CAPRI Framework
Member AccessCapital Agreements for Partnerships, Rights, and Innovation
A Modular Legal Framework
The capital system is broken at every scale.
Most companies aren't VC-investable. CAPRI builds the legal instruments they actually need.
More deals. More options. Risk, structured.
Instruments
Four named instruments. One composing scale.
SPARK ignites. CORE retains essence. STAGE scales with transparency. PRIME prepares for any exit. The same grammar composes at infrastructure scale.
