At D-Day, we focus exclusively on high-quality, AI-driven startups with real-world potential. To ensure every startup meets our standards for technical credibility, market opportunity, and investment potential, we use our proprietary DeepView vetting process.
Initial Screening Quick review of the startup’s core AI idea, market size, and founder background. "Does this solve a meaningful problem?"
“The Deal‑Container” Behind Every D‑Day Investment
A Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) is a one‑off legal entity—usually an LLC—created solely to hold a single investment. Think of it as a “deal container.” Everything that goes into the container (cash, startup shares) and everything that comes out of it (proceeds at IPO) is isolated from other deals and from D‑Day’s operating company.
AI Technology & IP Check We verify technical feasibility, originality, AI model performance, data quality, and intellectual property ownership. "Is the AI technology robust, original, and defensible?"
Market & Competitive Analysis Thorough assessment of total market opportunity, growth potential, competitive landscape, and scalability. "Can this startup realistically dominate or significantly disrupt its market?"
Founder & Team Vetting Evaluation of the founders’ vision, past execution record, leadership qualities, and commitment to the project’s success. "Does the team have the talent, track record, and grit to succeed?"
Business Model & Investment Potential Review of the startup’s revenue strategy, commercial roadmap, profit margins, financial health, and exit opportunities. "Is there a clear, viable path to generating returns for investors?"
Final Committee Approval A streamlined internal vote ensures all criteria are confidently met.

Transparency: Clear scoring, straightforward communication, and detailed insights for our community.
DeepView ensures we deliver only the most credible, innovative, and impactful AI startups, every single time.
Simple cap table for founders
The SPV appears as one shareholder instead of hundreds of small investors.
Transparent ownership for investors
Your equity stake is crystal‑clear: you own LP units in the SPV, and the SPV owns shares in the startup—no hidden layers.
Regulatory fit
U.S. securities rules are designed around SPVs; audits, K‑1s, blue‑sky filings all have a home.
At D‑Day we form a Series‑LLC in Delaware. The master LLC (the “umbrella”) spawns a new internal Series for every startup—effectively creating a fresh SPV each time without a full reincorporation.
Below is the end‑to‑end path, separated into non‑U.S. investors (Reg S) and U.S. angel‐club investors (Reg D §506 b “white‑glove”) so you can see exactly what happens in either case.
Read the Deal Memo in GitBook → understand thesis, terms, and soft / hard caps.
Wallet Setup – Any Solana‑compatible wallet (e.g., Phantom, Backpack) will work. This wallet will later receive your security tokens.
1. Acquire Utility Tokens
Buy on a Solana DEX (Raydium, Meteora).
Price discovery begins; on‑chain volume gauges market demand.
2. Burn for Access
Use the Burn dApp to destroy a preset amount of tokens → get a one‑time “burn receipt.”
Smart contract records wallet as eligible for equity round.
3. KYC & Sign Docs
Upload passport, pass sanctions check, e‑sign Subscription Agreement.
Compliance oracle marks wallet KYC‑passed.
4. Fund the SPV
Send USDC to the offshore escrow wallet.
1. Private Invitation
Club receives deal deck via existing relationship (no public marketing).
—
2. Accreditation Letter
Club collects CPA/attorney letters for each participating member.
—
3. Subscription Packet
Club signs master Subscription Agreement on behalf of members.
Validate club accreditation; create investor ledger.
4. Funding
Club wires a single USDC tranche to the broker‑dealer escrow wallet.
An SPV is your single‑deal holding tank. You invest into it once, receive a security token that can’t wander off until exit, and—when the startup wins—you get paid out automatically on‑chain. Everything else (token burns, legal filings, KYC, cap‑table headaches) is handled behind the scenes so you can focus on tracking the company, not chasing paperwork.
Funds batched; escrow remits to SPV bank acct.
5. Receive Security Tokens
Token‑2022 LP units appear in your wallet—1 token = 1 LP unit.
Mint transaction logged on‑chain; transfer lock timer starts (12 mo. into U.S.).
6. Monitor & Wait
Track startup KPIs in the D‑Day dashboard; tokens stay non‑transferable.
Quarterly updates; audited financials uploaded annually.
7. Exit Event
IPO or SPV sale triggers cash/stocks flowing into the SPV.
Smart contract burns your security tokens and streams your share of proceeds (USDC) straight to your wallet.
Burn required utility tokens on club’s behalf to satisfy “ticket” rule.
5. Token Delivery
Club designates a Solana wallet (custodian or internal multisig).
Mint & transfer the aggregate LP security tokens to that wallet.
6. Reporting
Club receives quarterly statements + K‑1 equivalents; can forward to members.
File Form D within 15 days; maintain blue‑sky compliance.
7. Exit Distribution
Club’s wallet auto‑receives USDC / public shares; club disburses internally.
