Pre-Seed Round
Platform Preview

Mining deals are broken

Brokers ignore smaller deals

Projects under $20M don't get attention. They sit for years without exposure.

5-10% commissions

On a $5M deal, that's $250K-$500K lost to middlemen.

Buyers can't find deal flow

Quality projects are hidden in personal networks, spreadsheets, and outdated databases.

Projects collect dust

Good ground sits undeveloped because there's no efficient way to reach qualified buyers.

"Over 80% of mining M&A deals under $50M happen through personal networks, not public markets."

Why Now?

Mining M&A projected to surpass $100B in 2025 — on track for a two-decade record

1

Critical minerals surge

IEA: Demand must 3x by 2030 for net-zero. Major supply gaps projected.

2

Juniors are capital-starved

2024 funding hit 5-year low. Explorers need to divest non-core assets.

3

AI enables automation

For the first time, AI can automate deal packaging and due diligence at scale.

4

No incumbent to beat

Unlike real estate or autos, mining has no dominant marketplace. First-mover wins.
