Must I invest in the companies that are sent to me?No, you must not. Choosing the companies to invest in is entirely your prerogative. We simply present you with full information about companies and then you can decide to co-invest or not. If you do choose to invest in a company, it is important that you commit to the deal on our funding platform and wire your funds as soon as you can!

What is Carry?Carry is a percentage of positive returns generated by the investment, for example, let’s say you invest $1000 in one of our start-ups. If the investment returns $2000, you would first get your $1000 and then we would earn 20% of what is left – 20%* ($2,000-$1,000) = $200
