FAQs
Will I receive updates from the founders after I invest?
Yes. Companies are required to share annual reports and milestone updates so investors stay informed about progress and impact.
Can I engage with the founders directly?
Yes. If you’d like to contribute expertise or support, you can contact the team through the details in their updates or company profile. Many founders welcome investor input.
What if a company I support fails?
Early-stage investing carries significant risk, including the possibility of losing your entire investment. We encourage investors to diversify and invest responsibly. Transparency is central to how we operate.
How do you select mission-driven companies?
We evaluate whether the company solves a real problem, whether the team is credible, and whether the business model shows meaningful potential. We also review legal, financial and governance aspects before listing.
Is my investor profile public?
Your profile is private by default. You can choose to make it public to increase visibility or recognition within the investor community.
Can I see who else invested in the same company?
Yes. You can view the number of investors supporting each company, and if other users have public profiles, you may see their participation as well.
