🔎 Valacuha — Investor FAQ
📌 Block 1: Core Product & Wedge
1. What is your North Star Metric?
Answer: Our primary value metric is User Engagement & Retention (time spent on the platform and cohort return rate) rather than gross registrations. For a next-generation social ecosystem, the quality and depth of interaction within the community are critical, as they directly determine the long-term viability and growth of the product.
2. Why are you starting specifically with Christian dating?
Answer: This is our beachhead market. This niche is characterized by extremely high community density, high organic trust, and a shortage of secure technological solutions. This allows us to achieve a very low Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC). After validating our product mechanics and retention on this cohort, we will scale the platform horizontally to other value-based private communities.
3. What is your Network Effect?
Answer: Our product possesses a two-sided network effect. First, each new active user increases the matching value for everyone else. Second, users can create local open and closed groups, generating internal viral referral loops. We also actively involve the core community in moderation and ecosystem development via direct feedback loops.
📌 Block 2: Legal Structure & Round
4. What is the legal status of the round? Who is the counterparty?
Answer: The current stage is Pre-seed. The project is undergoing corporate restructuring: the target corporate entity (CJSC / ЗАО) will be finalized by November 1, 2026. The $100,000 round is being raised for a 7.5% equity allocation. We are flexible regarding the investment instrument and are ready to implement a Convertible Loan or SAFE agreement, which are standard and transparent for international institutional funds.
5. Where will the holding entity and Intellectual Property (IP) be registered?
Answer: The primary operational company will be based in the Republic of Belarus. To protect our Intellectual Property (IP) and trademarks globally, we are establishing an international framework, registering rights via WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization) as well as directly in key target jurisdictions, including the US and China. This ensures legal compliance for global scaling.
6. What is the specific Use of Funds for the €100,000?
Answer: The capital is strictly tied to operational milestones with the following distribution:
- 45% — Product & Engineering (Core web/mobile development, UI/UX, database architecture)
- 25% — Growth & GTM (Marketing, cohort validation, niche community partnerships)
- 15% — Trust & Safety (Infrastructure security, user verification systems)
- 15% — Legal & Compliance (Corporate structuring, IP transfer, risk mitigation)
📌 Block 3: Traction & Growth
7. What is your D1, D7, and D30 Retention?
Answer: We are currently preparing to launch a closed beta test for a cohort of 1,000–5,000 verified users to measure clean organic retention. Verified cohort data (D1/D7/D30) will be available in the Data Room within 8 months after receiving the first tranche of the round and deploying the analytical infrastructure.
8. What is your Go-To-Market (GTM) strategy?
Answer: Our strategy combines two pillars:
- Organic: Direct partnerships with existing value-based communities, niche influencers, and viral referral loops built into the product mechanics.
- Paid: Targeted customer acquisition campaigns via Google Ads and Yandex Direct, strictly optimized for user activation costs rather than generic traffic.
📌 Block 4: Trust & Safety
9. How do you protect user privacy and data in the Social Discovery niche?
Answer: Security is our primary market moat. The platform's architecture is fully compliant with Belarus Law No. 99-Z "On Personal Data Protection" and international encryption standards. We implement a strict profile verification framework to eliminate bots and fraud. Furthermore, we plan to collaborate with specialized cyber-safety experts to build a dynamic fraud prevention database and educate users directly inside the application.
