply anytime.
Step 2
Market Selection
The strongest applicants are grouped into a 24-hour curation market that determines which project should raise next. The project with the highest market signal gets to raise.
Get instant feedback.
Step 3
24-Hour Fundraise
The winning team immediately launches a 24-hour raise. Investors participate in the presale, backing the project and forming the founding community around it.
Raise your round in a day.
Step 4
Token Launch
After the raise closes, the project's token launches under an onchain futarchy system where markets govern key decisions.
Your token is now live.
Why founders raise here.
Go fast.
Traditional fundraising can take months of meetings and follow-ups before you know where you stand. Star compresses that process into a single 24-hour raise where one founder gets the platform's full attention. The market decides quickly, giving you immediate feedback and a clear outcome. If it doesn't work this time, you can always refine your approach and apply again.
Go fair.
Founders design the structure of their raise while investors signal commitment through mechanisms like vesting-based allocations. Projects launched on Star also use futarchy-style governance, where tokenholders participate in decision markets that influence how the project evolves. The goal is to align incentives between founders and investors while keeping the process open and market-driven.
Go live.
Each raise includes a live pitch on our daily show, where founders present what they're building and answer questions from the community while the fundraise unfolds. It replaces the usual sequence of private investor calls with a single public moment where people can see the team, understand the project, and decide whether to participate.
