TrustChain Protocol — VC & Series A–B · Cross-Border Mandates · Tokyo

The founder's numbers
look real.
Let's confirm they are.

At Series A and B, you're betting on traction. TrustChain independently verifies that the ARR is real, the customers are contracted, and the operational claims in the deck match physical reality — before you wire the term sheet.

Why it matters at Series A–B

Three misrepresentation risks
specific to venture deals.

01

Inflated ARR and customer counts are the most common Series A fraud vector.

Founders control the data room. Customer references are curated. ARR figures are self-reported. Without independent contact, you are relying entirely on information the founder has chosen to share. TrustChain contacts customers directly — not through founder introduction.

02

Cross-border deals have a verification gap your local counsel cannot close.

Your legal team can verify corporate structure. They cannot walk into a Mumbai facility and count the engineering headcount, or confirm that the Tokyo distribution contracts are active. That physical gap is where misrepresentation lives.

03

14 days fits your deal timeline. $10,000 fits your deal economics.

VC mandates start at $10,000 for $5M–$20M deals. At median Series A fraud loss, the return on verification is 28× before you account for LP trust and portfolio reputation. The question is not whether you can afford verification — it is whether you can afford to skip it.

How it works

From mandate to verified verdict in four steps.

01

Submit the Mandate

Share the data room and confirm what needs verifying — ARR, customer contracts, headcount, IP, or all of the above. Scoped in 24 hours.

›
02

Fixed-Fee Agreement

$10,000–$25,000 depending on jurisdiction and scope. No hourly billing. Fee agreed before work begins. VC pricing starts lower than PE — deal size adjusted.

›
03

Independent Verification

On-ground specialists contact customers directly, verify headcount, inspect facilities, and cross-reference registry records. No founder-facilitated introductions.

›
04

Verdict in 14 Days

GO / CONDITIONAL GO / NO-GO verdict with Sovereign Readiness Score, direct customer contact records, and full evidence package. Delivered before your IC meeting.

You see a business case. You discuss it. And it's fiction. There is no map of how you're going to get there. Somebody was selling 20 million units of a product globally — no business development, no cost structure, nothing.
