The old way
Most platforms get paid whether you win or not.
Subscriptions, entry fees, carry on your gains, SPVs between you and the company. You end up a line item in someone else's vehicle, with little information and no access to the founder.
You pay to get in.
Annual subscriptions and variable fees, before you've seen a single return.
You don't own what you think you own.
SPVs and nominee structures put a layer between you and the company.
You invest blind.
A thin profile, a pitch video, and your questions go unanswered.
Private by default
Due diligence without the chase.
Request financials, cap table and customer metrics straight from the founder. Founders control access, conversations stay private, and you make an offer only when there's a real fit.
