Your Flow in Orion

2

Q&A and Due Diligence

We hop on a couple of calls to dive deeper into your startup. No fluff, no pitching theatrics — just a real conversation about your business, your market, and your vision.

3

Investment Committee Approval

You wait for the decision of our Investment Committee of experienced founders 
and investors. If you make the cut, you’re in.

4

Trial period  [2 months]

You operate independently, focusing on customer development and even landing your first sales. Meanwhile, we provide:

Workshops from top VCs and founders;
Battle-tested guidelines to keep you on track;
Weekly meetings to fine-tune your strategy.

You can get a fast trek if you already validated your idea

5

Orion support  [up until the raised round]

We invest both Cash & Operational Support
Strategic Consulting & Business Trekker
End-to-End Legal & Admin Support
On-Demand Help in sales, product, IT, AI, design, and operations.

6

Stage gate model [3 gates]

We split our investment in chunks. To get the next gate you got to pass a set of criteria. Think of it like a game. You progress through predefined milestones, each unlocking more resources.

7

The Fundraising Sprint  [3 months]

We offer access to our warm VC network, pitch coaching and strategic investor matchmaking.

8

Seed round

If you hit the right traction, we can follow on with up to $300K. From here, you’re primed to exit Orion and take off.

9

Series A

We typically exit the cap table at Series A.

10

Becoming a Unicorn [Optional]

Okay, we can’t promise this — but that’s the goal, right?
