FAQs

How is the valuation of a company determined?

The company determines the valuation with advice from consultants or relevant investment parties.

Who brings the investors to my syndicate?

The investment network i.e. your BAN or accelerator brings the investors to your syndicate, but you can also invite investors into the round.

What are the fees?

Please see the default fee schedule.

When applicable, what is the carry fee?

At Funderbeam, the carry fee is calculated on a per-share basis. The Lead Investor and/or Funderbeam receives a carry fee, rather than profit, which is common in venture capital.

In case of an exit, the Lead Investor is eligible to sell carry shares and collect the profit from the investment.
