The traditional model of venture financing – waterfall or series
financing – is not always suitable for optimal startup development.
It can end up distracting founders from focusing on what should
be their core business, as they are forced to chase the next
tranche of investment, manage burn rates, and prepare for future
rounds.
Consilience Ventures has a more flexible financing approach,
enabled by CVDS’s liquid nature, which significantly lowers the
cost of financing and allows startups to capture value that is too
often lost in business today.
With sprint financing, startups raise smaller amounts on a more
frequent basis. The Consilience Ventures community evaluates
each startup at regular intervals to determine progress and
valuation. Every time a startup moves to raise investment, it is
further along its roadmap and able to benefit from an
incrementally higher valuation. This effect compounds over time
and ensures that startups can maximize the amount of capital
raised, while reducing the amount of equity offered in return.