Smart contract burns security tokens; records on‑chain proof of payout.
Mission: Create an open, programmable capital market that lets visionary startups raise money and build global communities at internet speed—while giving everyday investors fair, compliant access to returns that used to be locked inside elite VC circles.
Vision: A world where the next SpaceX‑level company isn’t financed by a handful of insiders but by tens of thousands of aligned believers whose ownership and upside is recorded transparently on‑chain. D‑Day will be the default launch ramp for breakthrough technology, unbundling Wall Street so innovation and wealth creation become truly borderless.
24/7 Markets – Assets trade and settle any hour, any day, because the “exchange” is public blockchain code, not a physical venue with a closing bell.
Programmable Compliance – Transfer rules (KYC, holding periods, jurisdictional blocks) are baked into the token itself; no paperwork ping‑pong.
One Wallet, Global Assets – A single crypto wallet can hold equities, bonds, real estate shares, even money‑market funds—instantly swappable or postable as collateral.
Think of ICM as “the internet’s version of a stock market,” where code replaces paperwork and geography no longer blocks participation.
Result: Breakthrough companies waste months chasing capital, while 99 % of potential investors watch from the sidelines until it’s too late.
Curate — D‑Day vets deep‑tech startups for IP strength, scalability, and founder credibility.
Ignite — Each startup launches a utility token on Solana → instant community, 24/7 price signal, viral reach.
Gate — Holders burn tokens to secure a “ticket” into the equity round; only the committed proceed.
Net effect: Startups raise capital and community simultaneously; investors capture early‑stage equity with compliance baked in; every step is tracked on a public ledger, creating the first true Internet Capital Market for private tech.
Lower Friction, Lower Fees – Smart contracts replace layers of brokers, registrars, and lawyers, compressing cost and time for both issuers and investors.
Distribute — Upon IPO or buy‑out, exit proceeds flow back on‑chain to security‑token holders.
Gate‑kept Funding
Need warm VC intros; 6‑ to 12‑month rounds.
Can’t enter until IPO; upside mostly gone.
Slow Market Feedback
Price discovery via infrequent, private valuations.
Little transparency; rely on press leaks & quarterly letters.
Global Misalignment
Talent is worldwide but capital is local.
Opportunities fragmented by geography & regulation.
Subscription – Investor signs Series‑specific Subscription Agreement & Joinder (DocuSign).
Capital Transfer –
U.S. angel clubs (Reg D 506(b)) wire USDC to a designated BD Escrow Wallet operated by a registered broker‑dealer partner.
Identical to earlier description—global marketing allowed as long as U.S. persons are geo‑blocked and contractual legends prevent resale into the United States for 12 months. Steps: KYC → Subscription → USDC → Token‑2022 issuance with Category 3 legend enforced on‑chain.
This documentation is informational and not an offer to sell securities. Any U.S. participation occurs solely through Reg D §506(b) private placements to accredited investors with an existing relationship. Non‑U.S. offerings rely on Reg S. Read the full Private Placement Memorandum before investing.
Equity Purchase – Escrow remits USD to the startup for preferred shares, which are held by the Series SPV.
Security‑Token Mint – Token‑2022 LP units minted 1:1 and delivered to the wallet specified in the subscription (for U.S. clubs this can be the club’s custodian wallet).
Cap‑Table Sync – On‑chain ledger + off‑chain PDF schedule updated daily.
Master LLC
“D‑Day Capital Series LLC” formed in Delaware; single EIN and master operating agreement.
Individual Series
Each deal is ring‑fenced in its own Series.
Members & Managers
• Members = LP investors represented by Token‑2022 security tokens. • Managing Member = D‑Day GP entity with fiduciary duty and admin key in multisig.
1. No General Solicitation
All U.S. outreach is private: e‑mail lists, Zoom calls, or existing relationships with angel clubs / syndicates. No public posts, ads, or Discord invites targeting U.S. persons.
2. Investor Eligibility
Unlimited accredited investors plus ≤ 35 “sophisticated but non‑accredited” (not anticipated). Clubs typically supply accreditation letters for all members.
3. Verification
Because §506(b) does not permit public marketing, self‑certification in the Subscription + third‑party accreditation letter is sufficient (less onerous than §506(c)).
4. Web3 Handling (White‑Glove)
U.S. clubs often prefer Web2 rails: D‑Day burns the requisite utility tokens on their behalf and mints the security tokens to the club’s Solana wallet. The club never touches the utility token directly, avoiding a potential public offering claim.
5. Lock‑Ups
Rule 144 applies: security tokens non‑transferable for 12 months; enforced by Token‑2022 TransferHook.
6. Reporting
Form D filed with the SEC within 15 days of first sale; blue‑sky filings handled Series‑by‑Series.
