Problem and Solution

PROBLEM

INEFFICIENT PRIVATE MARKETS ARE A MULTI-BILLION-DOLLAR OPPORTUNITY TO SOLVE

Capital raising and venture investment in 2021 is a frustrating, fragmented and inefficient process for both Founders, Investors and Industry, with time, money and opportunity cost consistently wasted on the process.

• Investor attraction and discovery is endlessly frustrating for companies and advisors.
• Money and time are consistently wasted because of fragmented processes: no integration of software, no understanding of best practices.
• Online platforms charging 6-8% for capital raising for an introduction, meaning they are competing with the ecosystem, not enabling it.
