Two people. Live in six months. On our own dime.
Two people built this on our own dime and unpaid time. Grown organically to 20 collectors and $1.15M in tracked value with no marketing. Post-raise, the team grows to match the ambition.
Collectors don't have a complete system of record. Accerted is that system.
A verified value alone is a data point. A verified record alone is a scrapbook. Together they're the system.
The collector doesn't pay for a catalog. They pay to sleep at night.
"If something happens to the collection and I need to prove what I had, what it was worth, and that it was real — right now, I can't."
Every one of these moments is where the product converts. Fear of loss, not love of catalogs.
Three forces converging. One customer at the center.
The macro is who's inheriting. The category is what they're inheriting. Both curves point at the same customer.
Two surfaces, one record. You'd see this if you signed up today.
Not renders. Running today. Data pulled from a live production account — anonymized.
$1.15M in tracked value. Twenty collectors. Zero paid marketing.
Zero paid distribution. This is what we built organically. The raise activates distribution, scales the professional channel, and pushes category expansion.
Four things have to be true for Accerted to work. Here's where each stands.
None of these are hidden. All of them are actively being proved. The raise accelerates the ones under our control.
Every item teaches the knowledge base. Cost is bounded. Value isn't.
A competitor can license the same feeds. They can't buy the knowledge from having seen every asset that came before.
No competitor combines verified documentation with authenticated market data across multiple categories.
The combination — not either half alone — becomes the default.
Track everything free. Pay for the record.
Items — the tracking layer — are unlimited on every tier. Assets — formal, attested, on-chain records that survive handoff — is where the model lives. Billing is live; the free tier gets three Assets to try the record layer, paid tiers scale from there.
Principal is where estate-and-trust expansion lands once that channel activates. Same product, priced for the volume it warrants.
Four channels. One built-in loop.
A collector who wants to show off, safely — and every share is a distribution loop back to us.
Two years of runway. Activated distribution, scaled professional channel, category depth across the board.
Two years to turn a live product into the category-leading platform for what people own.
Architecture, professional-portal role detail, shared entities for trusts & LLCs, blockchain anchoring detail, and terms. For anyone digging further.
Three surfaces. One shared backend.
One authoritative data model. Many purpose-built front doors. A competitor can copy a screen. Not a source of truth that three surfaces write to.
Not an affiliate deal. Embedded infrastructure.
Collection managers, personal assistants, and financial advisors get their own application — a professional's delegate identity is distinct from any personal collector account they may hold.
A professional using The Archivist is using Accerted's own tooling to do their job. Harder to peel away with a better commission split.
Real high-value assets are held by families, trusts, LLCs — not lone individuals.
"Does this handle assets that aren't owned by one person?"
Every entity is a viral loop: each member invited pulls another user onto the platform.
Every committed Asset is permanently timestamped.
A SHA-256 fingerprint of each document and a deterministic hash of each committed Asset are anchored to Polygon mainnet. Users never see the blockchain. Anchoring happens invisibly on commit; a record earns a "Blockchain Verified" state with an anchor date and a public explorer link. A public /verify page lets anyone with the file confirm integrity — no account required.
We're calling this proof, not moat. Chain writes are cheap; anyone can add hash-to-chain in a weekend. The value is in the discipline of running it on every commit, and in the honesty about what it proves.
In an era of AI-fabricated documents, anchoring closes the retroactive-tampering vector. Necessary. Not sufficient.
Standard SAFE. $10M cap. 20% discount.
Standard terms because the sequence is: raise pre-seed, prove PMF, then price the seed. Investors get better conversion economics for backing us at the bar.
