Fc Venture Program

By participating in the validation process of our venture program a few moments a month, you'll earn equity in Fc Centripetal, the enterprise software accelerator and our portfolio of companies. Therefore, our growing portfolio of technology companies over the next decade... is YOUR portfolio of technology companies too.

While assessing solutions, you have the ability to raise your hand or self-identify as being interested in mentoring the company. If you "match" with a solution & founder, you'll have the ability to earn direct equity in and from that company. We've even standardized the scope of mentor engagements and compensation with our portfolio companies, so there's nothing to debate or negotiate.

You'll always be head of the ever-evolving enterprise technology curve. By receiving a steady stream of bite-sized summaries of new technologies and solutions being developed, you'll not only maintain, but extend your competitive distance from your peers and competitors.

With our Pull rather than Push model, you can effortlessly scan dozens or even hundreds of burgeoning solutions a year in the effort of identifying only those technologies that address your organization's biggest pain points - and then help shape that technology to address your organization's specific needs.

Today, more than ever, all companies are technology companies. Organizations can adopt, deploy and maintain technology to simply keep up or they can weaponize their IT architectures and stacks by leveraging new technologies to give their organizations an unfair advantage versus their global competitors. By participating in a venture program that allows flash assessments of potentially hundreds of early-stage solutions, your organization can obtain an unfair advantage over its competitors.

For far too long IT professionals such as yourself have been forced to 'shadow mentor' in the dark for fear of their employers. We're putting an end to this. In concert with the preeminent technology-focused law firm in the world, Cooley, we have authored a landmark Mentor Agreement that protects you, your organization and the founders. We have made the agreement available to all to download and utilize.  Click here

While we can't read everyone's employment contract, this equity program was designed in partnership with Cooley, one of the world's leading tech law firms, to be compliant with the vast majority of employment agreements. Here's why:

• You are not receiving equity in any individual tech company.
• You are receiving equity appreciation units that convert to shares in Fc Centripetal —a non-vendor, non-operating holding company.
• You are rewarded strictly for your insights during due diligence, not for promoting or buying any product.

This is more conservative than typical expert network engagements or market research work, and no material non-public information (MNPI) or cash changes hands.

There are no tax consequences now for signing the EAA. In the future — if we distribute proceeds after an IPO, M&A, or exit — you may incur a taxable event. Please consult your tax advisor when that time comes.
