Open.Raise · openraise.capital
This Series A lists on Open.Raise.
Critical.Minerals is the desk. Open.Raise is the vehicle. Sign in, file NDA, indicate a cheque. Two companies. One round.
Not an offer of securities. The live Series A room is on Open.Raise.
Workflow
Eight gates. Do not skip one.
01 Public intel
AnyoneGate: None
Home, periodic table, pitch PDF, share card. No numbers that are not already on the floor.
02 Attention
X · Grok · WhatsAppGate: A human shares a URL. We do not spray.
Unfurl the card. A Grok answer that cites the product. A named intro on WhatsApp. That is the whole top of funnel.
03 Qualify
DeskGate: Fund name, LEI or equivalent, cheque band.
Retail and tyre-kickers stop here. Family office, fund, or corporate development only.
04 NDA
House counselGate: Signed one-way NDA (house template, Singapore law). Preview records it to a named seat.
Unlocks the room. Does not unlock SWIFT, KYB bodies, or a cap table that does not yet exist.
05 Data room
Vault ACLGate: Role: GP, counsel, LP, house.
Same moat as cargo: who sees which folder, where it sits, when it unlocks. View log is the evidence.
06 Partner meeting
Chair (once hired)Gate: One hour. Path A or Path B chosen in the room.
Do not mix the cheques. $24m desk or $2.4m stack. Not both from one seed.
07 IC / term sheet
Their committeeGate: Their paper, our numbers as already published.
Unit economics, moat under scrutiny, use of funds. No new model in the meeting.
08 Close
CounselGate: Money in. Chair search starts the same week.
Series A on Path A, or a product sale process on Path B. The room archives. It does not become a second company by accident.
Channels
What X, Grok and WhatsApp actually do.
Distribution, not CRM.
X
Share card unfurls. Intent tweet with the public URL. Founder posts. People ask Grok; Grok can cite what is already public.
We cannot buy Grok’s answers. We cannot scrape DMs. X Ads are optional later — not the first dollar.
A brief, on demand.
xAI / Grok
One click writes a 12-line partner brief from the public pack. Spends the app owner’s quota. User-initiated only.
Not a chatbot on every visit. Not a substitute for the Chair. Not due-diligence advice.
Where family offices actually live.
WhatsApp Business
Click-to-chat with a prefilled NDA request. Later: a utility template “room is open” — not a broadcast list.
Not a growth hack. Named intros only. Cloud API comes after a Meta business account — not this preview.
Open.Raise
The second company. Not a crowd round.
The raise, opened only for the right party. Open.Raise (openraise.capital) is the second company: vault + NDA + room as a permissioned hub for hard-asset raises. Separate cheque. No client-money from the desk. Not a crowd round — default deny, named seats only.
The raise path stays a rail on criticalminerals.market. Same vault. Same Chair. One company.
Do not fund Path A and Open.Raise from the same $24m. Mixing them produces a demo with two fake boards.
