FAQs
How does this platform work for investors?▶
You can manually search for StartUps or set your preferred criteria, and our platform will recommend potential live investment opportunities for you.
How does your platform compare to traditional investment methods?▶
Our platform significantly reduces the time required to close a deal, allowing you to find, evaluate, and invest in StartUps much faster than traditional methods. We offer the best combination of security, budget fitting costs, seamless experience, and speed.
Can I access all information about a StartUp before investing?▶
Most of the StartUp’s information is visible from the start. However, sensitive documents require the StartUp’s approval to ensure commitment and confidentiality.
Can I speak with StartUps before investing? What happens after I decide to invest?▶
Yes! In fact, we strongly encourage investors to communicate with StartUps before making an investment to ensure alignment. Once you negotiate and agree on terms with the StartUp, both parties sign the necessary documents. The funds are then transferred to an escrow account and released when both sides confirm the deal.
What are the fees for investors?▶
We charge a commission of 1% per transaction, but never more than $1,500.
How is my investment protected? How do you ensure commitnent and seriousness from StartUps?▶
Funds go through an escrow system and are only released when both parties approve. This ensures a secure and fair transaction.
Can I sell my shares after investing?▶
This depends on the agreement you negotiate with the StartUp. Each deal has different conditions regarding liquidity and exits.
