Key takeaways
- Planned: Stripe for funds paying in US dollars, Razorpay for funds paying in rupees.
- Founders always use Delsivo for free. There is no founder payment page.
- Card and UPI details stay with the payment provider; Delsivo keeps billing contact, invoices and payment status.
- Delsivo never moves investment money. Transaction execution is out of scope.
Planned feature: not in Delsivo yet, and details may change before it ships.
What Stripe and Razorpay billing covers
Delsivo is fund-paid. The plan is an annual workspace with application and AI usage allowances, priced after design partner pilots measure real usage. When that pricing exists, a fund will pay through one of two providers, depending on currency.
These providers sit on our subprocessor list because they handle a fund's billing details. They don't touch deal data, decks or founder information.
| Provider | Currency | What it handles | What Delsivo keeps |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stripe | US dollars | Card payments | Billing contact, invoices, payment status |
| Razorpay | Rupees | Card and UPI payments | Billing contact, invoices, payment status |
Card and UPI details stay with the provider. Delsivo never stores them.
What it is not
- Not a way to charge founders. Founders apply, interview, answer requests and upload files for free.
- Not a way to wire or receive investment money. Fund accounting, LP reporting, custody and transaction execution are outside Delsivo's scope.
- Not a data connection. Billing doesn't read or write deals, contacts or decks.
How paying would work for a fund
- 1A design partner pilot is agreed and priced with your fund directly.
- 2After pilots set workspace pricing, a fund admin chooses a plan and a currency.
- 3Payment runs through Stripe for US dollars or Razorpay for rupees.
- 4Invoices and payment status show in the workspace for admins.
- 5Plan upgrades turn on extras such as a custom domain or removing the Powered by Delsivo badge.
The pricing page explains what each plan is meant to include, and the refund policy covers what happens if you cancel.
Who sees billing information
Billing is an admin concern. Fund admins manage settings and roles, so they are the people who would see invoices and change the plan. Analysts, partners without admin rights, guest experts and founders wouldn't see billing at all. Plan allowances are checked before AI work runs, so a fund that reaches its allowance is told before the work runs, not after.
