What a Captain Gets

Not passive equity. Founding crew of one industry vertical, with the rights, access, and ownership that title carries.

Industry Cluster Ownership

One Captain per industry. You become the canonical reference customer / partner for your vertical on DWS IQ 6 — credited on the platform, in press, and in regulatory filings as Industry Captain.

Board Observer Rights

Quarterly board observer seat at Lifetime Oy: financials, hiring plans, product roadmap, and strategic decisions visible in real time. Voice, not vote.

Roadmap Influence

Direct input into the DWS IQ 6 and Firehorse roadmap for your vertical. Industry priorities flow from Captains into the engineering backlog — not from a generic product committee.

Industry-Trained LWM Model

Your industry's QLoRA-tuned model in the Lifetime World Model gets co-developed with your domain experts. The Captain's regulatory data and use cases shape the V1 and V2 training set.

Co-Sell Rights

Co-marketing, co-selling, and joint go-to-market in your vertical. Lifetime Oy lists you as Industry Captain on the public roster; you become the lighthouse account competitors point at.

SAFE + Pro-Rata

€50K SAFE at €3.8M valuation cap with 18% discount. Pro-rata rights into the follow-on Series A. Standard YC-style SAFE terms, EU-jurisdiction adapted.

The Nine Industry Clusters

One Captain per cluster. Once a seat is taken it closes — the cluster belongs to that Captain through Series A.

Application Process

Five steps. Two to four weeks from briefing to signed SAFE. Designed to fit a strategic investor / industry executive timeline.

1 · Captain Briefing (30 min)

Book a private briefing with Risto Paarni (CEO). Walk-through of the platform, deal terms, board observer mechanics, and the cluster you want to own.

You receive the full data room: financials, customer pipeline, technical architecture, EU compliance posture, and the per-industry roadmap. Q&A by email.

3 · Cluster Lock

Verbal commit triggers a 14-day exclusivity lock on your industry cluster. No other Captain can take that seat during the window.

4 · SAFE Signing

Standard YC-style SAFE, €3.8M cap, 18% discount, pro-rata rights. EU-jurisdiction adapted. DocuSign within 48 hours of countersign.
