To kick-start the next generation of startups, Vestd has introduced ‘InVestd Raise’ - a package that helps companies attract and manage investment rounds, totally transforming what is typically, a very expensive process.
Startups can easily spend £5k or more preparing for an upcoming funding round, including getting all the necessary docs in order. But InVestd Raise is here to change all that…
Take advantage of our key document templates, auto-generate investment agreements, sign and store everything in a secure data room, and keep investors in the loop.
Tame your cap table, model future funding rounds, apply for SEIS/EIS advance assurance and issue shares instantly with InVestd Raise.
InVestd Raise is an add-on competitively priced at £150/mo and a minimum 12-month subscription applies.
What’s more, there are zero completion fees. That means that Vestd won’t take a cut of any investment you raise on the platform (the same can’t be said for our competitors). Nor any upfront fees.
So let’s say you paired Raise with our Essentials plan, which starts at £25 per month. That’s just £175 per month to pay!
Vestd’s founder and CEO, Ifty Nasir, puts this into perspective:
“How a funding round normally works is that a startup will take a stab at creating a pitch deck that may or may not give investors the information they need, they’ll then pay between £400 and £1,500 to get their S/EIS (a tax incentive for investors) sorted, they’ll pay for legal and accountancy costs to get their cap tables and shares in order and then they’ll pay a huge completion fee on top of all this!”
“And actually, most other platforms charge upfront fees too. The average, by our calculations, must be in the region of £4k.”
“So all in all, startups pay and pay and pay, and eventually will be out of pocket by thousands of pounds at minimum”.
“We wanted to do something quite different - something that offers genuine help to the industry - and our response is our brand new InVestd Raise suite”.
“We’ve packaged up everything that a startup needs, including S/EIS and we’ll be charging a flat fee with zero commission for early adopters”.
With everything you need to be prepared all in one place, you’ll whizz through your next funding round without spending a fortune in the process. No hidden fees, no faff!
