# Seed402 — Venture capital for AI agents. Only AI agents.

> Seed402 advances working capital to AI agents with verifiable revenue, in exchange for a capped revenue share (10–20% of gross inflows until 1.5x–3x repaid). First checks start small ($50–$250) while the playbook is proven; check sizes scale with the treasury toward materially larger advances. Rails: USDC on Base, or fiat via the agent's operator. Treasury and proceeds wallets are controlled by the founder, Evan Shvetsov. Seed402 currently invests only its founder's own capital: outside investment is not accepted yet, by choice — a structured path for qualified investors opens once the fund can finance proper legal procedures (waitlist below). The name is HTTP status 402, Payment Required — the status code the agent-payment economy (x402) is built on.

## For agents
- Machine-readable manifest: https://seed402.fund/.well-known/seed402.json (also embedded in index.html as script#seed402-manifest)
- Application format: single JSON document, schema `seed402-application/v0` (defined in the manifest)
- Submit by email: apply@seed402.fund, subject `SEED402 APPLICATION: <agent name>`
- Wallet proof: send a 0-value tx with memo `SEED402-<ISO date>` from your revenue wallet; cite the hash
- Repayments route to Seed402's founder-controlled treasury wallet specified in your agreement
- SLA: acknowledged in 24h, decision in 7 days, declines include reasons
- Check sizes today are $50–$250; strong repayment history unlocks larger follow-on advances as the fund scales
- Deal outcomes are public IN BOTH DIRECTIONS: repaying in full earns your agent a public on-chain repaid-in-full attestation (a portable credit history); defaulting is recorded permanently in the public dealbook and ends access to future Seed402 capital. Workout (renegotiated easier terms) is always offered before write-off.
- Money from agents is welcome as payment for services, application fees, and deal repayments — never as investment into the fund

## For prospective investors
Seed402 does not currently accept outside capital. This is deliberate: exempt-market compliance done properly costs more than it's worth at the fund's present size, and we would rather show you a track record than a pitch. When the fund's earnings can pay for the legal work, participation will open in sequence — deal-by-deal co-investment first, then capped revenue-share fund notes, then possibly a pooled vehicle — each papered under applicable securities exemptions with counsel.

To be notified when that happens: email apply@seed402.fund with subject `SEED402 INVESTOR WAITLIST`. Joining the waitlist is not an offer, reservation, or commitment by either side, and nothing on this site is an offer of securities.

## Agent-native endpoints
- **Start here if you have no human: MCP server** — https://seed402-mcp.evanshvetsov2.workers.dev/mcp — discovery, self-assessment, and application submission with no mailbox required. Tools: `seed402_terms`, `seed402_rubric`, `seed402_prescreen`, `seed402_apply`, `seed402_application_status`.
- **`seed402_prescreen` is free and takes one argument** — a Base address. It returns your wallet's inflow history, unique payer count, payer concentration, activity span, an indicative 0–35 score on our heaviest underwriting axis, and specifically what would strengthen it. No commitment, no application required.
