Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need prior startup experience?

No. We prefer first-time founders with raw MVPs and hunger to build. Execution and coachability matter more than experience.

What if I don't have a co-founder yet?

We strongly recommend applying with a co-founder, especially one with technical depth. If you're solo but exceptional, we can discuss.

How do we help with Visa?

We connect you with our empanneled Visa agent who can help you with either O1 or B1/B2 visa options. Visa costs are borne by the startup.

What support will I get in the US?

We'll open our network of founders and investors to you and potentially host a portfolio showcase in March/April to help you get visibility. However, we do want to select founders who are keen on figuring things out on their own.

What is All In Capital?

We are an exclusively pre-seed fund that has been the first investor to over 75 companies. We back non-obvious founders and know how to support a founder early in their journey. You can find out more about us at allincapital.vc

How much equity does All In Capital take?

This varies based on the investment structure and terms. We'll discuss specifics during the application process with founder-friendly terms.
