Today is the day! (9pm pacific to be exact)
Applications for our first funding cycle are due this Wednesday at 9pm.

Paul, Bryan and I are proud to announce the close of Standard Capital's $425M Fund I. Standard Capital is Series A for the best founders. Applications for our inaugural funding cycle are open now.
This is a genius way to invest at Series A, to a large part because it's completely different from what is normal. All the basics (terms, partners, signal) are there, but the process is so crucially different that it will be a huge hit.

This is the series A investor I always wanted - Fill out a quick form, like applying to YC - Fast decision - No board seat - 10% dilution - Group office hours instead of board meetings - Work with @daltonc and @paultoo @Standard_Cap should be your first stop for series A
