The step-by-step guide to running execution-based financing through the CX Protocol.
1. Purpose of Sprint Financing
Sprint Financing allows CX Operators to fund short, high-impact expert engagements for startups or SMEs immediately, without requiring them to raise a funding round first.
Key difference: Startups repay only when the agreed milestone is achieved, with repayments capped at a fixed multiple (2–3×).
This model:
- Reduces dilution for founders.
- Aligns incentives between startups, experts, and operators.
- Creates a predictable, recyclable capital engine for Operators.
2. Core Principles
- Risk Reduction — No equity commitment until the quality of expert bids is proven.
- Performance-Linked — Repayment starts only when the milestone trigger is hit.
- Capped Obligation — Startup’s repayment has a fixed upper limit.
- Expert-First Deployment — Capital flows directly to proven experts.
- Operator Evaluation — Every deal is assessed on founder fit, growth story, repayment potential, and valuation.
