✨Hey there, tech stackers! 🚀

🧠 Stack Spotlight: How Chisos Built a Scalable Structured Finance Platform Without Traditional VC Tools

Chisos Capital is pioneering a different path in the world of startup finance—structured equity and alternative capital for founders without access to traditional VC. What’s just as interesting is the stack they’ve built to support this model.

This is a modern example of how a lean, well-integrated toolset can power a complex fintech business, serve underserved markets, and stay flexible in an evolving funding ecosystem.

Here’s a breakdown of the Chisos Capital tech stack 👇

Keep more of what you earn

Collective helps members keep more of what they earn — saving an average of $10,000 a year in taxes* — while taking countless hours of administrative work off their plates.

Your membership includes LLC and S Corp formation, payroll, monthly bookkeeping, quarterly tax estimates, annual business tax filing and more.

*Based on the average 2022 tax savings of active Collective users with an S Corp tax election for the 2022 tax year
