Deal Flow Access

Invest in
Execution.

90% of your angel investments fail because the team couldn't ship. We removed that variable. Welcome to verified, execution-grade deal flow.

The Angel Trap

Blind Betting: You see 50 decks a month. They all look great. But you have no way to verify if the technical team can actually build the product, or if the "CTO" is just a freelancer who will churn in 2 months.

Messy Caps: Startups arrive with broken cap tables, advisors holding 5% for "intros", and no clean IP assignment.

Zero Visibility: Once you wire, you get a quarterly update (maybe). You have no view into the repository, the velocity, or the actual build progress.

The Orb21 Filter

Technical Diligence: We are not a VC fund. We are a factory. Every startup on our platform has been vetted by our Builder network. If the code isn't shipping, it doesn't get listed.

Clean Structure: Standardized legal documents (FAST/SAFE), verified vesting schedules for all builders, and 100% IP assignment from Day 1.

Active Tracking: Our platform tracks contributions on-chain. You invest in teams that are actually pushing code, not just pushing pixels on slides.

The Math of Returns

If you eliminate the teams that can't build, your portfolio's survival rate mathematically increases.

We help you avoid the zeros so you can hit the home runs.
