FAQ

Each business plan is original and this makes the portfolio of projects looking for an investor through us diverse. The projects can be divided by their focus or the scope of the market they target potentially. There can be both global IT start-ups among our projects, as well as regional craft businesses, for example. The investment really depends on the investor’s preference and interest.
The form of entering in a project will differ based on the needs of the project and the investor. Most often, it is an investment entry in the form of private equity, when an angel investor or fund gets a share in the newly established company.
We want to be as helpful as we can in the investment process. We are able to provide mentoring for the investor in the area of preparation of a right process of establishing a company for the project, and defining the terms in the term-sheet. At the same time, we are able to provide service for your new start-up, such as consultation on strategies, or create a marketing plan and others.
Investing into start-ups cannot be usually guaranteed in any way. The investor’s financial entry in a project brings along certain risk, but it is an opportunity for significant appreciation of the investment at the same time.
The number of projects keeps growing but we focus mostly on improving their quality; these should be start-ups ready for investment, first of all. That is why we go to expert conferences and lectures, to meet the authors of the business ideas.
Finding a suitable start-up investment can take a few days or a few months. It depends primarily on the type of investor and how much risk they are willing to take. There are projects that are still in the idea stage and need to have the proof of concept verified, but we also have some that are already working companies with a real and tested business plan and well established on the market. Basically, it depends on the possibilities and preferences of each investor.
Your first contact with the project usually takes place on the StartUpStart platform. The Starter, which is filled in by each project, will give you the answers to the main questions that the investors are interested in. In case of interest in further discussion, we will accompany you to a personal meeting, to be able to manage the negotiation and help both parties with the subsequent steps.
Projects in all stages, from a business idea to working business companies, are looking for investors through our platform. This makes it possible for us to find suitable projects for most investors.
If an investment is carried out successfully, the investor will pay a commission of 3-10% from the overall amount invested. We are doing our best to burden the project authors as little as possible so they do not pay any commission. We will be happy to send you a detailed overview of a tentative plan by e-mail.
