Staket was founded after identifying a structural problem in the DACH startup ecosystem — and deciding to do something about it.
Seed-stage startups routinely fail — not because their ideas are bad, but because they can't access the professional talent they need at a price they can afford.
At the same time, skilled designers, developers, lawyers and marketers have no structured path to invest their expertise in promising startups and receive equity in return.
We built the bridge. A curated, transparent, legally sound platform where all three sides of the startup ecosystem — founders, experts, and investors — meet and build together.
Every deal, every equity agreement, and every contract on Staket is fully transparent to all parties involved.
Every profile is manually reviewed by our team. We don't let bots or unverified accounts onto the platform.
We measure our success by the success of our members — the startups that launch, the deals that close, the equity that vests.
Staket is not just a platform — it's a community of builders, experts, and backers who believe in each other.
Advisory board positions are being filled — Munich, 2026.
Whether you're building a startup, offering expertise, or looking to invest early — there's a place for you.
