TrustChain Verification · Protocol Services

Three stages.
Each one earns the next.

You do not choose Phase 02. You earn it. The protocol runs in sequence because the introduction is only worth making when the file is ready to survive the room it enters.

A strong introduction cannot compensate for a weak file. Institutional review begins long before the first conversation. The three stages below exist because that sequence matters.

Context
A specialist GCC introduction broker typically charges $10,000 to $25,000 upfront with no protocol, no written verdict, and no structured gap analysis. TrustChain is a fraction of that cost. You receive a defensible written verdict whether or not you proceed to Phase 02. If Phase 02 produces no institutional engagement within 30 days, the full $2,500 is refunded.
Capital in This Corridor

What moves, and who moves it.

Indicative ranges for capital deployed into India-side companies through this corridor. The exact figure depends on stage, sector, and fund. Verification is about making your file ready to be considered for it.

Investor Type
Typical Range
Single Family Office
$500K – $5M
Multi-Family Office
$1M – $10M
Sovereign-linked Fund
$2M – $10M+
Strategic Corporate GCC
$1M – $15M+
Indicative only. Actual figures depend on stage, sector, and fund.

GCC sovereign funds and family offices do not operate on VC timelines. The diligence cycle runs 60 to 120 days for family offices and longer for sovereign funds. A file that enters that process with structural gaps does not get a second chance at a clean read.

The purpose of verification is not to make your company look better. It is to ensure the file holds up under the criteria the allocator actually applies, before the introduction is made and before the clock starts.

The check sizes above are not aspirational. They are representative of what flows through this corridor when files are structured correctly and introductions are made to the right institution at the right moment.

Fit

Who this is for.

Selective on purpose. Knowing the fit before a call saves everyone time. Exact stage, traction, and timing are confirmed on a short call.

Built for
India-side companies genuinely targeting GCC capital, not exploring it hypothetically
Post-seed through Series B with demonstrable traction or revenue
Files that can realistically reach institutional readiness with structured preparation
Founders ready to be evaluated honestly, whether the news is good or not
Companies that understand the difference between a warm introduction and a premature one
A cleared file means something to the people on the other side. That only holds if we are selective about which files we carry into the room.
Not a fit yet
Pre-product or pre-revenue concepts without a path to institutional readiness
Raises not aimed at the Gulf. GCC here means Gulf capital, not Global Capability Centres.
Founders wanting a guaranteed introduction without going through evaluation first
Companies looking for a faster, cheaper version of this process
Files that have already been introduced prematurely to named GCC institutions
A premature introduction to the wrong room is harder to recover from than no introduction at all. That is why the protocol runs before the outreach begins.
Questions

Straight answers.

What are typical check sizes?
Family offices typically deploy $500K to $5M. Institutional and sovereign-linked capital runs $2M to $10M and above. The figure moves with stage, sector, and the specific fund. The point of verification is to make your file ready to be seriously considered at this level.
Do you guarantee funding?
No. No one honest can. We verify whether your file is ready for institutional review, and for cleared files we make targeted, attributed introductions. Whether capital is committed is the allocator's decision on their timeline. Our introduction fee is tied to outcomes, which means we only benefit when you do. That alignment is the closest thing to a guarantee we will offer.
Do you work with every company?
No. We are selective on purpose. We work with India-side companies genuinely targeting GCC capital with files that can realistically reach institutional readiness. Saying no protects the value of our introduction when we say yes, because a cleared file means something to the people on the other side.
What is the difference between the Brief and the Verification?
The $497 Corridor Brief is a fast read. Where your file stands, which investor types fit, and the first gaps to close. The $2,500 Verification is the full forensic evaluation. All 44 markers, a clinical verdict, and a written institutional report built to forward. The brief tells you if it is worth going further. If you proceed within 30 days the $497 is credited in full.
How long does it take?
The Corridor Brief is delivered within 72 hours. The full Verification takes 7 to 10 business days from when your materials are received. Phase 02 introductions begin once a file clears with a GO verdict.
Do I need GCC incorporation?
No, not to begin. Verification evaluates your file as it stands today. Some GCC capital prefers or requires a local entity such as ADGM or DIFC before it deploys. If that applies it becomes part of your readiness path, not a prerequisite to start.
Why isn't this success-fee only?
Verification is real work with a written deliverable done before any introduction. It has value whether or not you proceed because you learn exactly where your file stands. Success-fee-only would force us to take only the files we are already certain will close. The upfront fee lets us do honest work for more companies. The success fee on Phase 02 keeps our incentives aligned with your raise.
What happens after verification?
A GO verdict opens Phase 02: targeted, attributed introductions to allocators whose mandate fits. A CONDITIONAL verdict comes with a resolution path for each gap. Close them and the file moves. A NO-GO means we tell you plainly what would need to change before this corridor is worth pursuing.
What if nothing happens? Is there a refund?
If Phase 02 outreach produces no institutional engagement within 30 days of activation, the $2,500 Phase 01 evaluation fee is refunded in full. The success fee on Phase 02 means we only earn when you raise, so we have every reason to take into outreach only files that are genuinely ready.
Can we split the retainer?
The $2,500 is typically paid upfront via Stripe. For board-led companies we can discuss a split arrangement case by case. Raise it on the call and we will find something workable.
