Capital and support.
Not control.
We purchase the subnet slot and cover the upfront capital requirements so you can focus entirely on building. The structure is designed around one principle: your long-term ownership and independence.
This isn’t heavy dilution or permanent control. It’s a launchpad with a clear path to full autonomy.
Founder-Friendly Terms
The founding team retains the majority share of subnet owner emissions. You keep the upside as the subnet grows. We take a minority position, enough to have skin in the game, not enough to get in your way.
Buyout Clause Built In
Every deal includes a predefined path for the team to acquire full ownership of the coldkey over time. From day one you know exactly how to become completely independent.
Operational Support
Case-by-case funding for development, infrastructure, marketing, and operations, targeted at what you actually need, not a blanket arrangement.
Ecosystem Intelligence
Registration, subnet dynamics, incentive mechanism design, validator relationships, market positioning. We’ve navigated all of it. You don’t have to figure it out from scratch.
Most investors write a cheque.
We do a lot more than that.
Anyone can fund a subnet slot. What we bring to every deal is the accumulated knowledge of a team that trades, invests in, and operates inside Bittensor every single day.
Deep Ecosystem Knowledge
Registration, subnet mechanics, network dynamics, and the unwritten rules that take months to learn. We share all of it.
Incentive Mechanism Design
Crafting sustainable incentive structures that attract quality miners and validators, and keep them. This is where most subnets get it wrong.
Model & Integration Support
Architecture review, Bittensor optimisation, and competitive positioning within the network. We want your subnet to perform.
Market Perception & Positioning
Storytelling, community building, and how to stand out in a crowded ecosystem. We’ve watched what works and what doesn’t.
Business & Operations
Strategy, go-to-market, execution, and scaling a decentralised project. The fundamentals most technical teams don’t want to think about, but have to.
Network & Relationships
Direct relationships with subnet teams, validators, ecosystem builders, and partners including Bigtensor and Bitstarter. Doors that would otherwise take months to open.
We don’t just talk.
Here’s what we’ve built.
We’ve co-funded two live subnet slots on Bittensor. Both teams are building. Both are supported by the Collective.
SN118 — Ditto AI
Ditto is building the smart home for AI agents, organising memory, context, and workflows across every tool and thread. The Beyond Finance Collective co-funded the SN118 slot and continues to work alongside the team and Bigtensor in an active advisory capacity.
SN111 — DeSciClaims
DeSciClaims is building decentralised science infrastructure on Bittensor. We co-funded the subnet slot via a partnership with Bitstarter, coordinating the deal and supporting the team through launch.
Beyond Finance co-funded subnet slots for both projects and provides ongoing support. We are not the operating team behind either project. All investments carry risk.
We’re selective.
So are the best teams.
We actively look for teams with strong AI or ML ideas, innovative use cases, and the drive to build something meaningful inside the decentralised intelligence network. We don’t back every idea that comes to us. We back the ones we genuinely believe in.
We’re a good fit if:
- You have a clear, technically sound subnet concept
- You have the team to execute but need capital or runway
- You want a partner who understands Bittensor deeply, not just a cheque
- You’re building for the long term, not a quick extraction
- You’re open to honest feedback and collaborative support
We’re probably not a good fit if:
- Your concept is undeveloped or purely speculative
- You want capital without involvement or accountability
- You’re not building something that adds genuine value to the ecosystem
- You’re looking for a passive investor who stays out of the way entirely
Have a subnet idea?
Let’s talk.
If you’ve read this far, you’re probably already thinking about it.
Don’t overthink it. Tell us about your concept, your team, and what you need. No lengthy decks. No formal pitches. Just an honest conversation about whether there’s a fit.
We back the right people at the right time. If that’s you, this is where it starts.
We review every submission personally. If it’s not the right fit we’ll tell you honestly, and we’ll tell you why.
