Our End-To-End Crowdfunding Process

We provide a structured approach for Australian backers and founders, ensuring every campaign follows a high standard of review, community input, and ethical management.

1

Initial Application Review

Founders submit documentation outlining business objectives, management, and growth strategy.

Our team examines submissions to verify authenticity, ensuring each opportunity aligns with platform standards. This process involves document checks, founder interviews, and initial risk screening.

2

Community Evaluation

Shortlisted startups are shared with platform members for feedback and open Q&A sessions.

We encourage all registered users to participate in reviewing and questioning startups, ensuring different perspectives are heard before campaign approval is granted by the platform.

3

Due Diligence Assessment

Our experts conduct independent reviews using both quantitative and qualitative criteria.

Startups must meet our transparency standards, pass compliance checks, and provide clear, accessible documentation before participating in any funding round.

4

Ongoing Campaign Support

Campaigns are monitored for compliance and ongoing engagement throughout their duration.

We provide continual platform oversight, facilitating communication, answering questions, and supporting both backers and founders while maintaining community standards and regulatory obligations.
