Every investor is looking for a company worth backing. Every founder is looking for investors worth building with. FairClub brings them together. Introducing FairClub: where private capital forms. The internet changed how companies are built. Raising money still runs through spreadsheets, group chats, cold DMs and whoever happens to be in your phone. FairClub brings the whole raise into one place – from first introduction to final close. For founders, that means: • build a private Deal Room • find aligned investors who fit the round • see the warmest path in your network to reach them • track questions, follow-ups and registered interest • prepare the legal handoff and close using stablecoins For investors, it means one place to: • discover curated private deals screened for compliance and supported by industry leaders • meet and talk to the team • review the terms, documents and available diligence • register non-binding interest if they want to go further Every deal has its own access rules, eligibility requirements, minimums, availability and legal documents. FairClub is non-custodial, and every raise on the platform settles in stablecoins on @solana. Our goal is simple: Your network should open doors. It should not decide where opportunity ends. One more thing... Comment below and we’ll run an audit on your X account to reveal your Investor Social Score - what builds trust, what weakens your signal and how to improve it. Then we’ll publish your Investor Social Score in the replies. Watch the FairClub film below 👇

Grateful to @01Resolved for spotlighting FAIR in its latest Ownership Coin research. We’re building private capital-formation infrastructure for founders, curators, and aligned capital, making serious rounds more organized, transparent, and ready for what comes next. Read the report here:

The strongest ecosystems are built by people who stay close to the builders. @SuperteamNL has become an important part of the @solana builder landscape in the Netherlands, supporting founders, connecting local talent, and helping ambitious teams find the people, resources, and partners needed to move faster. As a FAIR curator, Superteam NL will help bring that local context into a more structured private capital-formation process. For founders, that means a stronger path from early ecosystem support to capital readiness. For partners, it means better context around the teams and communities they are engaging with. Better builder ecosystems create better companies. Better companies deserve better infrastructure around their rounds. Welcome to FAIR, Superteam NL

SPVs should make private investing more accessible, not more opaque or expensive. FAIR is working with specialist partners to simplify the path: from fragmented administration → to clearer workflows → to lower-cost, better-structured vehicles. For founders, that means more of the raise can stay focused on building, not coordinating disconnected providers. Better infrastructure creates better rounds.

Fair MCP is opening to selected teams preparing private rounds. Connect your AI agents to FairOS and turn deal-room maintenance into a more connected, continuous workflow. Your raise, now running smarter with FAIR.

internet capital markets are cracking fundraising wide open it’s very exciting but they’re also making it very easy to make even more long term mistakes early on in your start up for a lot of OG crypto founders it used to be more simple: pitch VCs launch a token now the stack has become much larger: - grants for runway - accelerators for signal - community rounds for distribution - auctions and futarchy for allocation - stablecoins for settlement lots of options, also very easy to get in over your head each tool can solves a different job a grant can buy runway but it doesn’t prove demand an accelerator can lend credibility but it doesn’t always replace diligence and launching a token really deserves extra caution.. a start up can suddenly have a public price, a crowd of holders, governance expectations and big compliance questions - all before the product or business model has settled and they've found PMF private structures can sometimes be amended around a table a traded token comes with a crowd of unsophisticated investors asking you what’s up every 5 mins, and a chart/market price that you can never get away from that’s constantly being jeeted by people with the attention of a gold fish you want to raise capital in the future ? you want to sell your Co or potentially IPO? good luck ... capital formation is becoming part of product design i’m not saying no one should launch a token but choose the wrong structure too early and you may spend years building around it or it may just ruin you all together goodluck out there frends and stay curios..

I keep looking at @Solana and thinking: this is becoming a very different way to build a company. Hackathons and incubators find the builders (shoutout @icmdotrun). @superteam chapters help them find their people, and all their connected communities bring the first users. What happens when those teams are ready to raise through equity or a SAFE though? How do they carry that trust into the round? That’s the bridge we want @fairdotclub to help build.

