Submit a product for public funding

As the Founder, you are entitled to 70% ownership equity in the startup at close.
30% is offered for first-round investment to the syndicate.
As the operating layer of the startup, Dream x Destiny is responsible for scaling the business - the bridge for first-round funding, constant development based on integration with monday.com, applying for Round 2 funding, marketing and supporting all the startup's needs. Dream x Destiny receives its 1% only after the first 3x Profit Checkpoint and its distribution. Not at incorporation, not at the first-round close, not after fundraising. Its success equity is 1% of the shares, from the Founder's own ownership.
What Dream x Destiny charges. Dream x Destiny charges a fixed $6,200 a month for the platform and operating layer, and $23 an hour for talent and the Founder's working roles. It does not take a percentage of the capital a round raises. $6,200 a month across an 18-month operating period - $111,600 in total - committed inside the funding sum rather than paid at closing, and drawn from the venture's funded runway as the period runs. After that period it is billed monthly, with scope and continuation set by the venture’s own agreement. The funding portal charges its own fee on top - about $19,750 on a $250,000 round. Illustrative - actual portal fee may vary.
No upfront personal payment by the Founder. Every fee in the round comes out of the capital the round raises. Taking a finished prototype - working software for a software venture, or a hardware blueprint with its software for a hardware one - on to a market-ready product is the one thing a round does not cover: it is separate work, quoted per scope.
You are a shareholder, not just the Founder. Every distribution the syndicate receives, you receive on your own shares - and yours is the largest single holding in the company.
3x Profit Checkpoint. When cumulative profit reaches 3x the original funding sum, the venture reaches a 3x Profit Checkpoint. The company may then distribute an amount equal to the original funding sum to its shareholders, pro-rata according to their ownership at that time. The distribution is shared by all shareholders, including the Founder and the syndicate, each according to what they own. It is not a repayment priority. Illustrative, after a full Round 2: at 51% that is $51 of every $100 distributed; the rest of the profit stays in the company as working capital, and the checkpoints repeat. It is a profit distribution, not a repayment schedule.
Round 2 can be offered ownership from the 18% Growth Pool. The 18% Growth Pool is reserved from the Founder's own ownership. It is set aside at incorporation, it is not used in the first round, and it can be allocated partially or in full in a future financing - the capital that financing raises goes into the company, not to the Founder. The ownership offered comes from the reserved 18% Growth Pool. The capital raised goes into the company to grow it. The 18% Growth Pool is reserved ownership from the Founder's holding, so offering it in Round 2 does not reduce the syndicate's 30% in that round. That does not protect the syndicate from future dilution. Round 3 and later financings may create new shares and dilute existing holders. Illustrative, used in full: you are still the majority holder, at 51%.
The exit. An acquisition is an exit event. Sale proceeds follow ownership and the transaction documents. An acquisition is never promised. Your share of a company that got built, funded and operated, rather than 100% of an idea that never left the page.

Why the percentage moves, and where it stops. You start at 70%. Dream x Destiny receives its 1% only after the first 3x Profit Checkpoint and its distribution. Not at incorporation, not at the first-round close, not after fundraising. The 1% comes from the Founder's ownership, taking the Founder from 70% to 69%. That leaves 69%. At incorporation you also reserve the 18% Growth Pool from your own ownership - reserved ownership - used to bring new capital into the company. Illustrative, used in full for Round 2: 69 less 18 percentage points leaves you holding 51%, the majority. Two named events, both agreed on day one, both from your own ownership. The 18% Growth Pool is reserved ownership from the Founder's holding, so offering it in Round 2 does not reduce the syndicate's 30% in that round. That does not protect the syndicate from future dilution. Round 3 and later financings may create new shares and dilute existing holders.

Founder equity buying capital and growth is the standard of the high-tech industry - every priced round ever raised is exactly that trade, and it is not a loss. A round happens because the company is raising capital, usually at a higher value than the round before it - dilution and value move in opposite directions, and neither is promised. What the trade buys is the two things an idea cannot buy itself: money to grow with and people whose own upside now depends on the company working. On the usual path a founder raises several rounds and typically lands under 50% having built the product, hired the team and run the company for years. Here, on the illustrative full-Round-2 path, you land at 51% and did none of that. The comparison that matters is not 51% against 70% - it is 51% of a funded, built, operating company against 100% of an idea.
