Fund the next spark, directly.

Torches connects builders of patents, apps, and software with investors who want in early. List a project, verify it's really yours, and negotiate terms: person to person, no middleman moving the money.

How it works

List what you're building

Innovators submit a project, verify ownership of their domain or patent, and set a fixed ask or leave terms open to negotiation.

Get reviewed, go live

Every submission is manually checked before it's discoverable: no bots, no spam, no unverified claims.

Connect directly

Investors browse, message, and negotiate terms directly with Innovators. Funds move privately, between the two of you.

Track the record

Once an investment happens off-platform, both sides confirm it: building a public, verifiable track record over time.

Torches doesn't touch your money.

We're a discovery, verification, and messaging layer. Investments happen directly between Investor and Innovator. Torches never holds or moves investment funds.
