02 - The customer

Three ways in. One progression.

Market-curious
-Interested in markets, not ready to trade.
-Watches verified trader battles and makes free picks.
-Learns what good trading behavior looks like before risking capital.
New to futures
-Wants a guided first experience without substantial personal capital at risk.
-Learns by doing through Flight School.
-Builds confidence before funded trading.
Already trades futures
-Wants funded access, payouts, competition, and a verified track record.
-Can skip onboarding and start funded.
Different starting points. One path forward.

Free picks and Flight School are onboarding layers. The monetized core remains funded trading and progression.

Product hypothesis · To be tested

Watch before you trade.

-Free picks let market-curious users participate before they trade.
-Scout cards make trader quality legible: green days, rule-safe streaks, drawdown, battle record.
-Arena rewards discipline, not just raw P&L.
-The goal is a daily habit loop before monetization begins.
Discipline wins. A breach loses.

06 - Distribution engine
Hypothesis · To be tested

The product becomes the distribution.

01Traders compete or perform on Astrofund
02Battles, verified trades, and milestones become shareable content
03Audiences watch, make free picks, and land on trader profiles
04Some spectators enter Flight School or start funded
05Their activity creates more battles, profiles, milestones, and content

Free participation widens the funnel before funded trading.

Verified profiles, scout cards, and shareable battles are designed to create discovery and referral.

Creators can acquire through performance-based affiliate / revenue-share channels.

07 - The progression

The journey is the product.

-Market-curious users can begin by watching and picking for free.
-New traders learn by doing in Flight School.
-Existing traders can start funded immediately.
-All three paths converge into the same progression.

Revenue begins at the funded-account layer.

Verified performance + social identity create retention, referral, and a basis for identifying traders for future capital allocation.

Funded stage = funded simulated account under real-market conditions.

Live markets = path toward live capital through appropriate regulated partners.

08 - Capital plan

$250K to prove a repeatable growth engine.

Use of capital
01Creator / affiliate acquisition experiments
02Flight School + mobile/social product validation
03Risk / operations / data
04Legal, compliance, and regulated-partner planning
What this round must prove
01Can we acquire customers repeatedly at attractive payback?
02Do free spectators convert into learners and funded buyers?
03Do cohorts repeat purchase / progress?
04Can creator channels scale beyond one-off deals?
05Does social / verified identity improve retention and referral?
06Can we establish a credible regulated-partner path to live markets?
Detailed operating model available separately. Not trading float.

Astrofund is not a broker. Any live-capital or brokerage pathway will require the right regulated partners and compliance planning.
