Fair questions.
Straight answers.

There is no upfront development fee, hourly rate, or build invoice. If we decide to work together, Mission Ventures receives equity instead. Equity has value, so this is a partnership—not free labor.

There isn’t a fixed percentage. Every project is different, and we’ll agree on clear terms before development begins. Neither side is committed until those terms are signed.

No. You can pitch an idea before forming a company. If we move forward, we’ll help clarify what needs to exist before development starts.

Absolutely not. Seven plain-English answers tell us more than a polished 40-slide deck usually does.

Not automatically. What matters is that you have the time, knowledge, and commitment to turn the product into a business. We’ll talk honestly about expectations before partnering.

Generally, no. We receive many ideas and may already be working on or evaluating something similar. Your submission isn’t public, but submitting it does not create a confidentiality obligation.

You retain whatever rights you already have. A submission does not transfer ownership to Mission Ventures. Formal terms shown before submission govern the details.

We don’t build illegal businesses, gambling products, crypto or web3 speculation, adult-industry products, malicious or security-abuse software, or other products we determine are inappropriate. We generally don’t build hardware.

Yes, but we limit accounts to three active ideas and one new pitch every 24 hours. One thoughtful submission is more compelling than a hundred generated ones.

You cover the direct costs your business incurs, such as domains, hosting, APIs, app-store accounts, payment processing, legal work, insurance, and other third-party services. We agree on responsibilities before development begins.

That can happen. Many people independently see the same problems and arrive at similar ideas. A submission does not prevent us from considering or building similar products with others.

AI systems may assist our internal analysis, research, or summarization. Mission’s owners make every partnership decision. We don’t publish your submission, and we keep the AI processing scope intentionally limited.
