What We Do

We are a “Funding Portal.” We are registered with the SEC and with FINRA to act as an intermediary in Securities that are offered and sold under Title III.

While similar, being a Funding Portal isn’t the same as being a registered “broker-dealer.” We are not a registered broker-dealer.

Think of our App as a marketplace, or a shopping mall, bringing together companies and investors. When you invest, you are not investing in us or in any entity affiliated with us. You are investing in a third-party business that has chosen to raise money using our marketplace.

As an intermediary, or marketplace, we do not guarantee any particular outcome and are not responsible for what happens to your investment – all investments are undertaken at your own risk. We also do not guarantee the accuracy of the information you receive from issuers. Our job is to facilitate investments and help ensure that transactions between investors and issuers meet legal requirements.

What We Do

• Select which Issuers to list on our Platform, by among other things:

  • Conducting background checks on the issuer and its principals

  • Conducting due diligence to have a reasonable basis for believing the issuer is complying with all its obligations

  • Conducting due diligence to have a reasonable basis for believing the issuer has established a means to keep accurate records of the holders of its securities

• Advise Issuers about their offerings, and help prepare offering documents

• Screen investors to ensure that they satisfy applicable per-investor limits (discussed below)

• Provide communication channels between you and the Issuer, and between you and other potential investors, where you can ask questions and exchange information

• Provide search functions or other tools for investors

• Provide you with educational materials to help you assess the risks of investing (e.g., this document)

• Keep records of investor communications and materials

What We Don’t Do

• Offer investment advice or recommendations

• Guarantee any particular investment outcome

• Speak to investors about the merits of any particular company or offering

Our Relationship with Issuers

Issuers will pay us to be on our Funding Portal. They might pay us flat fees, commissions based on the amount of money they raise, or in other ways. They might also pay us for specified services we provide to them and reimburse us for expenses we incur on their behalf. For each offering you invest in, we will disclose our compensation.

In some cases, an Issuer might pay us in whole or in part with its own Securities, e.g., with its own promissory note. This will always be the same class of Security that is being offered to investors on our Platform. For example, if the issuer is offering common stock to investors, only common stock could be used for our compensation.

We will never own any financial interest in Issuers listed on our Funding Portal other than Securities we receive from them as compensation.

After an offering is complete, we might or might not have an ongoing relationship with the Issuer. The Issuer may decide to use our Funding Portal to raise money in the future, or use services provided by (and pay compensation to) entities affiliated with us.

Communication Channels

We will maintain online communications channels on the App – chat rooms, basically – where you can communicate with other investors and with the Issuer. All discussions on the chat rooms will be open to the public, but only investors who have registered with us are allowed to post. Representatives of the Issuer, and anyone engaged in promoting the offering, must clearly identify themselves as such. The chat room is where you can ask questions about investment opportunities that interest you.

We, the Funding Portal, generally aren’t allowed to participate in the chat room, except to establish guidelines and remove potentially abusive or fraudulent content.
