No Stanko-specific check range is public. A current third-party V3V profile reports a firm-level typical range of $100K–$1M at pre-seed/seed, while public round databases describe the larger rounds V3V joins rather than its own checks. Treat $100K–$1M as directional and confirm instrument, allocation and follow-on capacity directly.

Faction does not publish a standard check range or Clara's personal allocation authority. Its official mandate is Seed and Series A investments across equity and tokens; public round sizes must not be mistaken for Faction's check size.