Don't (Start) Work in Venture Capital Almost every day I get a note from a student saying they want to get into venture investing. got a nice one yesterday from a rising senior at Harvard (comp sci major), here was my response: my strong, strong recommendation: don't start in venture capital or even investing! this is the greatest time in the world to *build* something. investors are parasites. they (we) need a host. as an investor, your destiny is basically whether you can find somebody to hitch your wagon to. but if you're technical and determined, you can now create anything! that having been said, when you are 21 you aren't exposed to a broad array of problems in the world. most college students i meet just know homework, dating, and food -- and consequently start companies/build products around those areas. so my recommendation (even if you want to end up as an investor): join a very exciting company now. there are only two jobs at real companies: making the thing, or selling the thing. choose which path you want. and as you get more experience there, and are exposed to more problems in the world, and more people in a work environment, maybe you'll start something. and THEN, you'll have a powerful network, an understanding of how products work vs don't work, deep insights that you can coach people with, etc. and you'll probably already have done a few little investments here and there. and THEN you will be interesting for a venture firm. i didn't reach out to any vcs to get a job, they all pursued me, which is not meant to sound arrogant -- rather it's how most firms operate. most venture firms don't hire mbas anymore. we want people who enhance our ability to find, pick, and win deals, and overwhelmingly this means people who worked at a startup. there are exceptions, but they're rare. it's the inverse of the world 30 years ago. good luck!

This is why I find the @superteam model so interesting A builder can enter @Solana through a hackathon, find their people through a local chapter, earn early users from the community, then experiment with entirely new ways to raise and coordinate capital. That is a very different company-formation machine from the one we grew up with.. The next question though is what happens when the strongest teams are ready to raise through equity, SAFEs or other private rounds? How do they take that next step while carrying forward the trust and transparency they built with the people and communities that helped them get there? That’s a gap we want @fairdotclub to help close. As a @SuperteamAU member, I get a front-row view of what makes this bottom-up movement so powerful: local communities finding talented builders early, backing them and helping real companies take shape. I want FAIR to become the natural next step for the strongest teams emerging from Superteam chapters - carrying that trust into a serious equity round with aligned investors and support around them. @SuperteamNL and @LaFamilia_so joining FAIR as curators is a meaningful step in that direction. Still early. Very interesting. Stay curious frens 🫡

The killer use case for @fairdotclub: • organize a structured equity raise around stablecoin rails • replace six fundraising tools with one deal room • bring your network while new investors discover the deal • keep token and futarchy paths open as the company evolves

The best founders never bank on one door opening. This is a genuinely useful list, seven live programs, one with $1M on the table! And it's exactly why our member @sunnyriver is building @fairdotclub to create more paths between founders and aligned capital. 🦘

Private capital formation needs to evolve beyond fragmented outreach, loose introductions, and public-first launch mechanics. The next generation of founders need a more structured way to prepare, coordinate, and close early rounds. > Private Deal Rooms and clearer diligence from day one > Curator-led access that prioritizes context, quality, and readiness > Solana-native rails for programmable ownership, treasury coordination, and post-close governance FAIR is building the operating layer for better private rounds: private when needed, curated when ready, and built to compound across the @solana ecosystem.

Missed the @ycombinator deadline? Seven founder programs are still taking applications, including one for $1M in funding. I checked the terms and sorted them by who they’re best for: 1.

YC’s deadline has passed, but there are still strong founder programmes accepting applications across the US, Europe, and MENA > @hub71ad Cohort 20 A programme for ambitious founders building, growing, and scaling from Abu Dhabi, with access to Hub71’s startup community and ecosystem.

The best programme depends on your stage, what you are building, and whether you need capital, founder support, customer access, product feedback, or a stronger path into your next round. For founders preparing in parallel, FAIR helps organize the work behind a private raise, materials, relationships, diligence, and outreach in one structured workflow.
