How it works
-
Application
Start filling out your application and choose the kind of funding you wish to receive:
- Equity: in exchange for their investment, your investors receive Notes (stakes in the company).
- Loan: investors are reimbursed over a period of time.
- Convertible loan: a loan that can be later converted into equity.
-
Selection
After sending Spreds a series of documents proving the existence of your company. Our team will decide, based on a set of objective criteria whether your company is eligible or not for a campaign.
-
Preparation
Build up excitement by preparing and motivating your network ahead of the campaign. You will be assisted by our team to help you in the preparation of your campaign to ensure its success.
-
Private fundraising
Campaigns are done in phases. If you wish to have a public campaign, you must first go through a private phase to pre-launch your project to your network. After reaching a predefined threshold, we make your campaign accessible to the public, i.e. the crowd.
-
Public fundraising
The campaign is open to whoever wishes to invest in the company. We recommend developing a communication campaign to accompany your public fundraising in order to maximise its effects. The entrepreneurs will lead their campaign while being assisted by the Spreds team.
-
The result
The investment period closes. The company has either reached the minimum funding objective and succeeds, or has not, and the campaign is refunded.
