The Standard
What must be true for Infinity Forge to invest or syndicate. Criteria drawn from Crucible gate data, market analysis, and team assessment.
Gate-Linked Diligence
Pipeline data feeds the investment decision. Gate evaluations, artifact quality, iteration velocity, and customer signal all inform underwriting.
What Kills a Deal
Transparent about criteria. No defensible wedge, no reachable buyer, team misalignment, or regulatory blocking issues are deal-breakers.
Capital deployment mechanics
