The Warrant Zone — the $10M–$50M band is where our warrant strategy compounds ownership.
Warrants 101
The unfair advantage, step by step
How a small early check turns into outsized ownership through the warrant structure.
- 1
Buy in early and cheap
A small initial check at an early-stage entry valuation — roughly a 70% discount to the market — with a warrant locked in from day one.
- 2
Add value, then wait
About three years of growth support and diligence while the company compounds, with the warrant held in reserve.
- 3
Exercise the warrant
Expert Dojo exercises the pre-negotiated warrant at a capped valuation of $10M - an 80-90% discount to where the company is actually trading.
- 4
Capture the mark
The result is minimally-diluted ownership in a breakout company, bought at a fraction of the price the rest of the market pays.
- 5
Expand ownership through private equity
If for any reason we don't exercise the warrant or identify additional upside, we can increase our ownership through targeted private equity investments, supported by our dedicated expandable team.
Warrant cap$10M valuation— warrants are exercised at a capped valuation, no matter how far the company has run.
Warrant strategy in action
Warrants exercised
Roughly three years after the initial check, Expert Dojo exercises pre-negotiated warrants at a deep discount — a second bite at the best performers.

The model
A Berkshire for alternative assets
Not a fund — a permanent-capital holding company. Investors own the holdco directly, so the usual fund frictions disappear.
No management feesNo carryNo lock-up
1
Early equity
Standard $50–100k check at a ≤$1.4M valuation — roughly a 70% discount to where these companies trade next.
2
Warrants
Pre-negotiated right to put in ~$1M for ~10% at a $10M valuation, executed ~3 years after the initial check — an 80–90% discount to market.
3
PE positions
Concentrated private-equity stakes, ~30% ownership, in the names that have already proven out.
You came here expecting another VC fund.
What you’ve actually seen is a holding company at the Series A stage building ownership across private early-stage startups.
Today, Expert DOJO has equity in 266 startups globally. Our ambition is to grow that ownership to 1,000+ companies while continuing to build the operating infrastructure that helps those companies grow and compound long-term value.
If you’d like to see how we’re building it, we’d love to continue the conversation.
