Transfer the risk. Keep the upside.
Every direct private investor faces the same structural problem: the risk is fused to the asset. With Parachute, you transfer that risk to us — through a policy you control. Risk management as easy as AppleCare.
Risk lives with the asset.
When the company goes to zero, your capital goes with it. No exit, no recourse. You either ride it out or write it off.
Risk transfers to us.
You hold the policy — a contract you control. Premium when you want coverage. Claim if the asset goes to zero. Cancel anytime if it doesn't.
You get 1–2 shots. Fund managers get 30.
Private-investing returns follow a barbell — 70% wipeout, 32× tail. The math only works if you get enough shots at the tail. Fund managers cycle 30 positions per vintage. Accredited Investors who invest directly typically get 1–2 over a 30-year career. P(catching the tail) drops from 60% to 6%. The system was never built for them.

Remove the fear. Keep the upside.

Why I'm building Parachute
After 10 years as a founder, raising $10M+ across 2 ventures and managing 100+ investor relationships, I watched even my wealthiest investors get wiped out — and stay silent about it. The pain is real; it's just hidden. I invested the proceeds of my last exit to build the safety system I wish they'd had.
