To secure the $1.2–$2.5 billion in "activation energy" required to pass the 1% Treaty, we employ a sophisticated, multi-phase fundraising strategy. This strategy is designed to maximize the speed of capital acquisition while ensuring capital efficiency and minimizing risk for early investors.
Our approach is built on three pillars:
Investor psychology requires a simple, powerful message. The underlying financial mechanics require efficiency. We achieve both.
Public-Facing Target (The "Hook"): For marketing and high-level communications, we will lead with a simple, audacious, and mathematically defensible target:
"We are targeting returns superior to the world's most elite hedge funds (~40% annualized), which projects to a ~28x return over 10 years. Our financial model is governed by a simple principle: investor payouts never exceed 50% of our income, guaranteeing our mission is always protected."
This message is designed to be memorable, signal the massive scale of the opportunity, and is credibly backed by our Investment Thesis and Dynamic Cash Flow Model.
Backend Mechanism (The "Engine"): For financial structuring and sales to sophisticated investors, we will use efficient market mechanisms like Dutch Auctions for public funding tranches. This allows the market to perform price discovery, ensuring we secure capital at the lowest possible cost (i.e., the lowest acceptable ROI for investors), thus maximizing the funds left for the DIH treasury.
The primary risk for an early investor is the collective action problem: "What if not enough other people invest?" We eliminate this risk entirely using Assurance Contracts.
Our fundraising will occur in stages, aligning with project milestones to progressively de-risk the investment.
