Stag Hunt

For founders

Apply

Raising money for your startup? Share it with the group.

Stag Hunt is a small, private group of people who back startups with their own money. Only members see your application. If one wants to take it further, they'll email you to set up a call.

Before you start

It takes about fifteen minutes. Have these ready:

  1. A one-minute video. One take, no editing, shared as a Loom, unlisted YouTube, or Google Drive link.
  2. Your fundraise. How much you're raising, on what terms, the smallest check you'll take, and when it closes.
  3. Your pitch deck, if you have one.

2Your video

Members watch it before deciding whether to call you. Keep it to one minute:

  1. 0:00Who you are
  2. 0:20What you're building
  3. 0:40Why you

Make sure anyone with the link can watch it.

A sentence or two each.

6Our standard

Members only back companies they'd be proud of.
No gambling, no adult content or pornography, and nothing built on cheating or deceiving people.

One member takes the call. If they share it with the group, each member decides alone whether to invest, in their own name. There's no fund and nothing to pay. Applying isn't a promise of investment, and not every application gets a call.
