Pricing & plans
Hockystick charges founders, not investors' wallets-by-data: the platform's job is to make founders fundable, so founders pay a subscription and a success fee only when a round actually closes. Full live comparison at hockystick.app/pricing.
The model
Six plans — three founder tiers, three investor tiers — plus pay-as-you-go add-ons (extra deal rooms and team seats at $5/month each) and a success fee on closed rounds. Every plan starts with a 30-day free trial, no credit card required. Founder data is never sold; investors pay for tooling, not for access to founder information.

The success fee
When a round closes through a Hockystick deal room, the platform charges a success fee of 1.5% of the closed amount — minimum $500, maximum $15,000. The cap matters: on a $5M round the fee is $15K, not $75K. The fee funds the parts of the platform that make closing possible — the NDA framework and the confrontational due-diligence engine — and aligns Hockystick's incentive with the founder's: we only earn meaningfully when you close.
Investor access
Investor registration is open during beta — no application or approval step. You build a profile the same way founders do, and founders see your fund and thesis before sharing sensitive material.
