In a world that idolizes outliers- the visionary founder, the breakout influencer, the unstoppable athlete, you’d think access to funding would be easier.

It’s not.

If you’re building something unconventional- a startup, a personal brand, a professional sports career, conventional funding will not always back you. 

Bank loans demand collateral. Investors want lightning-fast scalability. Grants and sponsorships come with strings attached.

You need a partner who fits and understands your journey. A way to finance your dreams before you think of giving up.

That’s where Chisos comes in.

What Is Chisos?

Chisos exists for those taking the non-traditional path. We believe in the power of talent, grit, and vision, and we put capital behind it.

Our mission is simple: Investing in Human Ventures. 

Instead of forcing you into a box, like demanding a detailed 5-year revenue projection or a flawless credit score, we meet you where you are and invest in your potential.

Whether you're a spirited founder, a rising athlete, or a creator building your digital empire, Chisos is built to help you grow, without forcing you to give up control or shoulder impossible risks.

Who Chisos Is For

At Chisos, we back individuals with talent, ambition, and momentum. Our typical partners fall into three categories:

Founders

Early-stage entrepreneurs who have a bold vision but lack the capital to take their startup from concept to traction. Maybe you're pre-revenue. Maybe you've bootstrapped as far as you can.

You may not have a million-dollar pitch deck,  but you have the thing that matters: the drive to build.

Influencers and Creators

Modern-day media empires are often solo operations in the beginning. Growing your brand, launching products, and building a loyal audience all take time, creativity, and yes, cash.

We help creators invest in their platforms, their marketing, and their growth engines.

Athletes

Aspiring pros and athlete-influencers are grinding toward greatness. From training and travel costs to brand development and recovery, chasing a dream in sports is expensive and urgent.

We fund the journeys that deserve a real shot, whether it’s going pro or owning your name, image, and likeness (NIL) brand.

How Chisos Works

No banks. No restrictive terms. No endless paperwork.

We provide flexible funding through a unique financial instrument that blends elements of a small equity stake and a simple income share. Here’s what that means:

• Upfront Capital to fuel your goals now, not someday.
  
  
• Flexible Repayments that scale with your success, not rigid monthly bills that crush you.
  
  
• Minimal Dilution, especially compared to traditional venture capital or aggressive sponsorship deals.
  
  
• Aligned Incentives, we only succeed if you succeed.
  
  

Our process is fast, founder-friendly, and built around you, not just your credit score or business plan.

Why Legacy Funding Doesn’t Work for Unconventional Talent

If you're chasing a dream outside the lines, chances are, you've already run into the same brick wall. 

• Bank Loans: Built for stable, predictable businesses with hard assets. Not for visionaries betting on themselves.
  
  
• Venture Capital and Angel Investment: Optimized for high-growth tech plays, not solo founders, creators, or athletes growing personal brands.
  
  
• Credit Cards: Easy to get, expensive to live with. High-interest debt can strangle momentum before it ever builds.
  
  
• Friends and Family: Helpful if you have it. Devastating if you don't.
  
  

Conventional routes assume you already have something: assets, connections, capital.

At Chisos, we have a different point of view. Your past achievements, your future determination, and your relentless pursuit of a goal are the real assets we invest in.

Chisos sees the value in the moment before the breakout, when the need for support is greatest and the upside is just beginning. We believe your ambition deserves real backing, not a system that demands you bootstrap forever or gamble your future on high-risk debt.

How is Chisos Different

We Move Fast

You can’t afford to wait months for an investment decision. Chisos moves at your pace because windows of opportunity don’t wait.

We Partner, Not Prey

We're not here to own your company, your name, or your success. We invest in you so you can keep ownership and stay focused on building and growing.

We Grow With You

Our flexible model scales as you do. No crushing payment obligations if things take longer. No penalties for pursuing your vision your way.

We Believe in People, Not Perfect Metrics

You’re more than a credit score. You're a founder before your first revenue. You're an athlete before the first contract. You're a creator before the first 100K followers.

Where Grit Meets Opportunity

Athletes who use Chisos funding are training harder, traveling further, and staying in the game longer.

Chisos is a great potential partner for players looking for the early fuel required to take the journey. I strongly encourage players to think in terms of and plan for a marathon if your aim is to make professional golf a career.”

- Michael Rush, International Pro Golfer

Creators are launching product lines, growing platforms, and owning their monetization journeys. Founders are building MVPs, hiring early teams, and getting to market faster.

We don't just write checks. We create inflection points that change lives and launch careers.
