Starter is the smallest commitment on the site and the one most first-time depositors pick. Here is what it is, without the marketing.
What it is
The lowest of the three deposit tiers. Its published return cap is lower than Gold's and Liquid Gold's, and its cycle is the same shape as theirs. You can compare all three in how a plan is priced.
Who it suits
- Someone depositing for the first time who wants the smallest sensible commitment.
- Someone who wants to see how a cycle actually works before committing more.
Who it does not suit
- Anyone whose plan is to make money quickly. The cycle length is fixed, and the cap is a ceiling, not a floor.
- Anyone who would need the money back before the cycle ends — see withdrawals for what the timing means.
Whatever tier you choose: deposit an amount you could lose and still meet your commitments. We would rather you start small and stay than start large and leave. How to size a position covers this properly.
Before you start
Read the Terms of Service and the Risk Disclosure. Both are short. Both are the binding documents, and this article is neither. Then read the mistakes first-timers make, which is a list of things people wish they had read first.
