For Investors How it works Investing in private emerging growth companies You are an accredited investor and looking for ways to increase your return. In the past, investing in these companies required that you either invest a large amount of money in a venture firm or hedge fund. Now, you can diversify your portfolio across multiple industries - or laser focus on an industry like health care or real estate that you already know and follow. You might already know members of the management team. You could be a current customer or supplier. Perhaps your investment advisor has connections at the company - The point is, you want in. Pitch Pages Deal transparency and communications Each company seeking funds is required to provide specific information such as term sheets, cap tables, pro formas, executive summaries, business plans, press releases and their pitch presentation. Companies provide information and links to their past investors, founding team members, key employees and strategic advisors that assist you in knowing not only their business model – but who is going to execute the plan. As a company gains interested investment followers, you can track and follow the momentum. Each page has an activity feed that keeps you up to date and properly informed on recent changes and activities. The Q&A section allows you to engage and be informed on a continual basis.
