Private Market Guide for investor networks

Last updated on May 19, 2023

Funderbeam is a global platform that enables companies to run private syndications and secondaries whilst offering a unique option of liquidity for investors.

Angel networks, accelerators, and VCs find and fund future unicorns and help them grow along the way.

However, the start-up investment process can involve a lot of time-consuming legal and communication issues. With follow-up funding rounds and corporate events to set up, this can quickly become time and resource-consuming.

Funderbeam provides a legal framework that allows for a streamlined fundraising process as well as technology to help you with corporate governance and investor communications issues (i.e. shareholder voting) post-fundraising, all in one place.

The main benefits for you to use Funderbeam as your tool to manage BANs fundraisings are:

✓ The Funderbeam nominee structure eliminates the need to establish and administer an SPV yourself.

✓ Manage syndicate access by investor pools.

✓ Investment agreements are signed and stored on-platform.

✓ Information sharing and visibility all in one central online location.

✓ Industry-standard KYC and Due Diligence are handled by Funderbeam.

✓ Investors can trade shares within a Private Trading Pool, available via Funderbeam’s regulated exchange – liquidity for Investors and Companies.

✓ Investors retain rights to the underlying equity.

How do I get started?

As a manager, you will have a custom URL to log in to your space.

A space on Funderbeam is a private, access-managed area of the platform to work with your funding projects and manage investor access. Everything in your space is strictly private and only visible to the people you grant access to.

Accessing your space.

Your space on Funderbeam has a dedicated login screen. Enter your email and password to log in to your space.

You can also access it via your personal Funderbeam account by logging in and switching to the private space.

Moving between spaces.

You can move between your space and the general Funderbeam space by clicking the logo at the top of the left-side navigation panel and selecting the space you wish to go to.

Space manager dashboard.

To access the space manager dashboard, click “Manage space” on the navigation panel.

 

Projects overview

The Deals tab displays an overview of all projects of your network. Keep an eye on the process of projects in preparation stages, active funding rounds, as well as past projects and secondaries (i.e. instruments that are tradable).

Manage member access

The Access tab allows you to invite members of your network to your space. You can see all members who have access as well as those who have not yet accepted their invitations, so you can follow up with them.

For the initial setup of a network, Funderbeam can also offer bulk upload of your investor list, so they will automatically get notified to join whenever the first syndicate is published and open for indications.

Note: to accept an invitation and gain access to your space, the investor needs a verified Funderbeam account.

Share updates

On the Updates tab, you can post news and updates to your space. These will be visible only to your network members.

Space profile

On the Profile tab, you can edit some basic information about your network, upload your network logo and pick a colour theme.
