Nostria Launches $400,000 Seed Round via Revenue-Based Financing on Angor Protocol

October 6, 2025 – Nostria, the next-generation Nostr client platform, today announced the launch of its $400,000 seed funding round using a Revenue-Based Financing (RBF) structure recorded on the Angor protocol. This innovative approach allows investors to participate directly in Nostria's premium subscription revenue through Bitcoin-settled monthly distributions, without taking equity or issuing tokens.

Revolutionary Funding Model

Unlike traditional venture capital or token offerings, Nostria's RBF structure provides investors with a transparent, formula-driven share of the company's subscription revenue. Contributors receive 50% of net premium subscription revenue, distributed monthly in Bitcoin based on their weighted contribution percentage.

"We're pioneering a new way to fund decentralized social infrastructure," said Sondre Bjellås, CEO of Nostria. "By using the Angor protocol to record contributions and automate distributions, we're creating a fully transparent funding mechanism that aligns investor interests with our long-term success—without diluting ownership or creating speculative token dynamics."

Investment Structure & Benefits

The seed round offers three investment tiers:

• Supporter ($1,000): RBF agreement with 2× minimum review threshold, pro-rata rights, and 6 months of Nostria Premium
• Angel ($5,000): All Supporter benefits plus quarterly investor calls, app credits recognition, and 1 year of Premium access
• Partner ($10,000+): All Angel benefits plus direct team access, product roadmap input, and 1 year of Premium+

Pre-seed investors who contributed $38,000 earlier receive a 1.15× weighting uplift in the combined pool, recognizing their early support.

Angor Protocol Integration

The Angor protocol provides a Bitcoin-native platform for transparent project funding. By recording contributions on Angor, Nostria ensures:

• Immutable record of all investor contributions and weightings
• Transparent tracking of revenue distributions
• Built-in accountability without intermediaries
• Bitcoin-native settlement for all revenue shares
