Flexible investment

Funding that fits your stage.

Every engagement can be structured one of these ways, or a blend.

  • Fee-for-service.

    Traditional scoped engagements at startup-calibrated rates. Predictable, simple, fast to start.

  • Cash + equity hybrid.

    A reduced cash fee paired with a small equity or warrant component: we lower the burn, you share the upside.

  • Equity-for-services.

    For select companies, Gene invests services in exchange for an equity stake. We only do this when we believe we’re joining a winner.

  • Milestone-based.

    Fees staged against funding rounds or growth milestones: pay as you raise, not before.

Equity structures are subject to mutual diligence and a separate agreement.
